I just finished Jaqen's part of the second book at Harrenhal (re-reading to hopefully finish before s2 starts). If they follow the book reasonably closely I think I lot of people will really love Jaqen and I think Wlaschiha has a chance to make a really memorable impression.

The picture in that gallery of Theon is so fucking good.

It looks like Theon seriously leveled up his badassness/doucheness factor for S2. I can't wait to see him.

Looks good!
Any word on how they will handle (ACOK)
the face changing?
In the books both him and Bran were 8 and they made Bran older on the show (10) so I'm assuming they did the same for him although it didn't seem like it in the first season.

Yeah, I think that's my favorite of the promo images. The armor, the look, etc...
There are some awesome shots of Jaime in that gallery. The armor is top notch.

Because they're not shooting Game of Thrones right now and these are just publicity photos. My question is why do they look like they're made out of plastic.
What's she doing with her mouth there?

Also: there's your Cersei, GAF.
Edit: And that wig doesn't look nearly as bad as the ones from S1.
Sign me up for the Lena Headey Defense Force.
I feel like people wanted Cersei to look like a porn star or something.

I don't want to go into the official spoilery book thread, because I'm still working on the third book, but I had a minor question that almost isn't quite a spoiler, but comes from the start of the second book. Hope it's okay to ask here:
How was it that Theon Greyjoy came to leave Robb's side? I must have missed the part where he got leave to return home in the book?

If I remember correctly, he sent Theon to try to court the Iron Islands to his side.
That's exactly what happened and
it went against what his mother told him to do.

No prob. I'm just glad I remembered it correctly, because I often find myself forgetting important plot points in past books. I guess it just happens with a series that's so dense. I don't know how anyone could keep track of absolutely everything going on in this world.

Cersei was seductive to me in the books. To use a thought from the late Patrice O'Neal, Headey portrays Cersei as a woman that indignantly looks back at you while you're hitting it from the back. Even in normal conversations there isn't that playful sort of tit for tat you got the books, its all stinkface and glaring.

People found Cersei "playful" in the books? Seriously?
If by playful, you mean that she'd like nothing more than to bite your dick off, then yeah, she's super playful.

Exactly in that sense. In a cat and mouse way. In facial expression terms I imagined more smirking and less sneering.
Seductive may be the wrong choice of word since she only has eyes for Jaime but it was an interesting mixture of always being aware of her physical looks and thinking she's more cunning than she actually is.

I never got the hate for Lena Headey, in the context of the show she's beautiful next to the other female leads and she plays Cersei to a tea in season one.
In fact I think the casting throughout was excellent. I just finished watching "The Pointy End" on the DVD and Barristan's performance throughout the court scene was immaculate. From his incredulous glance when he realised what was happening and the rage that followed it I couldn't ask for better from the actor, and the same can be said of Umber in his scenes (despite me not liking the actor in other roles). The performances from the secondary cast were all so spot on and that's laid to rest my worries over the casting in Clash.

All the casting is great... except the stable boy.

Worst part of game of thrones is Emilia Clarke's mouth.
No, the worst part is that you cannot reach through the screen and throttle Joffrey (who is excellently cast, to the point that my mother informed me that she felt bad for hating him and thinking the actor looked like somebody "whose parents really could have been related.") Also the BluRay lacks a feature to just overlay Tyrion slapping the shit out of him over every scene Joffrey is in.

The entire Lannister family struck me as smug and pompous while I read the books. The type of people that have a smirking, satisfied expression on their face while they talk *down* to you. Kind of like how Littlefinger is portrayed in the show. I never imagined Cersei having a constant stinkface while reading the books.

I did as well, but once I got to the third book Jaime became an awesome character. And Tyrion always ruled.
Good point.
Ive said this before but I think a deliberate change they made for the show is that they basically wanted the female version of Charles Dances Tywin character. And Headey does that perfectly. Afterall in the book cersei basically wishes she had a cock.
I think they tried to do the same thing with show Cersei as they did with show Catelyn. They made them both fierce mothers that care deeply about their families to juxtapose eachother. Only it works with Catelyn because she doesn't rely on her looks as much a Cersei's character did.
Didn't she even go as far as to seduce Ned in the scene where he confronts her about her kids? They took that out of the show and I think its in part because they want her to seem less reliant on her beauty and seduction.
Would be a fucking fantastic Cersei, but she doesn't look like she has had 3 kids.
Lucy Lawless would be an amazing Catelyn though.
