Le Cygne Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think Dany was 16 at the beginning of Season 1. They had to make Dany 18 to show the nudity: They didn’t have this concept of adolescence or the teenage years. You were a child or you were an adult. And the onset of sexual maturity meant you were an adult. So I reflected that in the books. But then when you go to film it you run into people going crazy about child pornography and there’s actual laws about how you can’t depict a 13 year old having sex even if you have an 18 year old acting the part — it’s illegal in the United Kingdom. So we ended up with a 22 year old portraying an 18 year old, instead of an 18 year old portraying a 13 year old. If we decided to lose the sex we could have kept the original ages. http://shelf-life.ew.com/2011/07/12/george-martin-talks-a-dance-with-dragons/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conchobar Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 In the books, Sansa answered differently, since her name day was days away, she said almost the age she would be, in the case of show Sansa, 15. Another interesting thing, in one of the promos, Cersei calls Dany a child, and she's around 20 in the story, GRRM said she started it at 18, and it's been about 2 years. Jaime called Brienne a child in the books, too, and she was around 18 at the time. It's a relative term.This picture shows Polliver's leather as red. In the scene, when he said the King's colors, I was thinking, brown?http://i.imgur.com/WJzLUNJ.jpgThe armour still looks brown to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirl Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 According to Maisie Williams herself, she is 5ft1. She grew 1 inch in the last year. She has more than likely reached her adult height as only guys tend to grow more in their late teens. In the show they can use the 'no makeup' look to make her look slightly younger. She can probably pass for around 14/15 in the show because of the raggedy clothes and overall scruffy look. But as herself, she looks her age. It will be interesting to see how they dress her when she finally gets rid of those clothes. As for any haircuts, they aren't necessary as the show stopped trying to pass her off as a boy long ago.

Colonel Green Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't know what the value was in having her explicitly tell him later on that she's 14 Because Sansa being that young is essentially the only objection to the union that the show was willing to allow.

The Monkey Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think Dany was 16 at the beginning of Season 1. Well, Robert and Cersei's marriage was said to have lasted 17 years, which means the war probably took place 18 years before the start of the series. So that means that Dany, Jon and Robb were all 18 at the start of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknownothingjonsnow Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well, Robert and Cersei's marriage was said to have lasted 17 years, which means the was probably took place 18 years before the start of the series. So that means that Dany, Jon and Robb were all 18 at the start of the series. Do you mean 16 years? (16 years + 1 Season = 17) In the books, Dany was still in her mother's womb when she and Viserys fled Westeros. In the show, she made a comment (I believe to the Spice King) about not having been in Westeros since she was very young, so she's at least the length of Robert/Cersei's marriage prior to the start of the show + the length of Robert's Rebellion + however many months/years she was alive before that. Jon and Robb would be roughly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Because Sansa being that young is essentially the only objection to the union that the show was willing to allow. I don't know why D&D did not think that thru. Peter, just because of his personality has brought a different Tyrion to the show (I know book purists don't like that, but I am fine with it, a reader but not a purist, me). So the GOT Tyrion was disgusted with the whole forced marriage, viewed Sansa in a sympathetic light , just had a more compassionate approach to her than in the books, tho there was some of that in the books too. So drop the age thing and go with that I would buy it in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Not That Littlefinger Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 this is probably one of my favorite scenes in the show so far. i was laughing my ass off for the first half of the scene, then the fight was really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talking Hodor Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So we can assume Sandor will not be headed to the Quiet Ilse? He's destined to link up with some cunt named Hot Pie and found a restaurant chain, Colonel Sandor's Krispy Fried Chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
