Game of Thrones Casting

[shipperx]

They've now cast several roles (Nine isn't Stannis. :(  Thomas Jefferson is...   He was good as Thomas Jefferson, though).  Anyway:

Stannis
Melisandre
Davos
Margaery
Brienne


And I can't help thinking that regardless of whether they announce it, they'll have to be casting a Ygritte and a Jeyne Westerling.

Davos was a fan favorite??? (Apparently I was the only one bored by his chapters?)

What happened to Eccleston - was it just a rumor that he was being cast in the series?

Dillian is a good choice, I think. They also cast Master Cressan - whoever he is.

I can guarantee you weren't the only one bored by Davos chapters. (It's sad when you're disappointed that a character survived a battle. Not because you hate him but because you can't quite figure out... why?)

I think Eccleston was a fandom rumor that got picked up by mainstream press... via fandom rumor.

Hee. And apparently he's still in the books as pov character, sigh. Co-worker who borrowed Clash of Kings from me - told me he was skimming Davos chapters! LOL!
(That works to an extent, except Martin hides bits of information on those chapters - so if you skim them or skip over them - you'll get lost later and go, wait, what did I miss?)

Oh well, the tv series may rememdy it - so far they've made several characters I loathed in the books, far more interesting and palatable in the tv series. Cersei amongst them.

Have come to the conclusion that I like the tv series better - perhaps being a tv series - it has to get to the point faster and not ramble? (shrugs)

Dang. It was a damn good fandom rumor!! Still waiting for The Blackfish, Edmure Tully, and Lord Balor (the guy with grey eyes whose a bit opportunistic) to be cast.
