Game of Thrones: TV Series - Season 8 (Book spoilers in tags with warning)

I think everything that happens in the series will just lead to the creation of IcyHot Cream Rub

[EireEmerald]

Look at this and tell me its not Mance.

[Soviet]

It's not Mance. When I envision him, I leave out the double chin. How the is a man like Hinds going to come off as a champion over Tormund and Magnar Whats-his-face? How are any wildlings fat?

[maxi90]

Mance is specifically described as unimpresive when compared to his more notorious men. He is more charisma and inteligence than brute force.

Do you propose that people who have lived that far north for so long are going to be slender? I'd imagine a people living that far north would mostly be short and somewhat beefier around the waste to maintain heat better. Low metabolisms too considering a weaker food supply.
But I'd say dressing this dude up in some wool and leather with a bit of makeup to make him younger and he could look formidable enough, even though that doesn't necessarily match Mance.
Basing that off these pictures of the man and doing a little imagining.

Man, I didn't see this thread before now... .

Do firearms belong in fantasy, though?

Its Fantasy.... what exactly you think that means exactly?
If they are part of the Fantasy in question, i dont see why not there arent any sort of rules, when someone is writting this stuff you know?! Save for the rules the writter inflict on himself off course

Still don't see it. I know HBO loves recasting actors from their other series, but I think going for someone who looks similar and is low-key as opposed to Caesar Hinds would've been cool. But me.

Rayder isn't from the far north originally.

[Bobz]

Rayder isn't from the far north originally.

He is actually, he was a wildling child who was rescued by the nights watch.

[Soviet]

Oh, me then. Hinds is still wrong though

[Ulyaoth]

Tormund was fat as well. Magnar was the freak really, tall and skinny with no hair.

Anyway finished the book while on vacation. Awesome book, but I can understand how the rest of the series will suck from this point on kinda. He did all the action in this.

TBH I liked ADWD. Liked seeing Volantis and such, and Tyrion's sarcastic one-liners are as good as ever. And Dany's storyline is not that bad. She repeteadly describing how hot Daario is is quite annoying though.

[Mangalore]

Hind can't play without James Purefoy as his sidekick. I so laughed my ass off when watching John Carter. Posca, Caesar, Mark Anthony were all there!

[Ulyaoth]

Dany is always annoying but sadly the best chapters really. I'm putting off reading FfC as it lacks the storylines I care about it seems(the north and Essos, I don't care much about kingslanding). Besides I'm a bit sick of Martin's writing style at this point, need a break from it.

About the show, I'm wondering how they're going to split the book in two.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

If they make the split at the red Wedding, there's really not much left to make a whole season out of unless they combine FfC stuff in, or unless they go into agonizing detail about Joffrey's wedding and the trial and do a really awesome battle at the Wall.

If they split before the red wedding, they're not ending on any big event to hang on, at least not in westeros, I guess they could make the uprising in Astapor the big ending event for Dany, and Jon getting back to the Wall and Craster's keep the big event for the North, but no big event for King's landing or Arya.

[Himster]

This has nothing to do with anything but

Ggrrrr, I saw him cycling through Dublin on Thursday, it took all of my steely will not to crush him with my car, also the car I was driving was my dad's merc, he might notice the scratches and blood stains, I could say: But I slew the despot king Geoffrey. I don't think that would fly. A man can dream though, a man can dream.

It's a rare talent that an actor can encourage such animosity. lol.

[Derbiean]

Like Hinds think he's terrific actor and pleased he's joining Game of Thrones, having not read the books I'm unfamiliar with the character he will be portraying so if i may ask is it a significant role in this series or just part of a side story?

[Ulyaoth]

Very significant role. He's king beyond the wall, basically elected ruler of the wildlings, and will figure somewhat prominently.

[Kamos]

If I recall right he doesn't get all that much face time despite his importance however.
