hey Steve the pirate, don't you have these in higher resolution?

[stevethepirate78]

@gogledoessuck Hey gogledoessuck, no. This is the resolution it was in on the website it came from. But since that was two months ago, you can probably find this video elsewhere like on the official Game of Thrones youtube.

Greggor Clagen isn't big enough. I'm disappointed. They needed to find someone like Andre the Giant.

@archacon42 Are you aware that the actor playing Clegane is seven feet tall? And super muscular? Check out his website for pics.

@stevethepirate78 in the book the character pushes nearly 8, and weighs near fourty stone..

the guy they picked though is great.. they need to hire paul wight to get anywhere near the right height heh

[stevethepirate78]

@thepissflap I'm aware of the book. The Big Show is actually the same height as Conan Stevens, no taller.

wow... the Hound's helm is amazing! Best featurette yet

[BlainePistolle]

where can i buy that sword??....

@archacon42

It's hard to find people that work well and are that size. The Mountain and the Dog are both described as unnaturally huge men, Gregor in particular. And yes as mentioned he is over 2 meters tall and very strong. I think they made the right choice. He certainly looked menacing as hell in his armor. For the most part the choices of actors are amazing. The only one I actually, visually disagree with, is Queen Cersei. She's a natural brunette and blond is just bad on her..

@Thulgore When hes walking away, and getting body blocked by the guards, its reaaaallly obvious that hes a huge guy.

[Thulgore]

@archacon42 Andre the giant at his highest supposed height was 7'4. Not that much bigger then Conan. I honestly think they got the best guy the could have. There aren't that many people 7 foot + in the world, and out of them only a few have a muscular physique. I do wish they would have pointed out how big the dude is better then they did. It doesn't help that his battle with Sandor is a dude who's 6'6 =P

to me the scales and three fin helmet of the king's gard were more conected to dragons(scales, horns) perticularly the three headed targaryan dragon(three heads=three fins). the kings gard didn't make me think of fish.

Shear em' good Tommy!

Kinda cool they gave the Armorer a cameo as the barber in the pilot episode.

@thepissflap oops, I meant to respond to archacon. Sorry.

[GentryJ20]

@thepissflap How dumb are you, seriously? Books and movies are two different mediums. Acting skill also has to be taken into consideration. Gtfo my internet, kid.

[kreeperrock]

Protip don't wreak tommy's weapons he could rip the hounds head off and pummel the mountain with his free hand.

[cotillion]

Conan won't be back for season 2 :(
