Is Osha the chick with the big eyeballs and eyebrows?

This series has really been a boon for actors and actresses with funky northernish accents, hasn't it?

Aye.

She's actually a rather posh southerner.
She played the multicoloured hair girl in Harry Potter.

Nope.  Only Harry Potter vet is Lord Frey.  Strange, when you consider how many British actors are on the show.

QuoteShe appeared in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as Nymphadora Tonks, a role she reprised in its sequels Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2.
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.

Did she do a Gollum impression in Harry Potter too, or is that just an affectation she's using for this character only?

I can't beleive Ser Dontos made it into the show.
Why slash Jeyne Westerling and keep Ser Dontos?

I still don't think Robb Starks blunder with the Westerlings in the books is credible.

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Then Martin must be doing some things right, if his work is as credible as the moon landings.

Apparently there really doesn't need to be a motive. Jon maybe is French, and is all "Fuck the world! Life is shit. I shall kill my friend. Why? Because fuck you, that is why! Give me another cigarette"
I thought it was clear that Halfhand's plan was for Jon to kill him and act as an inside man in the wildling army for the Night's Watch. Remember, Halfhand told Jon that "one man on the inside is worth a thousand on the outside" and that Jon had to be willing to do whatever it took to accomplish that. Right after saying that, Halfhand began shouting insults at Jon and attacking him. Later, when he begins yelling insults again, attacks Jon, and contrives a situation in which Jon will have to kill him to survive, I thought it was pretty clear what was expected of Jon. I do agree that they could have been made it more explicit that Jon was acting persuant to the plan, but I don't think it was unclear.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
