H-Dreamer Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 She is his mother and we all love the shining young king, don't we? so how can we not find his cautious and nitpicking old mother annoying. :D Just like our own parents annoy us at times. Additionally he is the son of his father, while Catelyn actually understands how politics really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 On a side note, german metal band Blind Guardian wrote two songs referring to "song of ice and fire" last year. "War of Thrones" and "A Voice in the Dark", which is a song about Bran Stark. While the first one is rather boring, the second one is great in my ears :D So far i noticed no spoilers in these songs, as Bran started having visions in GoT. But if you click the following link, be aware to not read the comments, you know youtube, some people always spoiler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv4_FJPgnHY&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 @Rome I think her chapters exist mainly to follow Robb, without making him a PoV character. Never really knew why Martin preferred Cat over Robb, propably because she was around in GoT and he didn't want another Stark-PoV character. As Robb is becoming more independent from his mother every day, she is often left somewhere which makes her chapters boring in comparison. Cause the action is always somewhere else. I think Martin chose not to include Robb as a POV character because he doesn't really have a very interesting role in the entire story, except for his role as commander and King of the North. He hasn't done much other than that, and what he's done politically was done in Cat Stark's presence. Catelyn Stark imo has a much more involved political role in the story, for example the Brienne storyline amongst others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well that was Martins choice, wasn't? :D But as the story is, you're obviously right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Tyrion is so freaking awesome. I love every little quip he makes at Cersei. He's more fit to be a fox than a lion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Parts of the cast (Dany, Jaime, Cersei, Tyrion, Jon and Khal Drogo) at Comiccon in San Diego: (it's an hour of talk, so only if you have the time :D, btw curse those accents :D) Edit: Really worth watching, though I didn't understood everything due to accents and crowd noise. Jason Mormoa really dominated the whiole thing, but it was also nice to hear about a certain point in Storm of Swords (Vol.3) and that the writers target that point for now (as it would mean a third season), while Martin plans to be in a country without TVs at that point. :D (Not really a spoiler, especially if you watched the video, but someone might say it's a hint of the direction things take, so I set the marks anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 http://www.accesshollywood.com/news/theon-greyjoy-gets-a-sister-and-daenerys-gets-an-adviser-in-game-of-thrones-season-2_article_51531 The part of Asha Greyjoy will be played by Gemma Whelan, who appeared in 2010’s Benicio Del Toro film “The Wolfman,” Access Hollywood has confirmed. As producers first confirmed to Access Hollywood at Comic-Con, Asha is being renamed. Asha will now be called Yara Greyjoy. And on the other side of the Westeros world, a new member of Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) camp has been cast. As first reported by Westeros.Org, British actor Nonso Anozie will play Xaro Xhoan Daxos, a wealthy merchant who takes in Daenerys, the members of her khalasar (the Dothraki that stuck with her after the death of husband Khal Drogo), and her knight, Ser Jorah Mormont (Iain Glenn), and becomes an adviser of sorts. Coincidentally, Nonso actually stars as Artus in “Conan The Barbarian,” alongside Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo). That film opens in theaters on August 19.
