:(

Isn't the replacement like the same age? Was it based purely on acting ability?

I for one am glad we're getting a brand-new character instead of getting to see the Greyjoys. If he's anywhere near as good as Ros it'll be worth it

Rumored casting for Jeyne Poole:

ADWD spoilers	+
http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Emma_Maguire I really hope it's true and they don't change Reek's story too much. I'd be so mad if the Winterfell escape doesn't make it to the show, that was definitely one of my favorite chapters Not exactly looking forward to Ramsay/Jeyne's wedding night tho (:

Maggy:

Spoiler	+
http://watchersonthewall.com/sources-report-jodhi-may-joins-cast-game-thrones/ hope they put on a lot of makeup (: I imagined Maggy as like a 80+ year old woman so this is kinda weird to me

I really don't care in the slightest unless Spoiler + They cast Victarion Greyjoy. The series is almost dead to me already.

I care about Quentyn much more than Victarion tbh. I loved Quentyn's storyline even though I can see why they cut it out since

pretty much its only purpose in the end is to release the dragons, which can be done in much less elaborate ways

Victarion's fun/badass but kinda one-note, he's just a big brute with anger issues really

and tbh I don't think I can ever get turned off the series, no matter what weird departures it makes, and no matter how much better the books are. It's the closest thing to Lost for me since it went off-air, at least as far as how much I keep tabs on it during the offseason and read discussion about it when it's on. Plus it's probably the only medium that we'll get ASOIAF's ending in unfortunately (:

eh, I mean BB was an amazing show, and better quality than GOT or Lost, but there's not much to theorize on. GOT's plot is a lot more akin to Lost's in how dense it is
