It might be better if he wasn't repulsed, like the rest of us, to the actress who plays Shae. Asking someone to pretend to be in love with that annoying ditz is a tall order.
Heres a video about all the new characters, its damn near 10 minutes long. It shows a lot of scenes not yet seen in previews. Good stuff.

haha yeah very late apparently. Now that I know, I can see the resemblance in a lot of the pictures out there. This for one.
These history and lore recaps are pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Tvo64yzAM&list=PL130A01AA168160A0

4. Loving these scenes. Jaime is just the ultimate troll, and he does it with panache. You get the sense he's wise to the game, but doesn't give a **** one way or another. My favorite segment of the show thus far. 5. Couldn't agree more. The actor plays him a as wide-eyed, wet-behind-the-ears mopey bland *****. He's described as clean-shaven in the books, but this guy has him wear a pseudo hipster beard. If you're gonna wear a beard, do it like Robb Stark does it, like a man. Basically all of Jon's scenes amount to him being bossed around by other, more intriguing characters. Mance has more charisma to him in 3 minutes of show-time than Jon has had in 3 seasons.
Totally agree. I never imagined Shae to look like this. And I really disliked the interaction she had with Tyrion in the 2nd episode. Just not well written. There were changes to the book elsewhere and I was fine with those.
The writers have tweaked his story line enough to make the part tough for any actor to make likeable. He bumbles from one mistake to another and it's hard to consider him a hero or leader on the show. I don't think a different actor would change that for me.
Maybe it's his boy-band look. The actor needs a liiiiiiiiiiiittle more grit. And no, not Ygritte, he's gonna get that and then some. Which reminds me: too bad you can't "pan-and-scan" a screen during a show. When Jon finally succumbs to Miss Flame-Kissed, I reeeeaally don't want to look at him in those scenes anyway (I'll be concentrating on her with a hooded expression meant for my wife, who watches the show with me), but especially with the distractions of the InXs hairdo and the bad acting. I can imagine the direction he got during the scenes: "All right, Kit, when you 'c***', just pretend you're getting stabbed. You know: cross your eyes and yell 'AAAARGH!' or something. At least have an expression of some sort. Rose, honey: just keep doing what you're doing."
At first I didn't think they were going to do it, but then they did. And it was awesome. If Herschel in The Walking Dead can be filmed without a leg on AMC, then HBO can certainly pull off Jamie having his hand cut off. "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" is a pretty ****ty song IMO.
