    the trystane martell actor looks like he's right out of The Lost Boys. I'm not gonna like him. I can tell.

    At Comic Con, Jon Snow looks like a midget compared to everyone else. And he wears skinny jeans too.

    Without spoiling it ...

    How big of a role are those sand sisters ? The concept sounds cool but I don't see any of those chicks pulling off being a 2 sword wielding badass

    Wow big time actor for High Sparrow. Reminds me of the old Maester of Winterfell.

    How do we answer this without spoiling anything? I remember last year when people thought we spoiled things because we were excited about Oberyn.

    So what do you want to know?

    There is an extremely prominent Martell female in the books who it seems they may be omitting from the show. I personally can't believe they would remove this character, it would be by far the biggest omission IMO.

    If they do indeed omit the character they will probably shift some of her character details and plot elements onto one of the Sand sisters, so I'm not sure if even us book readers can tell you for sure what their plans are for the characters.

    I had not heard of the Jonathon Pryce casting for High Sparrow. PERFECT casting on that one. Very excited for season 5.

    I like Siddig El Fadil, but I pictured Doran Martell being fatter... it's not like the guy gets a lot of exercise. Siddig's a skinny guy.

    At least visually they've pulled a 180 on the portrayals of Mance and Doran, and they could've done well with swapping those actors. Doran is supposed to be around his 50s, and his physical appearance is factor to his personality.

    Not surprised at all that they brought in a big actor for high sparrow.. I suspect he will be important as the series progresses.

    Regarding Arienne Martell being left out, her story line actually spins its wheels, despite the awesome sex scene. It's easier to cut her, and use the sand snake as prominent problems for Doran, who will capture them and explain his true plan for dealing with revenge on the Usurper. I think the choice was done to save money too and time on the screen. It reduces the plotline and tightens it. This will make fans mad who liked her as a feminine balance to the story, but hey her story line isn't essential. I'm sure HBO will replace her with the sand snakes. Can't wait to see how they pull it off. The show will be a good version as well, with the snakes kidnapping the princess most likely and getting in trouble with Areo. The big questions are: who is Areo going to kill is Oakheart is out?Somthing has to go down. And which sand snake is going to present herself for the obligatory sex scene?
