Why say "managed to procure head shots and links to profiles -- of all the new cast members" when there's only five listed yet? :P

Sumpter plays Maester Luwin, not Aemon.

I liked the idea of JCB as Royce quite a lot, but this new fella doesn't look unfitting either. Certainly somewhat different version, but fitting anyway.

Well, no. Admittedly it's obvious that WW2 influenced Tolkien while he was writing, how could it not have, but he started already before the war (though got to the juicy bits only after the war had started) and personally he was much more influenced by WW1, in which he fought and lost many a friend. WW1 was the Great War of his generation. In WW2 Tolkien only served as an air-warden (and somewhat unnecessary one, as Oxford was never much bombed). So saying that WW2 would have inspired all of modern fantasy literature is quite a misconception, and I don't think it's even a very popular one.

On topic, I think Nairn will be great. He sure has the looks, and I believe in his acting abilities too, even having seen the mediocre video before.

Has it been mentioned, maybe already long ago, that one can vote Game of Thrones as the "Most Anticipated New Show of 2010-2011 Season" in something called "Tubey Awards" by Television Without Pity: http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/tubeys/nomin...

Maybe, possibly, they thought that younger and less rugged Will would be more easily symphatised in the execution scene, making more emotional impact?

There's quite definitely Waymar Royce behind Gared, they're back-to-back and drawing swords. Interesting. Could it even be that the roles of Gared and Will have been changed so that Gared dies at the hands of Others and Will is beheaded by Ned? Don't know why they would do such a thing, but if Gared and Royce are fighting back-to-back on foot, and all we see of Will is on horseback, possibly fleeing...

On another note, it seems that Ice has a sheath that has a lifesize wolf's head on it, so that the sword is drawn from the mouth of the wolf. How epic is that?

I wondered the same thing. But maybe Starks would wrap some leather strip around the handle when going to battle, other times when its more like a ceremonial sword it would have the bare wood? Not sure if that would be convenient in any way or even possible, though.
