I could see her as Osha: http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/h/harry_potter_p...

Although, she's even shorter than Michelle Ryan (5' 5 1/2")

Perhaps the "splash" comment means she played the Lady in the Lake? That's probably a bit of a stretch, I know.

Edit: Man, people post like piranhas on this site. ;-) I didn't realize Nimueh was the Lady of the Lake. If Michelle Ryan is not Osha, I will be very surprised. I certainly didn't envision Osha being so hot, but I won't complain. :-)

SIAP, but here's a picture of the mysterious Mhaegen.

Antonia Christophers: http://www.ottopm.co.uk/Females/Antonia_Christoph...

IMO, she actually looks closer to my image of Lysa than Kate Dickie, although she's also too thin.

I have to wonder if they will use padding on Dickie. If they show anything during the breast feeding scene (which I kind of doubt), I don't see how they could.

Really excited about this one. I can't think of anyone else who would've been a better fit. Good for him!

Yerolemou actually looks very close to my mental image of Syrio, especially if I imagine him bald. Aging him up will be no problem at all. Combined with his Shakespearean background, I'm expecting him to own the role.

If they use CGI for the Others, it would be sweet if they were able to use this new technology:

This looks like it could once and for all eliminate the "woodenness" we still see in even some of the best CGI.

Also, on a side note, it looks like Peter Jackson will be directing "The Hobbit" movies after all:

13 years ago @ Winter Is Coming - Scripting Episode 5 · 12 replies · +1 points

I'm imagining the going back and forth between Dany and the Starks will be done similar to how Battlestar Galactica switched between the Galactica crew and Helo and Boomer when they were on Caprica. Or, perhaps a better example is how they switched between the Galactica crew and the Cylons.

It's been a while since I've read the first book, but isn't AGoT about 2/3 Stark content and 1/3 Dany content? I could see them taking a break from Dany for 2 episodes, but not 3. If this show makes it to the next few books, I could see it becoming a little like LOST, where there are several "main" characters, and each episode is centered around a specific character.

Perhaps they wanted to do a little post-production before allowing anyone to view the pilot?

13 years ago @ Winter Is Coming - Multi-ethnic Dothraki? · 0 replies · +1 points

I don't think having multi-ethnic Dothraki should be taken as any indication that they are going to start changing a lot of things. I would actually be surprised if they did away with the silver hair and purple eyes. It's part of what makes Dany unique. I don't see how they get rid of the dragons either (I assume you would categorize them as an "over the top fantasy element"). Without them, much would have to be changed. There would be no reason for Dany to go sit in the pyre. Without that scene, the Dothraki choosing to follow Dany would be less believable. Without the dragons, she would have no bargaining chip for the Unsullied. I'm also guessing they will be important in the future.

In short, all this says to me is that they wanted to include more minorities to appeal to a wider audience. They may end up cutting some things, but I don't think multi-ethnic Dothraki is any reason to assume that. They've always given the impression that they want to change as little as possible, and I still think that's the case.

13 years ago @ Winter Is Coming - Emilia Clarke is Daenerys · 0 replies · +1 points

I thought her acting was quite good, but that's just me. Keep in mind though, that this was a year and a half ago, and I'm guessing this was her first big role. It's reasonable to think she could have improved her skill since then.
