Fandom Congruence

When the gods of Fandom are smiling upon us, lovely things happen. In A Song of Ice and Fire, we are hard pressed to find a character whose motives and decency are rarely questioned. It’s not difficult to have great affection for the few we can find, and probably none more so than Jon Snow. The casting of the role must have been a difficult chore, but HBO’s Game of Thrones got it right. Very right.

Rarely has the film/television casting of a role been so convincing as to actually increase the admiration of a much-beloved book character. Kit Harington, a newcomer, gives the character the perfect balance of skill, modesty, and longing. Obviously, the ages of most characters in the television adaptation have been bumped up a bit, but this portrayal of Jon Snow captures his sadness at being shunned by society, and even more hurtfully by his step-mother, in a believable way. Whether he is a teen or a young man, those hurts still penetrate, and in his eyes, you feel his isolation. With the big events that will arise in the series, I can only say, “THANK YOU!” to HBO so many times for the excellent casting job they pulled off, particularly with Ned, Jon, Arya, Jaime, and Tyrion.

    Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

    If you know of any please share. Many thanks!

  5. I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought
    this post was great. I do not know who you are but
    certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

  6. My coder is trying to convince me to move to
    .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about
    a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into
    it? Any help would be really appreciated!

  7. I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be what precisely I’m
    looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content
    for yourself? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a few of
    the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome web site!

  8. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future
    but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and
    I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to
    ask!

  9. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
    1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  10. Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
    I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
    Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

  11. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d
    figured I’d ask. Would you be interested
    in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
    My site covers a lot off the same opics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you’re interested feel free to sholt me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Superb bloog by the way!
