Chebyshov Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'd say Stark kids are safe from recasts, but characters we've spent little time with (Cersei's kids, the likes of Daario, etc.) could all replaced. We just have had so much buy-in to the Stark family since the beginning, that a recast would really be disruptive. He'll keep on Peter Brady-ing for another season, and then we'll forget. I just hope they do better in the wig department this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Not That Littlefinger Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The lord of apes, on 20 Jul 2014 - 7:16 PM, said: They are making it wrong. He looks older in show than in real-life. I think that might be a little subjective. His hair, imo, is supposed to make him seem more like a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon_Samwell_Snow Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm hope they do not recast Rickon when we see him again. Art is younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady of Butterflies Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm hope they do not recast Rickon when we see him again. Art is younger. I think they already recast Rickon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
of man and wolf Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It's good they look older and are. I'm sorry, but imagining a 15 year old Robb or Jon leading and fighting in an army seems wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeParking Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The kids all got a bump of 2-3 years from the books and it's been 2+ years in story time... Bran 12-13 (Isaac 15), Arya 13-14 (Maisie 17), Sansa 15-16 (Sophie 18), Jon 19-20 (Kit 27)... so if they just stop saying their ages, that works, too.http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Differences_between_books_and_TV_series#First_season In 408 Littlefinger stated to Royce and Waynwood that 20 years ago Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark blah blah blah rebellion, so at least 3 years must have pasted since the pilot.

ForrestFighter Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Nah, Isaac is aging how he should, all the children are getting older, Like they should :pplus he's never walking so we can't complain about how much taller he's gotten compared to the short people like Maisie Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestFighter Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah, but Dhaario was recast and he was in the end of Season 3/beginning of Season 4, so it's not like he was off camera for awhile to ease the transition. One episode he was one actor and the next episode He was a different actor. Granted, he has a small role and they had to recast him, but would it really be disastrous?Who said it wasn't? The new dude sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds of Winter blow cold Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 What do you mean the kids are getting an age up? I mean they will suddenly start saying Sansa is 18 instead of 14, & Arya will be 17, Bran will be whatever age Isaac is etc. They won't explain it, they just will do it, so that when more "mature" stories come along they can do it within the law of the UK. In other words, they will want the characters to be adults just as soon as the actors are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Eric Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I hope he's recast. Age is not that much of an issue (though he keeps on growing taller and taller) but the lad can't act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I think Tommen likey Margaery on the show, too. Not in a bonding over Ser Pounce way. The actor is 16, so I just figured he was 16. I can't buy that he's 12. And even younger if a scene in season 1 is to be believed, they said he was 8, so he'd be 10. No no no no no... Tommen can't be 16, that makes no sense. He would be the same age as Myrcella now, and her being the older is a major plot point. He would also be fit to consummate marriage as soon as it happens, and even Cersei would not be able to make an objection, which would torpedo another major plot point of season 5, Marg's virginity or lack of it, and would also make it odd that Tommen is not taking more of a role in ruling and is letting his mother run the show completely and boss him around. Not to mention that it would mean that some 6 years have passed since the pilot, which makes no sense whatsoever. Tommen is probably around 12/13 now, and it's believable enough because the actor is youthful-looking. He looks younger than Isaac. Assuming that characters are actors' age would be absurd, that would mean, for instance, that Jon and Dany are 27 even though the rebellion happened 20 years ago, or that Stannis is Robert's older brother, or that Sansa got her first period at the age of 15. I mean they will suddenly start saying Sansa is 18 instead of 14, & Arya will be 17, Bran will be whatever age Isaac is etc. They won't explain it, they just will do it, so that when more "mature" stories come along they can do it within the law of the UK. In other words, they will want the characters to be adults just as soon as the actors are. Except that would be a major plot hole - they can't suddenly be 3-4 years older when so little time has passed on the show. The Purple Wedding happened not that long after the Red Wedding, it was, what, weeks after? Then factor in everything this season - obviously, there couldn't have been so much time between Sansa arriving at the Vale and Lysa's death, and even less time between the death and LF's trial. And Tyrion certainly didn't spend 2-3 years at his trial, neither did the wildlings spend so much time preparing for the attack. Maybe they will get the chance to make it look like some time has passed during season 5, but not during season 4, which went by at a frantic pace just like ASOS. And I don't think Sansa is 14, she is 15 by now. She was 13 in the first season, so it doesn't seem likely that less than 2 years have passed since. She is 2 years older than in the show; in the book, she was 12 but just about to turn 13 ("13 when the moon turns") during her wedding. In the show, she said sh was 14 at the same time, which means she was about to turn 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 So I don't know why D&D have even mentioned ages on the show Because the ages can be kind of important at certain points. Sansa being a kid who hasn't gotten her period yet, for instance, is a major point in her development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Because the ages can be kind of important at certain points. Sansa being a kid who hasn't gotten her period yet, for instance, is a major point in her development. As if one could not figure that out for themselves. I think they should not have even brought that scene up, just proceed as if it had happened in the past without mentioning it,no impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, in 408 Littlefinger mentions that Robert's Rebellion was 20 years ago, so at least 3 years have passed since the beginning of the show.

Except, again, Sansa getting her period is a big part of her psychological development. Sansa's age is also in some respects more important in the show because it was the only reason the writers were willing to allow why Sansa being forced to marry Tyrion was bad for her.
