I always pictured Mance a Scottish looking guy. More like a Mel Gibson in brave heart.......the guy who played Mcloud in the first Hilander movie.

all i know is that Mance needs a certain roguish playfulness to him.

i was secretly hoping to see this guy casted as Mance, Robert Carlyle

HBO BRING BACK SHOW NOW PLZ. CANT WAIT ANY LONGER.

red wedding. that whole part of the book is either going to be done amazing, or fucked up royally. (most likely the first part)

does anyone know if they are splitting SoS into 2 seasons? or just one giant season? or condensing it or what?

the guys at HBO said season 3 is the season they have been waiting for since the show started. they know its everyones favorite book.

that said, the book will be split into two 10 episode seasons.

Season 3, Episode 9 will be the red wedding. Episode 10 will be the hound and Arya getting away from the twins and embarking on their BFF journey, and of course putting a nice lil bow on things til season 4.

theres a link somewhere in this thread you can find to verify the above infos im giving you is true [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guarantee they won't fuck up the red wedding, or any part of book three for that matter.

for evidence i simply point to the first two seasons - there was plenty of opportunity to ruin all kinds of shit, and i don't think they fucked a single thing up (that whole scene with dany and the dragons and drogo could *easily* have been a massive fuckup).

These guys know what they are doing, and i dont see them dropping the ball anytime soon. Not only do they have a *massive* budget (they're going to spend more money on this series than probably any other ever created), but they have a fantastic crew. I am really, really excited to see what they do with books 4 and 5 (and even more excited to see what Martin does with the end of the series............................................ .................................................. .................................................. ...... if he finishes it before he dies)

I think there were numerous things changed that were a detriment to the story, but primarily, they really sucked something terrible with Arya's storyline. They completely left out a brilliant part of the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion's chain. The way they did the Jon Snow/Halfhand/Rattleshirt situation. The changes to Robb's storyline.

I will admit I'm a bit of a book purist at this point, but there's a reason. I wouldn't mind changes if they were even close to as good as they were in the books. There are some changes that I'm fine with, and even like. But so many of them are much, much worse than if they had followed the script.

refresh my memory on the Arya changes (minus a few conversations)? the chain was HUGE, i was sad they left it out, but it really doesnt effect the story if u just blow up all the boats. same with halfhand/jon, i feel the end result would be the same.

what did they change about robb besides his new wifes name and back story?

i can not wait for the QQ that follows season 3 from all the people that dont read the books, omg tears of rage incomming!

I have to agree with Sirkin that I'm disappointed they left out Ned's visions/dreams as well as many of the others. I guess I can see why it would be difficult to put them in properly but the foreshadowing of a lot of them is really cool, particularly the House of the Undying stuff. Although I think it'll be in this series that Dany does her conquering. I also think that that in the 4th series a lot of the ironborn stuff of A Feast for Crows will be included to keep the continuity easy for the show.

I watch this with a friend who hasn't read the books and he was appalled when Ned dies. The anticipation for the Red Wedding is getting unbearable.
