New Ron Donachie Interview →
wicnet:
We don’t see enough interviews from this guy.
But sciencefiction.com has one up now.
A favorite quote from Donachie:
“When the opportunity is there I always try to go to the source material to begin with, so, as I’ve said, I read all the books before we started filming. As with all George’s characters, Rodrik is very clearly drawn, so that was the line I followed. With the scripts...

Meraki: Snobs by Julian Fellowes →
themeraki:
by Hannah
Fast-forward eighty years from Downton Abbey—what do you get? Snobs, set in circa 1990. This book has so many different cover designs: poshly dressed men and women on sleek sofas, girls in cloche hats and tailored blazers, or a cream-coloured bellboard with the label “dining room”…

What the fuck is wrong with you George?

ST: After what happened to Ned in A Game of Thrones and then Robb in A Storm of Swords, I find myself reading your books with this sort of pleasant pit of dread in my stomach.

I need someone to fancast Hizdahr zo Loraq for me.
eafiu:
He is tall and slender with flawless amber skin, his red black Ghiscari hair was shaped into wings but he eventually shaved them off to please Daenerys.
One of the fanarts I love for inspiration purposes:
Over the Sea by ~Enife.
Pleeeeeeeeease?

The housemaid's tale: Joanne Froggatt rips off her... →
however-whatever-whenever:
…as Froggatt says, “I haven’t seen the scripts yet… we started filming the new series just two days ago and we don’t really feature until later on,”
… “I have a new uniform,” she would have trilled if she was the trilling type. Instead she has an evenly modulated and attractively soft Yorkshire accent. “It’s very exciting compared to the dresses I’ve worn in the last...

boiledleather:
IGN: You being a huge fan of the books, was there anything that you had to let go of, or write out of the season, that was painful?
Benioff: Well, some of the things we’re kind of putting off and delaying instead of just letting them go. With the first season we were pretty much more or less able to adapt the novel Game of Thrones. But going forward we’re thinking of the TV...

NUG-ON-A-STICK: Michelle Fairley interview →
nugonastick:
Interesting things: - Michelle Fairley appears unaware of the Cat hate in the fandom. - She acknowledges that some of Cat’s actions may have been selfish and that she’s got blinkers on and she may be somewhat short-sighted… but also that she comes from a good place. Damn, that kind of…

Alfie Allen interview from SciFiNow →
wicnet:
Fury: I particularly like this quote-
“The girl who plays my sister is amazing, she’s really, really good and a really cool girl. In terms of playing him as character, it was good to find similarities – and don’t ask what they are, please! – between you and the character, and it was a journey playing it.”
