Not sold on Brienne, but the rest are solid casting choices. Hype hype hype!

Brienne needs to be more homely, hopefully they'll deck her out in some make up.

--
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

So looking at more about Brienne's actress...

She's 6'4 and apparently pretty thick. I'm suddenly more sold.

Nice. That does help. I was wondering about that too.

From GRRM's blog regarding Brienne:

"Gwendoline gave a great reading, and her look was just perfect. No, when she auditioned, she did not look she does in the photo above. She came in looking... well, like Brienne."

The Melisandre they got is so much hotter than Eva Green.

I was hoping they'd go with someone unfamiliar for Melisandre because a familiar looking actress (even a very attractive one) would have taken away from the character. So I'm satisfied there.

But...uhh...Stannis...well I did always imagine him sort of gaunt, but...he looks older than Robert. O_o
Yeah I kind of was imagining something else for Stannis.

Still waiting for Blackfish casting news. Don't keep pretending the Blackfish doesn't exist, HBO.

Stannis is supposed to look older than Robert, even though he's younger. He doesn't look as stern as described but he can still pull it off.

I thought they were just changing it so he was already at Riverrun instead of the Vale of Arryn. Granted, that's just what I heard from my friend, and he could have been assuming for all I know.

And yeah, not having him in Book 4 is kinda screwy.

That's what we hoped during season 1.

Recent interview seems to suggest otherwise.

For some reason that picture looks particularly weird. Her face seems fine in her IMDB pics.

My only big concern is that they haven't found a big name to replace Sean Bean's marketability. As much as I actually prefer strong character actors in Medieval pieces over the really recognizable ones, without a face to attach a brand to, Thrones might seriously lose steam.

Problem is the story doesn't really have a single main character to replace Ned, so even if you got a new star actor, there isn't a strong lead role to give them.

Well, they could give Stannis a lot more face time.

But he's probably not the best investment.

If they did find a star actor for just one new role, I'd want it to be Davos or Melisandre over Stannis, actually.

Actually, scratch Melisandre, it's better she's an unknown. Maybe a Greyjoy or a Tyrell, then.

OR: Best solution possible would be to have a celebrity guest in as Qhorin. In that sense, the celebrity wouldn't have to spend more than a season on set, but Jon Snow gets a great actor to bounce off and the series retains its Sean Bean-led buzz.

I like this idea because I always picture Qhorin to be Liam Neeson.

I like Qhorin.

But there is no way he draws in viewers.
