Thx Jodan! Sorry for the OT, but does any of you know how "Open ID" works? I have a Blogger account, so I should be able to log in to Open ID and comment on GRRM's blog, but... no way. I don't want to open a LiveJournal account, I have a million accounts already.

Does the term "purists" have a negative connotation? I know that I've never considered myself a "purist", I try to keep an open mind, but when it's about my fave characters I seem to convert to "purism" immediately... it was the same with Harry Potter.

Edd, thx, it was me with the mystery knight, and the way you describe it makes it look even more awesome, especially if they manage to secure a recognizable actor.

Of course we would be thoroughly spoiled before they even shot the scene, but I don't think the average HBO viewer lives on these boards day and night like we do :)

What if in Season 1 he appeared in the Whispering Woods, or elsewhere, as a kick-ass warrior in a black armour with a fish on top of his helmet? Sort of a mystery knight for the viewers (of course the characters know him).

And only in Season 2 we see his face and discover who he is.

This would cheer me up a lot after this heartbreaking piece of news ;)

Wow, it would be a stunning choice! LOST's "Desmond" can do fierce and anguished as no one else.

Since we're talking about the "not appearing yet", Michael Fassbender http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1055413/ might also be considered for the role of some younger character, such as Beric or Edmure. He was born in Germany but I think his nationality is British or Irish.

LOL, that movie looks so trashy it must be lots of fun! I mean, Don Johnson and DeNiro??? I'd like to know whether Jeff plays a bad guy, and I'm not crazy about him with a beard, but THOSE EYES. Why, oh why isn't he British?

Ah, thanks, F&B, it seems they are not so distant after all. Petyr is described with some grey in his hair, and that probably will make the situation more believable, also considering that all the adults have been "aged". Still, I like the fact that Gillen also has a youthful face: it will make his scenes with Sansa *slighly* less creepy.

That's true, good insight. So the two categories would be related in the sense that they are polar opposites. Pity that (SPOILERS) Beric is dead for good, or so it seems, and I don't see UnCat having a great future. So... if this theory is true who will be the future "good zombies"? I have suddenly a very bad feeling about Brienne.

Whoa, Anthony Andrews? I loved him as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Great suggestions everyone. I'll update my "Casting the Blackfish" page soon :)

Thanks, Stella Maris! I love Jeremy Irons, but I find him too dour for the Blackfish. It may just be me, but Brynden seems like a very cheerful person - at least on the outside, because we all know he has some painful secret inside, which adds to his charm. I can't see Jeremy laughing at Jaime the way Brynden does in AFFC. But if we DO get him I'll be happy!
