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.

Is A Clash of Kings the second book?

Also, why does Stannis think he should be king if no one but Ned knew that Joffrey was illegitimate?

Is A Clash of Kings the second book?

Yeah.

1. A Game of Thrones
2. A Clash of Kings
3. A Storm of Swords
4. A Feast for Crows
5. A Dance With Dragons

6. (?)The Winds of Winter(?)

And I don't remember whether 6 used to be said to be titled "A Time of Wolves" or whether 7. is rumored to be intended to be "A Time of Wolves"

Re: Stannis. I'm vague on this, but I seem to remember that in the books, Ned got a note off to Stannis re: the problems of the succession. In the book Stannis definitely knows the question of paternity. Renly certainly knows in book and show. So the rumor has already progressed further than Cersei can contain.

Yes, I suppose if Renly knows the secret is definitely out.

:is impatient for season 2:

Yeah. Basically Cersei's conversation with Joffrey in Season 1 when he was speaking of raising a personal army and she pointed out "why would they fight for you against their home?" was on point.

At this point why is anyone who isn't a Lannister or beholden/dependent upon the Lannisters and Lannister largesse going to fight against their own interests?

However, not for nothing, the Lannisters are extremely rich, and that's not to be sneezed at.
