Ah, thank you.
In the book, Jon and Ghost are two of my favorite characters.

Yes, it seemed a bit much that they would introduce yet another character when there is a perfectly good one that they can use.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Contrast and compare the Littlefinger scene with Tywin Lannister dressing a stag while he talks to Jaime and completely dominates -- or for that matter, Jason Momoa delivering a really memorable speech (in a made-up language, no less) and being really electrifying doing it.
I'm also sorry to see Mark Addy gone, as long as we're praising good acting. I know him from his sweeter and more comic roles, so I'm glad to see him get to show some drama chops here.

I loved Mark Addy as Robert. He played him so well -- not a very good king, or a perfect man, but one who knows every one of his faults, and owns them. His love for Ned was genuine, and that went a long way to endearing him, too.
I also adore Charles Dance, and that scene with the stag and Jaime was just brilliantly played.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that scene with the stag
That was the craziest scene I'd witnessed on tv in a long time. It was brutal and absolutely compelling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Charles Dance was really perfect as Tywin. That casting on GoT continues to be excellent.

I finally realised Viserys was Son of Mine on Doctor Who. I want to see him play a character without a sneer now. He's got the sneer better-than-thou thing down pat.

The pictures of him without the white hair are startling. He's much better looking without.
I'd like the girl who plays Dany with her natural hair, too.
From io9: Joffrey Bieber! Heh.

I know you're not a Whovian, but the two parter in which he appears is pretty creepy and effective. And emotional. Family Nature and something of Blood. Yikes.
The fake light hair on this show is easily the worst part of the design. It always looks damaged. I know I've seen better fake hair than that on the red carpets. Or in the supermarket.
