I didn't see this yesterday, but I was so happy to read about it in the Google alert that I got this morning!  HBO will have 10 episodes--I hope that Sean will be in all of them!!

The little one is just how I pictured Arya in the books.

Absolutely.  Maisie is just perfect for Arya!  I can just hear her now "Stick'em with the pointy end".  That little girl is going to be a big star by the end of the series.

10 episodes ..that's just brilliant. HBO is really something I'm looking forward to see.

Sean Bean as Eddard Stark

What does WiC think: Superb actor. Carries a lot of “geek cred” and has a significant fanbase.
What do the fans think: Excited to have a big name (and talented) actor. A few think he is too old or isn’t quite what they had in mind, looks-wise.
What do the producers think: “He was Boromir and he was Sharpe, he was terrific in both roles, and in a hundred other parts besides. I can’t imagine a better Ned.” -GRRM

I'm so glad that I subscribe to HBO.  I think this will really be something to see.  I guess that they will have a new episode each week?

That's a long filming schedule!  I couldn't remember if it had been stated before how long the episodes would be, but I see now that each one will be an hour long.  Thanks for the links.

Sounds very promising. Concidering the huge fanbase I'm sure it'll be released on DVD later.

That site started up back when they were doing the pilot and they have been "borrowing" pics from everywhere ever since.

Nice little tidbit of information from the Westeros Blog:

It also reminds us that Jeremy Woodhead, listed as make-up artist and hair designer for the pilot, has an extensive career, including major films such as The Lord of the Rings and Munich.

Hopefully, he remembered what do do about long hair and a beard on Sean so he won't look like he's got a horse's tail glued to his head.

As long as his long hair is clean, so his clothes. I guess he will look like in Black Death.

(When will he play a good looking doc again  :arrrgh:)

Oh wait there is another opportunity, he could look like Robert Aske. I wouldn't mind.

The demand for suitably hairy extras was so great that some had to be recruited from local heavy metal message boards.
