Game of Thrones begins....

[Viking]

Yeah, skull shape is identical.  Rachel has bigger lips.

plus she has the same nose and eye colour as Lyanna's son.


Perhaps Richard Armitage as Rhaegar?

I have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

bookreader or unsullied?

bookreader or unsullied?

If those are the only two choices, unsullied.

Then I'm sorry, I cannot explain what I mean. Unless you want the big spoiler - that pretty much everybody has figured out already.

Edit: technically it is not a spoiler since it hasn't happened yet, but martin has pretty much admitted that it will happen.

Rhaegar is the dragon prince that the fat king killed to win his throne. He was Danaerys' older brother.

He is Sir Not Appearing In This Show as he died some years before the story starts.

As noted there is a favorite theory about him and Lyanna, Ned Stark's sister, who died around the same time.

It is said that Arya looks just like Lyanna did.

This show does not seem to be big on flashbacks so I doubt we will see Rhaegar or Lyanna.

Same eyebrows, same mouth, same nose, same hair...

Not even close. Maisie Williams is very very average looking.

[Eddie Teach]

In many cases where there is a strong resemblance between two people, one is still clearly more attractive than the other. (Not gonna opine on whether that is the case here or not).

They really should do a season opener with a battle of the trident.
Or maybe as a Bran vision...

[Phillip V]

On the show, characters talking about the distant past is probably very confusing to GoT viewers. Did the show creators ever get interviewed about why they do not incorporate flashback scenes?

I would have loved to see a young Robert Baratheon or Ned discovering Jaimie in the throne room.

[Josquius]

I guess there is too much potential for flashbacks. You have one or two then there is the temptation to turn the entire show into Lost.
Besides, people talking about their past lets them show off their acting skillz and is cheap to make.

That being said I don't think one nice big flashback at the beginning of a series would hurt things.

[Phillip V]

Wish they did without the super photoshop, but here is some Lady Brienne in the middle:

[Siege]

Episode 8 was pretty cool.
That stupid sellsword does not look like in the book.
The 3 forked beard me not likes.

Watching Episode 9 now.
The Bran taking over Hodor was excellent.
The green fork is waaay wider than I thought from the books.
The Twins too small. Like keeps instead of the fortresses.

[Siege]

Haha, now I understand the jokes about Edmure Tully.

[Phillip V]

I very much enjoy this CK2 AAR of Jon Snow later *spoilers*: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?681677-And-Now-My-Watch-is-Ended-A-Game-of-Thrones-Mod
