That's Dale Dye. Besides his numerous war movie credentials (Platoon, Saving Prive Ryan, Band of Brothers, etc.) it seems he has appeared in a couple of TV shows, but none that he was a "regular" on (mostly just minor characters). I recall reading an interview with him about the 30th anniversary...

It appears that the finale episode did pretty well in the ratings (just over 3 million viewers). Should be good news for HBO. Probably unlikely (damn those bean counters) but would be nice if they received a larger budget for next season. Game of Thrones finale ratings | Inside TV | EW.com

Casting Season Two: Brienne - Winter Is Coming My favs are Miranda Hart or Eva Damen. Hart fits more to the mental image I had of Brienne when reading the books, but Eva Damen seems to have more of the warrior-training already to go. I'm not sure they will stick too closely to the homeliness of...

I couldn't watch her whole audition, it was pretty bad IMO. Out of all of the characters, I am very interested in who they find for Brienne.

There was this post from over a week ago over at winter-is-coming about Melisandre and Davos: Leaked Season 2 auditions - Winter Is Coming I haven't heard anything about Stannis (other than the lark that Gerard Butler was cast as Stannis via an IMDB edit). Right now, I'm a bit partial to Rufus...

Great finale to a great first season. The whole scene with Dany and the dragons was a masterpiece. Not sure how they are going to pull off on the same budget that they had for this year, but I have faith they'll pull it off. Now, we'll just have to be content with casting announcements and A...

Over at winteriscoming.net they do a twitter round-up after every episode. I usually get a good laugh with my coffee in reading those the next morning. I liked the one from episode (8?) where someone compared Mirri Maz Duur to Snooki in 10 years.

I imagined him in the scenario, saying to the assailant, "winter is coming...".

I agree for the most part; the episode was perhaps better served without large battle scenes. What I would have liked to have seen was Jaime going after Robb in the Whispering Wood. It could have been a whole two minute scene of Jamie cutting down Robb's men to get to him, but without a...

If you set it near Milwaukee, you can always use Haunchyville. I grew up not too far from the locale, and as all youth are prone to do when they hear of legends in their neighborhood...

I'm not sure about the house rules to achieve the end you are looking for, but are you familiar with Council of Wyrms? If not, it sounds like it may be a good source of material.

I found myself watching that scene for a third time last night, and one of the little bits that I love about it is how Robert even makes a historical remark about the (I'm assuming) Greyjoy rebellion when he says (paraphrasing here) "it's been about nine years since we've had a good fight."...

Agreed, but his words follow Arya throughout her travels and tribulations. Also, to make a big emotional impact in his upcoming stand-off, I think they need to establish a bit more of Arya and Syrio's relationship. I certainly won't disagree that the series could have used 12 or 13 episodes as...

If you have access to HBO Go, you can watch episode 7 right after watching episode 6 next week. HBO Go Will Offer 'Game of Thrones' Episode 7 A Week Early | Ology

I thought the scene between Cersei and Robert was an amazing use of creative license that brought more to the series even though it wasn't something that was in the book. Kudos to the writers and directors (and actors) for bringing us that well scripted and acted scene. One small complaint...

A good insurance policy is to make an image of your system using software such as Symantec's Ghost or an open-source (and free!) version such as Clonezilla. Back the image up to a removable drive, and when your system gets hosed, just wipe it and restore with the saved image. The downside is you...

Seemed to be more exposition of back story and history in this episode than in previous ones. Except for the Sansa scene in the throne room (with Septa Mordane), I thought it was all handled well and did an excellent job of typically showing off more about the characters in the scene as well...

Best piece of software that I've used for gaming, ever. Hands down. Thanks for your continued work on this DS.

When I heard that Dinklage was rumored to be cast for Tyrion, I went out and rented Station Agent as well. Such a great performance, and I certainly agree that you forget about his size while watching him act.

I think HBO has done a nice job on this site laying out what a viewer needs to know about the characters, houses, and lands of Westeros.
