These Anonymous Asks have MAJOR SPOILERS in the question or the response so they’re going under a cut:
Anonymous asked you:Since you’re saying “older” actresses wouldn’t fit Lyanna’s profile, what do you think of Natalie Dormer playing Margaery? She is 30, and Margaery is supposed to be 16…
I don’t think the age is quite as important with Margaery. The one area where I see it being an issue is when it comes time for her to be engaged to Tommen. I have no idea how they’re going to handle that, if at all, because she is plainly too old for him. Since Jack Gleeson is a young grown man, the age difference between them didn’t bother me much. Catherine of Aragon was five years older than Henry VIII, so a queen doesn’t have to be younger than her husband. And Natalie looks younger than her age, I think.
Anonymous asked you:How nervous are you with the how the show will handle the RW? I don’t know if you saw Oona’s tweet today, but it seems to point out that Talisa will be in attendance.
I’ve heard from some WiC sources that the RW is coming along very well, with a lot of fighting like the way it’s written. I haven’t heard anything yet about the staging of Cat and Robb’s death, but it seems that they are doing the head-swap so I think it will probably be a faithful and brutal adaptation of the book on their account. I knew Talisa would be in attendance after she tweeted that photo yesterday of her on the Iron Throne. They’re filming the RW interiors in Paint Hall where the throne is kept. I have this suspicion she’ll survive the wedding and be identified as a Lannister cousin or something, but I really don’t know. If they both die, it will be so awful and tragic.
