Agreed.... the tall lanky dude from Season 2 was a terrible casting.... I honestly did not realize he was the Mountain until I had watched season 2 twice and decided to look up who he was supposed to be.

Yeah these guys are very hit or miss with their casting decisions

some are downright terrible, like Shae and Daario

others are brilliant like Tyrion, Joffrey, pretty much all the Lannisters are top tier casting choices

I don't love or hate Shae.... I am curious why you hate her casting?

I do find it interesting the actress playing her previously did hardcore porn and now plays a whore on GoT lmao

because she's one of the worst actors on this show

and she's always nagging Tyrion, like 10 minutes of every episode is filled up by her awful nagging

and she's supposed to be much prettier. Book Shae is a 19 year old beauty. Show Shae looks like a foot.

I read a description of him and thought the first casting was kinda terrible, but figured they were going for a more attractive Dario that the viewers could understand Khalessi wanting to bang.... but then they re-cast him and I figured they were going more towards the original character who looked all goofy and crazy and instead they appear to have of cast a former member of the Night's Watch.

Then again they have re-cast da Mountain twice now even though the dude is barely ever in the show and the first one seemed like a perfect representation.

exactly...the first one was dead on..how are we suppose to believe that the new mountain is older than the hound

Gotcha.... I agree lol she could certainly be prettier, but they have kind of cemented her in.

Perhaps finding a hottie willing to fool around with a little person was not so easy.... hence winding up with a former hardcore porn girl.

First one was awesome.... that whole scene where he loses the joust to Loras, and tries to kill him and then fights da Hound.... The Mountain looked and acted exactly like you would expect... then they turned him in to a tall lanky guy who kinda looked like he coulda been in Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

And now they are back to a bodybuilder lol

I think a great beauty with Tyrion would be pretty bad casting personally. After all Tyrion has had bad times all of his life so matching some great beauty with him would be questionable. Rather bed him with a skilled practitioner of the art who has had her own share of bad fortune and yet is pleasing to the eye.

As for the nagging part............. she knows how to get under his skin and lay guilt. Pretty much a typical woman.

This is an artistic representation of book Shae

she's supposed to be a great young beauty as per the source material. Men are supposed to lust after her.

Its supposed to be questionable.

The whole thing about their relationship (in the books), is that its supposed to be unrealistic and a stupid idea. Shea is not supposed to be naggy and ungrateful

As someone who read the books prior to the show, I think they enhance each other. Definitely not one of those "The books are better" situations.



Absolutely.
