And his lovely paramour:

And an interview with George R.R. "finish the books already" Martin that has some spoilers for future novels if you dig deep, but really, nothing important:

I have to say, the finale of Season Three finally made me see the show as a separate entity. I love the books, but I have a new appreciation for the show. Though how they stretch things beyond the upcoming season, well, we'll see.

Oh, and another new cast member...though who he'll play is unknown:

Book Spoilers:

Spoiler

I can't imagine him as Doran so maybe Bloodraven/Brynden Rivers, the guy Bran meets from ADWD?

Cool I've been catching up on Sherlock lately.

Not really how I pictured the character really but he'll certainly give Mace an interesting look.

Isn't Mace generally regarded as a *****? I don't know how he's described in the books just yet but if he's supposed to be non-threatening, I'd say it's spot-on.

From the ASOIAF wiki....

Quote:

He is handsome and a once powerful looking man, but has since turned to fat.

But then this....

Quote:

He is a prematurely old and tedious man lacking in political savvy.

So he doesn't look like the character looked but he does look like the characters acts.

I have no clue why they're recasting Daario, and re-recasting Gregor, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
