I’m very egoistic for this game. I can never vote for three entries and I always find my entry the best. :lol: 

I know exactly what you mean. I think what feels right to each one of us is different and personal. For example, this is my choice for Yara: Melissa O'Neil.

She was not even anybodies alternate pick. She's the star of a small Canadian scify show: Dark Matter. Not a great actor, but right attitude and look for Yara/Asha in my mind.

And more funnily, aside from the locations (which are great, imo) I have consistently loved Nine Gold's casting for GOT. I guess because it is mostly so good, the occasional clunkers stand out more. And the clunkers are mostly what I've focused on here in the first half of these games, to this point. After round 5 we'll turn and start to recast some major characters that were well done (imo).

Well, I've never seen that show, so I'm not familiar with her. This is the first time I've heard of her.

Check out Dark Matter on Netflix - she's badass in that series.

May I make a humble suggestion? Maybe we don’t need 5 days for a round? Maybe 3 days would be enough? ( I mean nothing really happened for two days now)

I second that 

Okey-dokey! I did take the extra time because 3 days put us on Friday, and Saturday I thought I would have a scheduling conflict. Turned out I could have done the report yesterday, but I'd already said Sunday, so I stuck with that. Will stick to three days going forward, when I can.

Am starting work on the round 4 results now - should be up in about half an hour.

Ultimately, it needs to be what is convenient for you, HC.  Just don't feel the need to give us loads of time for picks and votes. :)

i think i watched an epi or two, but it did not stick in my brain...of course with only one active brain cell that shouldn't surprise me...

 

and i don't know why i did not think of it but this beauty would be a great yara...

Round Five nominations for  a new actor to play Olenna Tyrell (replacing Diana Rigg).

Voting on these actors is now open! Anyone can vote, even if you have not made a nomination.

1.       Judi Dench

2.      Joanna Lumley

3.      Diane Keaton

4.    Helen Mirren

5.      Angela Lansbury

6.      Maggie Smith

7.      Vanessa Redgrave

Round Six: a Twofer                                                                                                                                                            Yes, you can double your pleasure and double your votes for the Tyrell siblings, Loras and Margaery. Both have a "lazy tumble of brown curls", both good looking and affable. Margaery is played in the show by a very capable and believable Natalie Dormer, Loras by the equally passable Finn Jones. I feel as though both roles could have been better cast, though I can't think who that would be - maybe you can?

Submit a first and second choice for Margaery Tyrell, and a first and second choice for Loras Tyrell.

You will vote twice, once for each character when it is time for that. More points to be had!

 

Deadline for round five voting and round six nomination submissions: Wednesday, Oct. 17,  8 am-ish east coast time, USA. Due are nominations for Loras/Margaery Tyrell and votes on the new Olenna Tyrell.
