Re-reading them, I find myself yelling at the text saying..."DON'T GO NED!! DON'T DO IT! STAY AT WINTERFELL!!!"

OMG... Yes! After I re-read the first. I was soooo mad all over again! LOL! I was ranting to all who'd listen... "Aaaargh! NOW I remember why I got so mad at him and stopped reading after the 2nd book."

I wish he'd stop telling us all that there's bad news and then saying he can't tell what it is !!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely agree with you, Annie. He's risking his life saying stuff like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over on WiC there's speculation about recasting for the role of Daenarys.

Sable899 · « **Reply #443 on:** March 30, 2010, 05:49:21 PM »

I think some of the bad news may be that FX Producer Julia Frey, the person who was tweeting from the location shoots, is not returning for the full season. Also, Robert Stromberg is unlikely to be back due to his recent success with Avatar and Alice in Wonderland has left him highly in demand for big-budget filmwork.

A piece of good news is that Gemma Jackson, award-winning production designer, is returning to resume those duties after having done so for the pilot. She had not been contracted beyond the pilot. She has now signed on for the series.

A bit more info on the "bad" news:

Daenerys Casting Resumes

and extras are advised to get hairy:

Production busy looking for actors and crew

Thanks for the links. I see that the men who are extras need to stay hairy and bearded until January 2011.

ROFL... ROFL... ROFL...

the ultimate sign of making it in the nerd kingdom–our own secret language!

But... Dothraki love sonnets? Dothraki?? Love sonnets???

Lessee...

I bring you the skull of my enemy
Encrusted with his entrails
Fresh dripping blood.

No wait... that's the Klingon love sonnet. Although I'd say the Dothraki wasn't far behind.

I suspect the Dothraki sonnet would include at least one reference to mounting one's love like a stallion would a mare!

Ooohhh...

most beautiful of women,
follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.

I liken you, my darling, to a mare
harnessed to one of the great chariots of war
And would mount you like a rampaging stallion . . .

(Yes... if you didn't get where I paraphrased some of this ... Song of Songs.)

I thought it sounded familiar. Good old King Solomon, who knew he was Dothraki?

I guess that explains the vast numbers of wives and concubines...

Some scenes from the pilot will have to be reshot thanks to cast changes: HBO has confirmed that the role of an exiled noblewoman, Daenerys Targaryen, is being recast and Tamzin Merchant will not play that role in the series

Sable899 · « **Reply #458 on:** April 29, 2010, 03:03:06 PM »

I'm a bit relieved that they are recasting the Dany role. I've been watching Tamzin Merchant as the doomed Katherine Howard in The Tudors and she's really pretty dire.

shalgerson · « **Reply #459 on:** April 29, 2010, 03:41:26 PM »

, Sable

I don't think she has the chops for the role.
