Amy Joyce Hastings was excellent. It's too bad that it sounds as if they're looking for someone else now, someone more exotic.

It's probably too much to hope for, but I hope Ms. Hastings is used in another role, then. Ideally Margerey Tyrell; perhaps Arianne, although then we'd have to wait years to see her. Maybe Jeyne Poole's part gets larger as time goes on? This actress gave Doreah so much warmth and depth in so little time, intelligence and poise.

Bear McCreary has done some excellent work on Human Target as well. I think that he's up for an Emmy for his work on that show.

It's been too long since I've read AFFC, and I had forgotten those details. On the other hand, I can see Bronn making a joke out of a more genuine motive too.

A guy who just served Tyrion until something better came along -- and named his firstborn son after him too. Bronn grew on GRRM and while I always thought of Bronn as a secondary character, I wouldn't be all that surprised if someday he becomes a POV character; there aren't all that many good candidates for that in King's Landing, and Bronn could make a good one.

Sir John Standing would be a tremendous addition. He could play young enough to do Tywin, I think, but I would have a hard time expecting him to do such a minor role as Arryn. Although when I think of John Standing, I think I'll always think first of his role as Sydney Godolphin in The First Churchills. To this day I can see him breaking that white rod.

Being an American, I know that most of my countrymen will have no idea just how far back the rivalry between the Dutch and the Spanish is. It's nice to see that these days it's such an amicable one.

There are vaguely Dutch and Spanish analogs in the World of Ice and Fire, to bring this a little bit back to on point.

The easiest way to expand Jory's role would be shooting the scene where he helps Arya drive off Nymeria, and giving them both lines. It's something that the audience needs to see happen, and Arya can use more early screen time too. It also gives Jory someone to talk to aside from Ned.

There could also be a scene, probably brief, with Jory, Ser Rodrik, and Beth, sometime at Winterfell before Jory departs, to establish them as a family and perhaps to clear up the possibly unexpected nature of their family relationships.

Supposedly Jory was not included in the original shoot of the pilot. Hopefully he will appear, with lines, in the reshoot for the first episode.

The occasion which first comes to my mind is the Lannister council of war after Jamie has been taken, toward the end of AGoT Gregor is aggressively questioning the man who is reporting the events of the battle, and explaining how you instruct scouts to report in an accurate manner. In a way he takes the opposite point of view from the marginally coherent Ser Harys Swyft, and comes off much better than the future Hand of the King does in that discussion.

I just posted the news item to my FaceBook page, which several members of the Comic-Con Committee will see; I used to be on the committee (even did Programming one year while we were still back at C-PAC) and I live half a block from the Comic-Con office. This is just an educated guess, but I'd be shocked if the con wouldn't be delighted to show such a trailer during half-time at the Masquerade, to give it the widest possible audience.

Yeah, I'll be at the con, though I may have to work during part of it. So, WiC, call on me if you'd like to.

And in 30 years, when they do the remake, they should set aside considerations of height from the novel in order to cast Conan as Ser Baristan Selmy.
