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!](http://9gag.com/gag/aZPX48z?ref=fbp) 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. ---

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

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

> [@Biggirl](#): > > Seeing Cersei with dark hair is not nearly as jarring as seeing her genuine smile. 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. ---

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. ---

> [@blindboyard](#): > > 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. ---

Maybe a roll with her smiling is so jarring that my memory just excludes it. 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. > **[The Jungle Book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudyard_Kipling%27s_The_Jungle_Book)** > > The Jungle Book is an 1894 collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear, though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. Most stories are set in a forest in India; one place mentioned repeatedly is "Seeonee" (Seoni), in the central > state of Madhya Pradesh. > A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgl... 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. ---

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. ---
