*Rumors*
Why? I didn't want to know that. I definitely hate you.

god damn Joffrey  :censored
This. I fucking hate him. Somehow... right before getting executed I wanted his daughter to, I don't know, steal a freaking bow and arrow and kill Joffrey in the act. Joffrey piece of shit.

He's doing his job very well, then.

I actually kind-of like him.

Pure speculation here, but do you think Verne Troyer or Warwick Davis could've done justice to Tyrion?

Absolutely not. I'd say Tyrion, Joffrey and Varys have been the best actors on the show so far.

Tyrion should win an award. Brilliant little actor.
Maisie Williams as Arya is awesome as well.

Yes she is.  I'm really interested to see where this character goes (once again some of it's been spoiled for me already by my damn brother :censored).  Also, other than Ned Stark and Lord Snow, I'm finding she's one of the few characters I not only sympathize with but truly admire.

The second season cannot come fast enough. Really looking forward to seeing the Battle of the Blackwater and the House of the Undying on film. Oh well. At least the 5th book comes out in a month :caffeine:

It goes beyond the actress just being older than the character, Dany is also older in the tv series than in the books.  You should be societally fine there, too.  Most of the young characters were aged up because popular society can't handle the thought that history doesn't agree with our notions of proper.   I think this was discussed in here already... ?

Tyrion will spend the entire second season being a straight up pimp. Look forward to it.

17. The Tv series is set 3 years later than the books, to prevent issues like this. All the characters are a bit older.

Although the TV series says Sansa is 13 and she looks around 16 or 17. ???

The actress playing Sansa was 14 when the first season was filmed.

Sansa was 11 in the books, I think.

Huh, I forgot she was that young in the books.  She's the POV I always looked forward to the most because of how Martin handles her character.

The kid who plays Joffrey is a brilliant little actor.

Him and Tyrion are stealing the show so far, IMO. (great acting all-round though)

This is the best TV series ever. I'm sold.

HBO should produce everything (with nudity :lol  I was used to it with Entourage's graphic scenes, but this just ups the ante in an unseen way!). Cable is the way to go.

You realize if they didn't spread them out over years there would be no hope of it ever finishing?  As it is with yearly seasons, I wonder if Martin might not have to script the seventh season before the book is completely finished.

I don't see that being as much of a problem now as it might've been ten years ago, now that the series is well more than halfway complete.
