Man, it's so weird to watch Sean Bean in Sharpe* after the Game of Thrones pilot.  He's so much younger and less craggy and blonder and...uhm...thinner.

Also, may I mention that I am quite happy that the general reaction to Viserys** by people who haven't read the ASoIaF books, particularly after that one line (YOU KNOW WHICH ONE) is "OMG tell me he dies horribly!"

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised, but I've gotten so used to fandom explaining and dismissing misogynistic behavior that it's sadly a surprise when it doesn't happen.


*Uhm...I haven't enjoyed the last few too much?  Specifically, the ones with Alexis Denisoff.  Not because they have Alexis Denisof, though the plotline that involves his character is a large part of it.
**I think Viserys is a good character.  I also hate him muchly.
