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?

Been following it for months on winter-is-coming.blogspot.com. I'm pretty impressed- perhaps some people are a little too pretty (especially compared to some of HBO's series, The Wire in particular) but so be it.

Particularly looking forward to Peter Dinklage and Jennifer Ehle. And I'll wait until I see Lena and Nikolai all blonded up before passing judgement on their similarity...

Peter Dinklage, yes. He's PERFECT. But Nikolaj whatshisface's features are way too hard to properly pull off Jaime. I suspect I'm more than a bit biased, too. Jaime is my favourite character.

I'm kind of upset with Sean Bean as Ned. I mean, I get it's fantastic casting, but I like Sean Bean, and I don't like Ned at all.

I think a lot of things are possible with good lighting, make-up and acting. But I think I probably thought of Jaime as the post-GoT Jaime where being pretty is suddenly not his main point. Now, if they got a hard-looking Loras...

Well, on the bright side, Ned isn't around very long. Me, I could give or take him. With the exception of Sansa, the Starks are not my faves.

Speaking of Loras, did you perchance catch that picture of him I recced by Ponderosa? OMG SO PRETTEH!
