Littlefinger is being portrayed very villainy. Not that he isn't, or wasn't intended as such, but you can almost see him twirl him moustache as he walks into a scene.

Yes.  In a visual medium you have to say as much as possible visually.  He'd not get by in "real life" being so obviously slimey.  The show may have overdone it.

Yeah, read that the other day. I recall back in the time of series 1 a lot of people were calling for her to be cast as Asha. I guess they expected that scene not to make it through intact.


Hot Pie is my new hero.

Well, if Brienne had been Aemory Lorch or Adam Marbrand instead he would have been a filthy betrayer of virtuous Starks.
I was thinking more about his speech about making pie right :p

Sophie Turner's audition


Sophie Turner today


however, I still can't think of her as anything but Sansa with all the crying and mumbling and fear. She needs to un-typecast herself before I can legitimately perv her.

She's in an action-comedy with Jessica Alba, Samuel L. Jackson and the girl from True Grit that opens in september. It's about a teenage assassin that goes undercover in a suburban high school or something like that. Maybe that'll help.

Last young red haired actress I saw in a high school comedy did very well for herself.

which one?

anyways, Sophie isn't a red-head. 

(anyways, why is Mary Jane always played by a blonde and gwen stacy always played by a red head in spider man movies?)

The first one, is the second something one should watch? (In Viking's response :P)

Last night's episode was one of the best of the entire show.  Aidan Gillen killed it in the scene with Lysa.

His Littlefinger character is one of the more sinister ones I have seen.

It's ok as far as sitcoms about teenagers go. Nothing special.

Emma Stone is actually blonde.

Good show this week, as usual of course. Tyrion continues to impress, as he does in the books. Dinklage does such a great job with the role. I was waiting for Littlefinger's scene with Lyssa. I think he says that Lyssa jumped or something, but I think in the books he had a couple witnesses who he coerced to coroborate his story? Sansa and another person, the bard. Sansa is still the very naive girl, even while all the nastiness has gone on around her. Kind of cool how Cersei just nonchalantly walked over the dead and addressed  the "Mountain" Gregor Clegane so casually. I'm really liking the Hound, the tough but not so crazed Clegane brother, liked him in the books too. The actor playing him does a good job. And it's always fun seeing Arya go through her paces.
