Game of Thrones Cast Go On Holiday (with one minor spoiler)

I couldn’t figure out where to post this, since it’s just a set of amusing photos, but one of the people in the photos is apparently someone who isn’t in the series yet, so there are spoilers, therefore it’s inappropriate for the unspoiled thread. In addition, I haven’t read the books and don’t read the thread with spoilers, so couldn’t post it there. But the photos are awesome so they shoud be posted on this board somewhere.

It’s Carry On Game of Thrones!

Cersei and Oberyn are getting on very well…

Who’s not in the series yet? There are some faces I don’t recognize, but no one stands out.

Seeing Cersei with dark hair is not nearly as jarring as seeing her genuine smile.

There’s one person who I’ve read as being pegged to be a player in the next series. She’s an actress I know from Rome.

Indira Varma who plays Ellira Sand, the Martell concubine has already appeared this season.

Ah, yes, she has! Doh.

I might ask a mod to change the title then.

It’s interesting how close everyone is given how little screen time some of the actors share.

I know what you mean. I’m thinking of all the roles I know her from, and she smiles in none of them…

The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Dredd
The 300
Game of Thrones (of course)

That’s just off the top of my head. Maybe a roll with her smiling is so jarring that my memory just excludes it.

The Steve Coogan film The Probation Officer. Quite a good film. A bit formulaic. She looks good in a uniform.

Didn’t see that one. Maybe the thought of a smiling Lena Headley kept me away.

(I hope I spelled her name right)

Who is that in the Fucking Flowers cap with Loras/Finn? I thought it was Jojen at first, but he wouldn’t be with the King’s Landing crew.

Lena Headey has sort of been typecast into the unusually specific role of “Tough Mother.” In every example you listed she plays a violent mother. I suppose it’s because she plays the part pretty well. But yeah you don’t smile much when you’re a Spartan Queen telling your husband to “come back with your shield or on it” or fighting killer robots from the future or being a murderous prostitute turned gangland matriarch.

She smiled plenty when playing the female lead in the live action version of The Jungle Book. I loved that movie when I was a kid.

Also worth noting is that I think the Sarah Connor Chronicles is a rather underrated show. I own it on DVD and it has excellent rewatchability.

Strange expression throwing me off. Isn’t that Theon?

Isn’t that bloke a dwarf? Obviously I don’t mean Peter Dinklage, but the bloke next to him. Maybe he was one of the dwarfs at Joffrey’s wedding. Not exactly a big role of course, no pun intended.

I really like the ones with Tywin smiling.

That’s Alfie Allen (Theon/Reek)

And now for the musical stylings of Bronn! (He’s Jerome of Robson & Jerome in this clip.)
