I am a massive geek. If you didn’t know that you probably won’t be reading my blog anyway. However my geekiness has scaled to new heights this week with the sheer excitement that I’m instilled with over the casting decisions of Game of Thrones season two, which, as I may have mentioned once or twice, is the best show on TV.
For those of you who haven’t cheated (like me) and started reading the George R. R. Martin books that are already in print, I won’t spoil anything by revealing plot details. What I will say is this:
- Stannis looks great
- I’m really excited about Davos, as I thought Liam Cunningham was ace in the hugely underrated “Outcasts”
- Melissandre and Ygritte both look the part, which is especially cool for me as Ygritte is one of my favourite characters
- Craster and Gilly look almost exactly as I imagined them
- Brienne is way too pretty (I hope they ugly her up)
- Balon and Asha (or whatever they’ve renamed her to) aren’t quite what I pictured, but let’s see
Oh and Margaery Tyrell’s eyes are oddly small in her head. It makes her look like a crafty ferret.
I can’t believe there’s still about six months until this is going to hit our screens. At least I have the books...nearly finished a Feast of Crows now...
