Sean Bean and Richard Armitage at Winterfell...I think I just fainted.

Musa, have you read the discussions at GoT sites about Sean Bean's age as compared to most readers impressions of Eddard Stark? Apparently they were pleased Sean won the part, but found it necessary to adjust their initial perceptions of both Starks age range.

Wouldn't Sir Guy assimilate beautifully at Winterfell? One of his most popular vids has 'Hungry Like the Wolf' theme song--Perfecto!;)

Yes, I love reading all the comments in the GoT blogs and fan sites. Very dedicated fans!
True, in the books Ned Stark is in his late 30's rather than 50, Sean Bean's age when he filmed the pilot. But Sean was the fan favorite for the role, and GRRM's favorite as well I think. I think it works now because the children cast are older than in the books, and makes sense because of some of the scenes. But yes, I think RA would have also been a great choice for Ned Stark.Well, the suspense is killing me...more casting news to come next week! Meantime we have Lucas North to keep us warm.

RA as Jaime Lannister would've been very unsettling. Is there a GoT dictionary on one of the websites? One of the most titilating words coined so far is 'twincest' -
encapsulates the situation, doesn't it.

GoT Dictionary? Not that I know, but if any site has one RiCrAr it would be Tower of the Hand.

Richard Armitage would have made an excellent Eddard I think. But Sean Bean is awesome so I'm not complaining!

Hey there GoT;) how did you manager to find such an outdated post at this blog?..July 2010?

I'll post your link at the lastest post. Btw, we're hoping somehow Richard Armitage can play Stannis Baratheon...he would be spectacular in that role.
