    seems about right, although I do think GOT is better than Boardwalk

    will this thread have plot spoilers and shit or just characters? I don't mind knowing if a character exists or whatever, but if we're gonna be discussing plot I'll just see my way out of here until I'm done the book.

    No plot spoilers. It'll be similar to the other thread before the show started
     
  8. Re: Season Two: A Clash of Kings [show fags, updated casting news, use spoiler tags]

    Boardwalk Empire just had a shit ton of hype going into it...Scorsese directing the pilot and Steve Buscemi as the lead...that's all it has going for it. I think it is a good show...but nothing compared to GOT. On another note, I think true blood became a shit tier show after season 1.

    I agree with this. 1st few episodes were decent enough because of learning who was who, figuring out what was going on and the "visual-niceness" of the first episode. latter episodes picked it up story-wise.

    Ok guys we have a problem. That might not be the date. For one March 31st is a Saturday. I originally thought it was true because it says that date on metacritic.

    Worthless sacks of shit or no, I imagined asha hot as shit and a majorly awesome tease who was a badass too.

    Always liked asha though but for the overall story
    I'm glad euron has the lead

    ...lean and long-legged, with black hair cut short, wind-chafed skin, strong sure hands, and a dirk at her belt. Her nose was too big and too sharp for her thin face, but her smile made up for it...

    Meh. They better not fuck up Melisandre though.

    Bitch is the definition of plain. I always pictured Asha as sexy in a dirty way, and for some reason with a great ass...Victarion is a badass but Euron is the shit. Fuck the rest of the Greyjoys

    Re: Season 2: A Clash of Kings [Use spoiler tags] Three new cast members!

    British actor Clive Standen, who most recently appeared in Starz’s short-lived Camelot, has let slip on Twitter that he has heard the names of three actors that will be added to the Game of Thrones cast for season two. He calls the news “massive” and reveals that one of the 3 appeared with him on Camelot, while another appeared in some other Arthurian film or TV show. Here are the tweets:

    @CliveStanden: Just heard some massive casting news for season 2 of GOT’s…3 amazing actors (one Camelot alumnus) great choices

    @CliveStanden: …Actually 2 Camelot alumni…but only one from our show

    Winter Is Coming: So who could it be? James Purefoy was in Camelot and has been praising Game of Thrones in recent interviews. Eva Green is a popular fan choice for Melisandre. Jamie Campbell-Bower has been cast once already, he was Waymar in the original pilot. Or maybe Claire Forlani? She hasn’t been brought up in any casting discussions that I know of, but she would make a great Mel.

    Re: Season 2: A Clash of Kings [Use spoiler tags] Three new cast members!

    While many of you are elbows deep in George R. R. Martin’s A Dance with Dragons, the team in Belfast is currently in full-blown pre-production mode as they ramp up for filming of season two of Game of Thrones. Filming is scheduled to start on July 25, less than two weeks away.

    We have had reports of some of the cast in Belfast now, doing table reads and probably costume fittings as well. While back in England, some of the Night’s Watch crew have been taking horse back riding lessons recently. Stark guard extras are currently being booked for work on the 25th and 26th. Sets have been erected in the Northern Ireland countryside. And those ubiquitous pink GOT signs are popping up around Belfast once again.

    like that girl as a potential Asha. Most of these people aren't supposed to be supermodels, after all.

    I really like the Stannis casting. He was Thomas Jefferson in John Adams and I can really see him nailing the brooding/stiff Stannis.

    Melissandre looks the part. So much of her, for me, will come down to how she talks and moves, though, so we'll have to wait and see.
