Absolutely. It's just that without him and Cat I feel like the heart of the Starks, and therefore a basic tenet of the show, is gone. It's really just Jon know, and I am a big fan of Jon's (I think he and Kit get a lot of crap), I still miss Robb.

Yep. He's the one we're told to root for and will ultimately prevail because he has the just cause...except that he doesn't. And that I think is why it's so utterly devastating when he's completely removed from the game...

And I agree re him and Theon. It's funn the pictures of Alfie Allen in real life are very hit or miss IMO but in the show he looks absolutely amazing. I can buy him as a spoilt prince who truly believes that he can sleep with any girl or guy.

Today is the GOT panel at Comicon, so before the impending deluge here is a brief round-up of a couple new recent things.

Vulture on alleged plans for Season 5 filming, etc. Not really spoilerish, as I avoid those like the plague. Myrcella is rumored to be aged up. Whale Rider star Keisha Castle-Hughes and Tania Raymonde, who most know as Michael Emerson's adopted daughter on Lost but who I know best from a guest spot on Malcolm in the Middle many years ago, are both apparently up for roles as one or several of Oberyn Martell's daughters.

George R.R. Martin writes back to a 13-year-old fan who wants to help save the wolves.

In other news, Arya Stark must add another name to her list of death: Maisie Williams is not happy with British Airways.

One of the actors on Supernatural blasts airlines all the time on Twitter and at one point even put an employee's face on his Twitter (which someone must have told him was a shitty thing to do, as he deleted it fairly quickly). Maisie was restrained in comparison. Still surprised me though.

Very kind of GRRM. I do wonder how many people have more of an appreciation for wolves now because of this show.

The only thing that surprises me in the casting roundup is if

Bleeding Cool is running a report from Comicon where Sam Raimi has allegedly said they've taken meetings with Maisie Williams to play the female lead (Ellie) in the film adaptation of the hit video game The Last of Us. Which I have been meaning to play for ages.

In, uh, other Stark kids news, I guess Isaac Hempstead-Wright is out promoting his animated film The Boxtrolls.

    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.

    • When written correctly or played correctly the antagonist will often have a sizable following, although this can go too far. It's why having a balance and allowing your heroes to be called out by other characters is so important. Speaking of that, I did not realize Sonni got a lengthy montage when Michelle Forbes left, or that Pam Long was willing to showcase Sonni/Josh so much for her farewell. The care taken reminds me of when Anne Heche left AW a few years later. Given that Sonni was brought in an as interloper, it shows just how much respect the show had for Michelle's talents and how much she captivated viewers in those two years.

        Oh I think Holly gives Blake a smack in the mouth. I think it was during Liz's early days as Blake as that is when they become estranged for a good while, although I may be wrong.
