I didn't see the Tullys bending the knee to Robb.

Tell me, which Tully was there that had the authority to do so?

Exactly. Where the fuck was Edmore and the Blackfish. They were there in the book.
And Catelyns father.

Yep no Tully's in the series....so far.

HBO's Game of Thrones has made its first casting hire for season 2:

Natalie Dormer, who memorably played the seductive and doomed Anne Boleyn on Showtime's The Tudors, has been added to the fantasy drama's regular cast.

Dormer will play Margaery Tyrell, a (minor spoiler alert) beautiful and shrewd young woman from the influential House Tyrell. She's pledged to marry the late King Robert's brother, Renly Baratheon, as part of House Tyrell's support for his bid to seize the Iron Throne from King Joffrey.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

The picure attached to the article is terrible.

I thought she was adorable in the Tudors.

Agreed on both. Glad she's in it.

Yeah, she's actually quite hot. :)

I think she will be perfect as Margaery.

You're just jealous... first she gets to fuck jonathan rhys meyers then get gets to fuck gethin anthony and gets to hang out with finn jones.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I don't understand - what about my post makes me look jealous? I think she fits the role - I wasn't critical or sarcastic.

Besides, it's not like Jonathan Rhys Meyers hasn't fucked guys on screen before.

Incidentally, I wonder if anyone has written a critique of SOIAF as an example of "leftist fantasy". If it was a typical (read: more conservative) fantasy, then Ned and Robb would be the heroes - instead they are casualties.

The real heroes, in my view - Daenerys, Jon and Tyrion (with a possible secondary "child" cast of Bran and Arya) are outcasts - an exile (and a woman), a bastard and a cripple. If you want to know who has plot immunity in Martin's books, don't look out for princes, knights and lordlings - they never live. Instead, look out for the "broken things".

Exactly. Where the fuck was Edmore and the Blackfish. They were there in the book.
And Catelyns father.

So, basically, no matter how many times you're told why they were left out, you still want to bitch about it.  Got it.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Tyrion lost a nose, Daenerys is barren... And fundamentally Danerys is no different than Cersei.

Ned and Robb were heroes, heroes don't always win though.

Jon is a pretty traditional hero, the secret true heir is often a bastard.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
