Actually, I'm very pleased with like 90 percent of the casting. It's that 10 percent (my favourite characters, of course :P) that's bothering me; Jaime, Cersei, Sandor and Theon. I pretty much love everyone else. I am curious to see once they progress to the next book who they cast as Littlefinger. He's another favourite of mine.

I voted for Cate Blanchett for Cersei, but then I have a MAJOR crush on her. Plus, she's a terrific actress. And if they can cast Sean Bean, why not her?

Totally bookmarked your post. I love to read other peoples' thoughts on the casting :-)
