I thought her son's name was Robert. :nerd:

The name was changed for the series.

Eddie Teach

Makes sense, I suppose. Wouldn't want viewers confusing him with the dead king.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Jaron

The books sort of do that too. They try not to repeat names too much, if at all. Even if they are only slight variations of the names: Robert, Robb, Robert (called Robin though), Robbett, etc. etc. etc.

Winner of THE grumbler point.

She looks how I imagined Shae.

It's like the history of england, everybodys named Richard, Edward or Henry.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

She had a bit of spunk, but that really isn't something that shows up in mug shots.

Wait, Sibel Kikeli plays Shae? I recall when she had some success with Head-On German BILD "newspaper" ran a smear campaign about her porn performer past.

She's on German tv relatively often (plays in a crime series) and gets casted in both German and Turkish roles.

Her conservative turkish family lost their marbles when she got into porn.

I hope it's good, because episode eight wasn't that good.  Way too slow-moving for a show that only has ten episodes a season.  I can only think that they were scrimping on money, so used a lot of exposition scenes to minimize shooting days.

Biggest turn off so far:
- No Jeyne or Cybell Westerlings.
- No Meera or Jejen Reed.
- No Vargo Hoat.

Talisa is obviously Jeyne.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
