A Game For Thrones

After my post the other day, I just wanted to point out that I do know that the corect title of Book 4 of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is "A Feast for Crows". The reason I keep caling it "A Feast of Crows", is because all of the earlier books had an of in the title:

"A Game of Thrones"
"A Clash of Kings"
"A Storm of Swords"

I just like things to follow patterns. Maybe that's just the OCD talking...

Clashing Kings

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...
