Game of Thrones Cast looks good.
*Note: If you haven't read George R.R. Martin's book, A Game of Thrones, you may not know what I'm talking about here.*
Well, they have pretty much everyone I can think of casted for HBO's Game of Thrones, and most roles (that I can find) look pretty good, with a few that are "ehh. . . .". I'll only post the major and semi-major roles; for the minor roles go to imdb.
Eddard Stark is played by Sean Bean:

My opinion: Looks pretty good. He was good as Boromir.
Tyrion Lannister is played by Peter Dinklage (click for photo).
My opinion: I'll be honest; I wasn't certain at first. I loved Prince Caspian, but an issue I had with it was (and I admit that this is somewhat politically incorrect): the dwarves's voices were too deep. Yes, I admit it, I want my dwarves with high-pitched "Nyaa!" voices (with the sole exception of Gimli, who is more a man than any of us will ever be). Plus, I never pictured Tyrion with a deeper voice. But then I read this quote from Dinklage on his Wikipedia page, and now I know he's absolutely perfect for Tyrion; it's about his size: When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humor. You just know that it's not your problem. It's theirs.
Jaime Lannister is played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau:

My opinion: He looks perfect for this role.
Viserys Targaryen is played by Harry Lloyd:

My opinion: Again, he looks perfect for this role.
Robert Baratheon will be played by. . .Mark Addy. . .

My opinion:. . . . . .it could work. . . . .Robert is supposed to be fat and somewhat incompetent, after all. . . . it could work. . . .
Jon Snow will be played by Kit Harrington:

My opinion: He looks a little young, but from what I hear the producers were amazed by his audition, so we'll see.
Catelyn stark will be played by Jennifer Ehle:

My opinion: I don't care for this one. I never pictured Catelyn with short, blonde hair, and Ehle seems a little old to me. If they grow her hair out then maybe, but I don't know. . .
Cersei Lannister will be played by Lena Heady:

My opinion: I always pictured Cersei with red hair, but otherwise she looks perfect for the role, and her role as Leonidas's wife in 300 (I think it was her, anyway
) only excites me more (not in that way. . . ).
Robb Stark will be played by Richard Madden (click for picture).
My opinion: He looks young, but Robb is only supposed to be sixteen-ish, so we'll see.
Daenerys Targaryen will be played by Tamzin Merchant (click for picture).
My opinion: I don't know. . .she looks too. . . girly. . .if you've read the series so far then you'll understand why I feel that way. . . I just get a "damsel in distress" vibe from her when the role demands the exact opposite.
Sansa Stark will be played by Sophie Turner:

My opinion: Perfect. I just wish there wasn't a soft porn star with the same name; it made Google search quite a hassle for me. >_>
Arya Stark will be played by Maisie Williams (click for picture).
My opinion: She seems to have the same problem as Daenerys: too much "helpless girly girl" vibe going on. But then, she is a child. We'll see.
If any of these images are broken or. . .give a hotlink issue. . .please let me know.
Overall, I'd say the cast looks pretty damn good. I can't wait for this series.



Comments
The Caine series by Matthew Stover, or the Dark Elf trilogy by R.A. Salvatore, are much better. I just don't see how this book is remarkable to anyone.
