Just watched

Hi, I'm new here. Why so quiet?

I recently found somewhere to watch Sirens and Birdsong. I enjoyed Sirens though I wouldn't have heard of it if Richard wasn't in it. Pity there were only six episodes. I liked Richard's character, Captain Weir, in Birdsong. I rather dislike Eddie Redmayne so I stopped watching after Weir was killed. Wraysford found ( Read more... )

"But in the case of, say, Robb Stark - played by Richard Madden - he has more of an offscreen presence in the book, but Richard did such a fabulous job once his character came to the fore, he so commanded the screen that we realized there’s no way to talk about this guy and not have him in the show. So there are people offscreen in the book who we are going to write onscreen in the show to make sure people who viewers have fallen in love with are still there in the second season."

You have no idea how happy this quote makes me, I was worried about his possible lack off screen time, because Robb was barely in ACoK.

This quote made me happy too. Not only because Robb gets more screen time but because they praise Richard.

Since they already casted Jeyne Westerling he has to have a bigger part in the series.
Have you read the books?

I skipped all the ER parts on Birdsong and watched only those with Capt.Weir. Not a fan of ER. He seems to have only two face expressions....

Yes, I've read the books up to A Feast for Crows, which I'm nearly finished. I hope The Red Wedding won't happen this coming series already.

Not a fan of ER. He seems to have only two face expressions.... Both of them with his mouth hanging open!

I would't mind if they push back The Red Wedding til season 7 :)

I think this is where a massive deviation from the book comes in.

I agree OP, I would hope the comm would be more active, cause there has been a couple of pics of Richard and with Birdsong and everything.

Totally agree about Eddie. And really hope there's more Robb in this season.
