So now it seems Kit has finally given up and admitted he's still filming GoT.

TBF, it's impossible to keep a secret like that in this day and age. Too many cellphones and too easy to access social media. However, most people don't follow the film news, so plenty of people will be surprised when the time comes.

Looks like Jaime is in Kings Landing in Episode 6, if Watchers are right he will not reach the Riverlands until Episode 7 or 8.

Arya seems to be doing her dash from Braavos in episode 8, seems a bit late for it all to come together for the big episode 10 moment. (episode 9 being the war for the North?)

Also, I would expect Dany finally leaving Meereen to be the big bit of episode 10, the massacre of the Freys would overshadow that a bit. Have to say I'm baffled. If Watchers are right and they are both going the Riverlands, the abundance of Freys seem to suggest they are right, it seems too fast to set up Red Wedding 2: Even Redder. Unless that is the grand opening of season 7?

Why? Not saying I think the opposite, I just don't have an opinion and would be interested in your reasons for your strong opinion.

 

I think he is "too soft" - I don't know, he just does not look like a warrior / great commander for me. But so does the Euron actor IMO but maybe I'm just being a hateful bitch ...

I'm glad to see you around here again. I thought you had left the forum like KonradSmith and JackBauer24 after the Rant and Ravers folks took control of almost every single thread. You were always one of my favorite posters :)

He has played like at least two hundred badass characters in a very diverse and extensive career. Can't say if he has ever been shown with a sword, but his warrior tough guy persona is well practiced. To me he would be an interesting choice particularly because he is an extremely good looking man, which would serve to drive home the contrast between him and Sam really well, and make it instantly clear why he hates Sam and favours Dickon (played by Freddie Stroma, who is also quite good looking and IMO could pass for Roberts' son).

I also think he can probably look like an imperious uncompromising lord without too much trouble at all.

Hi! I only post in the Entertainment sub forum now, but it's nice to know we weren't forgotten :)

No, you were not, my friend. I just miss those days when Konrad Smith, Alcasinoroyale, N2tre, Iheartseverus, Sj4iy, you and others folks were all around here, speculating about the plots, commenting the sightings, the casting calls, the trailers... Everything with respect, joy and excitement, not with that vicious hate that took over the forum a few months ago.

admittedly, I have not seen too many movies/shwos w/him (last was Expendables and Dark Knight). HAHA I did not know Randyll Tarly is also know for his looks :D Question is though it Mr Roberts is free for Got or occupied w/other projects. Also he might he kinda expensive. But still, Eric Roberts would be far from being a horrible choice.

I needed a break for a while, but I've been checking in more lately. Had to step away to regain my sanity XD I also decided that I didn't want to delve too much into the spoilers since no one really knows what's going to happen after this point...but I can't wait until the trailers release and we can see some actual footage.

He is not known for his looks in the books, that isn't what I said. But it still makes sense as a possible move in the show: it could enhance the contrast between Sam and his dad.

I don't know if Roberts has been cast in any role in GOT, but there were some tweets a while back that suggested he might have been. There is a thread discussing that. Meanwhile the various roles have slowly been confirmed with no sign of Roberts, but also no mention of who our Tarly is.

So I am simply speculating here that there is a role that we know about, we don't know anything about who is filling it, and Roberts might potentially be more or less suited for it.
