A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Spoiler-Filled Discussion - Page 70

I am still in book 3. I have to give Martin credit. Even when I know what is going to happen (my friends have big mouths), he keeps the how very interesting.

The way Jamie's hand was cutoff was great stuff. Plus, I am really loving the Brienne and Jamie interactions. They are now with Roose Bolton.

Question - When Tywin shows Tyrion those blades he has made for Jamie and Joff, is that the remnants of Ice? (I just finished that section, and I wonder where Tywin got the steel?)

The old Bear's death was sad. But, it seems some of the Black Brothers are putting things together. It is unfortunate in that it appears no one will help them.

yeah those swords were reforged from the Stark family blade
I think later on you'll be satisfied with who ends up with one of them

Ciaran Hinds is Mance Raydar!

Wow. I love the actor, Not who I pictured for Mance, but I really like Hinds.

superdeluxe · August 17 2012, 03:47 PM

I really like this pick

Captaindemotion · August 17 2012, 03:50 PM

Slightly older than I'd have opted for but Hinds in anything can only be for the good.

Funny how a lot of people were hoping for James Purefoy, who was Marc Anthony to his Caesar in Rome.

good choice but hopefully he won't overact like he did on Political Animals.

Lonemagpie · August 17 2012, 05:24 PM

A bit old for the role, but should be good

137th Gebirg · August 17 2012, 06:21 PM

Now THAT is one hell of a pick!

Brendan Moody · August 17 2012, 07:09 PM

I think Mance is older than people realize; at his first appearance it's noted that his hair is mostly gray. Which would probably happen at a younger age in Westeros than in our world, but in appearance terms I think Hinds is about right. As George R. R. Martin once pointed out, Sean Bean is about fifteen years older than Ned Stark, but as far as the effects of the aging process, they're still arguably comparable.

Captaindemotion · August 17 2012, 08:20 PM

^Yeah, the Bean/ Stark (who is described in GOT as being 35) age gap did occur to me after I posted my previous post.

I haven't gotten to anything involving Raydar in the books, but anytime a cast member from Rome is involved in something it doesn't hurt.

Mance Rayder appears far earlier in the books than you think.

Lonemagpie · August 18 2012, 12:58 PM

I wonder how they'll handle his, er, later appearance...
