Spoiler

Best season ending I've ever seen. I knew what was coming and it still amazed me.

[close]

[Pn2501]

Yeah I knew it was coming because of that image spoiler you posted a couple pages ago, 

[Shasvre]

There's a reason it was put in a spoiler.

But yeah, Sweeper had the right idea about those.

[Pn2501]

Yeah, it's true, now the series is finished I wont be clicking on any new spoilers.

Natalie Dormer Joins Game Of Thrones Season 2 As Margery Tyrell   



    The Tudors actress Natalie Dormer has joined the cast of HBO's Game of Thrones for the second season, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

    Dormer, who played Anne Boleyn on the Showtime drama, has been added as a series regular for the epic series based on the George R.R. Martin books.

    Dormer will play Margaery Tyrell, a beautiful and shrewd woman from House Tyrell. She is set to marry King Robert's brother Renly Baratheon, in part to support his bid to take the Throne from King Joffrey.



As many of you will know, we will also be seeing Dormer as Private Lorraine in Captain America: TFA. Fans of teh show may be curious as to what Renly is doing marrying his gay lover(Loras Tyrell)'s sister. Well, as THR mention, it's all just a bit of politicking. Margaery places a fairly major role in the story from the second book on. Expect announcement for the other major players(Stannis Baratheon, Mellisandre, Jaquen Hagar etc) soon enough as the show resumes filming in July.

WWW: Are there any characters from the first book that you wish you could've got into this series that didn't make the cut?

Dan: We were so aware of the kind of choices we'd have to make, we knew we'd have to condense and cut and what-have-you, so I feel like from the beginning, one of our main jobs was to focus in on who we loved and who we didn't think we could do without, so I feel like we got most of the ones we really, really...

David: And I know Jon you're a Blackfish fan, so I apologize. But the truth is there are so many new characters coming in, so that could be confusing. Many more than characters who die in the first season. And that keeps happening, each season there are new characters coming in, and at a certain point you have to be careful because, a.) there is a budget, and b.) we have about 540 minutes to tell the entire story each season. And you can only go back and forth between so many characters before it all starts to feel so diffused that you lose track of what's going on and you lose touch with the central characters.

WWW: But next season a lot is going to happen with Bran and Rickon...

David: Oh yeah. All of the characters that you know from the first season are back in a major way it's just there are some new characters as well. That's what I'm saying, I guess, we need to make sure we have enough time to tell all these stories properly and that does mean there are certain stories that we're just not gonna touch on, certain minor plotlines or minor characters we just don't have time to give proper weight to. We'd rather not throw them in there for a 30 second cameo as opposed to spending more time with our central characters.

WWW: Season two, you hard at work on it now? What can people expect?

Dan: In Belfast, typing away, prepping away, designing away, building away...

David: Dragons, direwolves...

Dan: ...and not sleeping away.

David: Jenny, you're gonna be happy, season two is the season of the love story.
