Game of Thrones Third Season (spoilers) (Page 2)

Already did

I saw a quote somewhere (EW, i think) that said this was going to be the slowest episode all season.  So I'm good with it.

Maybe I'm just being picky, but it seems a few of the characters spent the break between seasons eating.  

Arya, Sansa, Loras, and Margery all look like they gained a few pounds.  Arya looks almost too old to play that role anymore.  

Yes, you are being too picky

Figured I was.  

Also, is it just me or is the Hound the 2nd best actor in the cast?  Peter Dinklage being the best, Tywin Lannister being 3rd.

Almost all the kid actors were too old to begin with (but needed to be for obvious reasons).

Rob is supposed to be 15 - Richard Madden is 24-26

Sansa is supposed to be 11 - Sophia Turner is closer (15-17)

Arya is supposed to be 9 - her actor is 11-13

Bran is supposed to be like 6 or 7 - his actor is older than Arya's (12-14)

I can't remember how old Joffery is, but I think he's supposed to be 13 or so.  His actor just turned 20.

Hmm,

1 Tywin Lannister - His first scene dressing the stag while talking to Jaime, his scenes with Arya, the latest telling Tyrion he'll never be given Casterly Rock - the dude has amazing screen presence and is probably the closest match between character in the book and actor.

2 Tryion Lannister - Peter Dinklage is awesome. His expression as he left Tywin's chambers...there's going to be some hell to pay.

3 Balon Greyjoy - Not much screen time, but his scene with Theon about paying the iron price was impressive.

4 Eddard Stark - Hey, he's Boromir, nuff said.

5 Jorah Mormont - One of least like his description in the books and his lines are getting repetitious, but I really like the way he delivers his lines.

6 The Hound - Matches his character well and well played. I remember not being as impressed as I'd expected when his pryophobia manifested during the Battle of Blackwater.

7 Melisadre - Ok, maybe I'm just loving the accent

8 Jaime Lannister - He's more and less despicable than just about everyone thinks.

Some T-shirts I might have to get.

Danerys is fine to me; not stellar, but decent.

People I don't like:

Joffrey. Not because I hate the character, but because I don't believe him any time he's not hammering the one angry note over and over again.

Sansa. She has her moments, but again it's one note(petulance one season, depression another) without much respite.

Theon. Same idea.

Maybe it's not so much that these actors are terrible as it is that their characters don't have much depth so being mediocre is much more noticeable when the character is relatively uninteresting(to me). As an example the other direction, Jon Snow hasn't had a whole lot of emotional range, but I still enjoy the character because it's well-acted.

True. But she has no range. She's always a conniving beeyotch.

Tywin showed a warmer side with Arya. Tyrion has gone from a drunkard to a leader, to an axe-wielding combat warrior.

Even Hound showed some range going from scary dog to showing genuine concern for Sansa before he left the castle.

Then again, I guess cersei is written that way as a conniving b. she is always moaning in her thoughts about not being with Jaime or not being born a man. So maybe the character is being played accurately.

Same with Sansa.  The way 3SpokeFan described her is exactly how she is in the books.
