I hope it's not Emilia Clarke though if it was I have a feeling her recent scene wasn't her, a massive body change since Season 1

In a recent report by Tower of the Hand, an esteemed fansite for A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, it was confirmed by none other than George R.R. Martin himself that casting for season 4 of Game of Thrones has well and truly begun.

The confirmation came during a Q&A session at ConQuesT 44 in Kansas City. Notes on the content of this session have been recorded on Tower of the Hand, here. The report states that:

?Auditions are being held now for season 4 ? including the Magnar, Mace Tyrell and OBERYN MARTELL!!?

I have only watched the first season and part of the second, starting next week our weekly show night/ game night, we will start watching Game of Thrones now that Doctor Who is over.

I'd stay out the thread :p

Yeah I thought the same, body double!

I thought certain shots were a double which makes no sense.

why didn't it make sense?

:wacko:

The one that looked like her was the most revealing. If you're going to do one, do the whole thing.

The double definitely does not have her butt, which was quite memorable from season 1. :D

'Game of Thrones' is casting new characters for season 4

Game of Thrones' cast is like the mythical hydra: for every character they kill off, two more pop up the next season. It's looking like that'll be the case for the show's fourth season, which airs next year; Game of Thrones is already casting new characters, according to creator George R.R. Martin.

At a recent fan convention, Martin named off several new faces who would be joining the series in 2014 (mild spoilers follow).

Auditions are currently being held for the roles of Styr the Magnar of Thenn, Mace Tyrell, and Oberyn Martell. Don't read the books/have forgotten who those characters are? Here's a quick rundown for you:

Styr the Magnar of Thenn is a wildling leader allied with Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds). Styr's role in the books has largely been replaced in the series by Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), so bringing in the character at this point means that the show is continuing to deviate from its source material (not unlike the introduction of Mackenzie Crook's character Orell).

Mace Tyrell is the father of Margaery (Natalie Dormer), and is a rather incompetent and fat Lord (it's the women who control the power in House Tyrell). He'll be arriving for his daughter's wedding to Prince Joffrey, which is pretty much confirmed now to be taking place in season 4.

Oberyn Martell, also known as the Red Viper, is the fan favorite of the bunch. He comes from the southernmost part of Westeros, Dorne, and is called to sit on the King's small council as a representative. He does have an ulterior motive, for making the trip, though -- and it involves the very dangerous Ser Gregor Clegane.

What the ****. I've never been so shocked in my life.

At first, I was like...

And then, I was like...

I knew something was up when the doors closed. And when Catelyn Tully revealed the chain-mail under Roose Bolton's clothing. Even so, I thought Robb and Talisa Stark (and his mother) would get away. The shock hit me the hardest when Talisa was stabbed to death in her stomach. My goodness, I've never been this shocked even by Ned Stark's death at the end of season 1.

Wow!

Talisa's manner of death was really shocking and terrible.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
