I'm not sure if it is the casting or the writing, but she does seem 'off' versus the books, though I don't quite agree with that assessment. I think she's pretty badass in the show so far,
I was expecting a better looking older woman.
Not to derail, but is anyone else really annoyed by Catelyn Stark's casting in the show? In the books I thought she was pretty badass, and is portrayed as much prettier although tempered by hard times. The show she just seems.. annoying. Granted I'm only 3 episodes in after finishing the first two books, but I don't like her casting choice at all.
The only pure casting choice I have real issues with (and I know this will be unpopular) is Aiden Gillen as Littlefinger.
Actually agree with this as well. He seems more douchey than kind of sneakily sinnister is the only way I can think to put it.
Disagree about Tyrion casting though, I think he acts the part extremely well. Although in the book Tyrion was supposed to be very ugly, while the show version is, as midgets go, a pretty good looking dude (no homo). Don't mind the choice though.
