Not suprised they won gold if it was for the opening credits. I thought they were stunning and clever.

I thought that the opening credits were well done too. Normally, I would not pay that much attention to them, if I had already seen them once, but I looked forward to seeing the credits and hearing the music each week.

Going by Ned's hair, if they had won for best hairstyling, I would have thought someone paid off the judges.

None of the hair was particularly outstanding. Then, taken into account the circumstances, it should have looked like that, so in that sense the hair was done very well.

I don't think it was supposed to look like hay (Cersai and Danys) or obviously fake, with the weave of the undercap showing (Robert and Ned)!

The trouble was consistency. Some of them had short hair and just wore their own - some long hair and needed wigs. Sean's hair was long naturally in the pilot and it looked great. Then he cut it for that spate of films he did between the pilot and the filming of the series and they tried to replicate it with a wig.

Total fail, imo - the worst thing about his costume. I was not impressed with the costumes overall, beyond the mixing of 'culture' (the Asian/Roman/Persian/Egyptian influence stuff). They just missed the mark for me.

I agree with you lighty, his costume was a miss not a hit, but Sean's acting and strong presence always win's over the audience.
Even when he's standing under a bad wig!! Or is a few pounds heavier!!

Has Sean shrunk? Mark Addy is 5'10.5 in / 179 cm.

Sean is supposed to be the same height, isn't he? He looks a full inch shorter, even taking his posture into consideration!

I may have to start believing those folks who claim he's really shorter than he looks . . .

If you look at the tilts of their heads it makes sense that it looks that way. In other pics of them posing next to each other, the height difference isn't so pronounced.

As long as he doesn't get shorter than me . . . I draw the line at lusting after men who can double for a coffee table.

lasue · « **Reply #1413 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:58:29 PM »

That's the way I feel too Lighty!!! I'm 5 ft. 6'' so he's still taller than me.

moonflower · « **Reply #1414 on:** September 20, 2011, 02:15:45 PM »

Maybe Mark Addy is wearing shoes with thick heels.

Since I'm a fairly short person, Sean would have to lose several inches to be shorter than me, so I think I'm safe in that regard.

does anyone know what this hint means?...

"And while I haven’t watched the teaser for fear of ruining any of the first season’s surprises, I know a few Sean Bean-minded individuals who should enjoy the preview. Assuming, of course, that Sean Bean even made it out of the first season alive."

Maybe the guy thinks the voice-over is Sean?

We will have some idea if Sean goes to Belfast to film it, but as of now he has not. Whow knows, we will have to wait and see.

I strongly suspect that if Sean shows up in season two, it will be in flashbacks or dream sequences; he may have already filmed those.
