Paid Members Nexus Posted June 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 He was the one with the antlers on his helm. It isn't Loras in the books though is it? Â In the books it's Garlan Tyrell, Loras' brother. I figure they didn't want to introduce yet more people. Â The antlers on the helm were pretty unimpressive, which is why I didn't notice them to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 I know I've said this once before, but I really don't care for the handling of Robb's romantic subplot. I can look past the changes from Robb just turning up and going "I've married this lass I met at the Crag" to the story they've told on the show, and I can just about cope with the fact they've renamed her after that N-Dubz tramp, BUT : Â They have made Robb look a total weapon by having his mother first warn him about his vow when she saw the way he was looking at the Volantene girl, and remind him of it AGAIN in the last episode. In the book he fucked the lass in the heat of the moment when he was wounded and she was looking after him, and then married her because he thought it was the honourable thing to do, with Catelyn miles away and unable to warn him that it would piss off the Freys without whom they would have not crossed the Trident. Â Robb, you're a gimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sooo, filming begins on season 3 today. Still not a great deal of casting news yet besides Clive Russell as Brynden 'Blackfish' Tully, Catelyn's awesome uncle, who should have been in season 1 really,   Tara Fitzgerald all but confirmed as Selyse Florent, Stannis' wife   And Kerry Ingram as Shireen, Stannis' daughter (which hopefully means we also get her fool, Patchface)   There's also still a few rumours floating around that Mackenzie Crook might be joining the cast too, possibly as Vargo Hoat of the Brave Companions / Bloody Mummers. I fucking hope that's true because his weird little face would be perfect for 'The Goat'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted July 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 Kerry Ingram was amazing as Matilda in Matilda the Musical, so hopefully she can be good in GoT. Shireen doesn't really feature all that much in ASOS though does she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not a great deal, <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler  She'll get taken to the wall with Stannis, bu probably not 'til season 4.  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); but good to get her involved now as she was in the books as early as the book 2 prologue. I just want to see Patchface to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Dent Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm assuming Season 3 is looking to start around the same time next year as it did this year? Â I got to sit in the Iron Throne at the weekend, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ahh nice, I did that at a signing event last year, don't tell me there was something Thrones-related happening this weekend and I missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dent Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It was at London Film and Comic Con this weekend, you could have your photo taken in it which looks awesome. Someone also brought a long sword for people to use in their photos too. They had a fair few Game of Thrones guests signing and doing photos too, though I didn't meet any of them.

Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 Goddammit Twitter! Why was I not informed of this?! Â Really enjoyed the one I went to before, got to meet Arya, Pycelle, Syrio, Jeor Mormont and Doreah. Walder Frey was supposed to be there but cancelled late on.

Fat Boy Mendoza Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Never seen a single episode but have heard good things about the series so will try and start watching it. Â Went for a drink with a few people the other day, one of which was one of the editors for series 3. He has worked on the previous series and was teasing my mate about spoilers he knew were coming up as she didn't want to hear them. He was telling some great stories about being on set but as I have never seen any of it I couldn't relate to what he was saying. The others we were with were getting well excited about what he was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 9, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2012 Currently about 100 pages from the end of Feast for Crows. Fuck me, bit of a slog isn't it? Especially after the spectacular third book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 Currently about 100 pages from the end of Feast for Crows. Fuck me, bit of a slog isn't it? Especially after the spectacular third book. The thing I found with Crows was that <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler after Storm of Swords, where as far as I can remember all the POV characters were existing characters, Crows just says "fuck you, here's 50 new characters, deal with it". And although there are some great new characters (Victarion being one of my favourites). it's a lot of adjusting. It also feels a bit disjointed with only mainly covering the events in Kings Landing, Dorne and the Iron Islands. You're constantly wondering what's happening north of the wall or across the Narrow Sea. Â Detective Brienne is one of the best side-stories in the series though.

Paid Members Nexus Posted July 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 I disliked Feast initially, but then re-read it and it is pretty good.

Guy Bifkin Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler I found Feast to be real hard work. 800 pages and it seems like very little happens. The engrossing pace and rhythm of the story in the first three novels comes to a jarring halt. It feels like Martin is writing himself into this huge black hole. Â I felt the Brienne chapters were particularly bad; devoting so many pages to what we know is a wild goose chase. The Sansa stuff is painfully dull, but I never really dug that character. Characters I really enjoyed like Ayra, Jaime and Sam are unfortunately given similar treatment. The book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
