Recently released side showcases new scene
Recently released side showcases new scene
Some very interesting information is coming out regarding the direction of this series via the casting sides. User iheartseverus of the Westeros forums has recently received updated casting sides for Daenarys and Cersei. The Daenarys side includes a scene near to the end of the book, which sounds like it plays out much like the source text. The Cersei side however is a completely new scene and one which deviates from the book quite a bit. Check it out.
Catelyn sits by Brans bedside, stroking his hand. She is wearing an old frayed robe--it is two weeks since his fall and he is in a coma. Cersei enters the room--Catelyn is a bit flustered, starts to rise, but Cersei bids her sit. Cersei stares down at Bran and says hes a handsome one, and then goes on to tell Catelyn that she (Cersei) lost her second boy, that he was a handsome black-haired baby who looked exactly like Robert, but that he succumbed to a fever. She says Robert beat his hands bloody against the stone walls and remarks thats the sort of things men do when they want to show they care. Cersei says when the Silent Sisters came for the dead child, she refused to let them take him, didnt want him down in the cold crypts, but Robert held her back and the Sisters eventually were able to take the baby away--she never saw the child again. Catelyn is stunned (me, too!!), she has never even imagined hearing such things from Cersei (me neither!!) Cersei looks down at Bran, says his color is returning and he will live. Cersei smiles at Catelyn and leaves the room. End.
Winter Is Coming: Wow, very interesting. It really looks like between the Ned and Jaime encounter in the leaked pilot script and now this added scene that they are heavily playing up the Stark vs. Lannister angle. While this new scene doesnt significantly alter the plot in any way it is quite a departure from the books. And could effect the way the viewers perceive the characters involved. What does everyone else think?
