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

[superdeluxe]

Charles Dance confirms basically what we already knew:

http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/game-of...ccidentally-confirms-game-of-thrones-season-4

“We’re about to start season four aren’t we? This year. We get scripts pretty early on, much earlier on than in similar series, usually you get perhaps one episode and you just have to trust that what’s going to come in subsequent episodes is going to be as good as the one you’ve got, but in this I think there are six scripts already written, and we will probably be able to see them with more than adequate time to prepare before we start shooting.”

I love how he apparently talked through the nervous panel moderator/political officer's promptings to stop publicly discussing S4. Nobody tells Tywin Lannister to shut up!

 

[Ayelbourne]

They're so gonna write him out of the show for that.

They should really humiliate him and have him die on, I dunno, the toilet or something.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Perhaps we will finally find out if Tywin Lannister does, in fact, shit gold.

 

[Captaindemotion]

^According to Tyrion's nostrils, no.

 

[SalvorHardin]

It's a shame they managed to stop him. He might have finally told us where the whores go.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Off topic, but if any of the Star Wars standalone movies should feature a younger Count Dooku, I really want Charles Dance to play him.

 

[Anwar]

One youtube comment did say something about it looked like they cloned Christopher Lee when they cast Tywin.

That would be awesome.
I've got another question. In the first Arya chapter, the kid they call The Bull is Robert's bastard who Ned saw in the Blacksmith's back at King's Landing, right?

 

[Brendan Moody]

^Yes.

 

[JD]

I thought so. I just started rewatching Season 1 and got to the scene in the Blacksmith's just a day or two after reading the Arya chapter so it was fresh in my mind.

There's also a podcast interview with Martin by Sports Illustrated. It's mostly about, well, sports, but there are some ASOIAF comparisons of possible interest, which are also transcribed at the link.

 

[Evil Twin]

Pfft, they put Highest Office Garden down in Dorne!

 

[Venardhi]

Heh, that one nagged me too.
