GRRM's 'A Game of Thrones' Casting for HBO

The Starks look pretty awesome, save for Catelyn who looks a little like Joan Cusack to me. But Cersei and Jaime? ALL WRONG. Fuck you very much for ruining my pretteh canon incest :P

What does everyone else think of the casting?

Jaime doesn't stay pretty for that long either so it doesn't bother me that much. I'm a little more concerned about Lena Headey since I've never seen her in anything, but she is very pretty, so I'm assuming the makeup dept will make them both the gorgeous golden twins we know and love/hate.

You're right. He doesn't stay pretty for very long. My poor one-handed woobie. Oh, I'm sure you've seen Lena Headley in something. The Sarah Connor Chronicles, perhaps? Or 300? She's very pretty, I guess she just doesn't fit my image at all. But, to be fair, I said that about Michael Gambon, and I think he made a MUCH better Dumbledore than Richard Harris, so we shall see :-)

Overall, the casting has got me really excited. There's honestly no one who makes me cringe (unlike David Thewlis as Remus for example). The hardest roles are going to be the kids, esp since they're unknowns.

David Thewlis was just AWFUL for Remus. I actually lost interest in Lupin for a while after PoA.
