Going to be confusing for the refs if everyone has "Snow" on the back of their jersey.

Snow is for northern bastards.

A Baratheon bastard would have the surname Stone.

Here is a list:
Waters for King’s Landing and Dragonstone, Snow for the North, Pyke for the Iron Islands, Rivers for the Riverlands, Stone for the Vale, Hill for the Westerlands, Flowers for the Reach, Storm for the Stormlands and Sand for Dorne.

Depends where the bastard was born/raised I believe. Gendry's last name would be Waters I guess. If you recall from the books, Robert had a Storm (Ederic) and a Stone (a daughter whose 1st name I forget) as well, possibly others but I remember those 3.

Yea, I believe they can also take the bastard name of the lands their Mother was from.

[S4E10] Characters with the Most Lines in Game of Thrones - Total for All Seasons : gameofthrones

Some of these are way lower than I would have guessed.

Interesting that Ned still cracks the Top 10 of the series despite only appearing the 1st 9 of the series' 40 episodes.

That list reminded me that there are so many characters in the series and especially the books, so I found this little game:

Can you name the 300 characters who are most mentioned by name in the Song of Ice and Fire series? - Sporcle Games & Trivia

It might be a bit spoilerish if you complete it and get the full list (top 300) of names; the list covers all five books but the names are in no context, so if you don't recognize a name it could either be a character omitted in the TV show or a future character... your choice, still fun :)

Comic-Con: HBO Confirms New Cast Members for Game of Thrones Season 5 - ComingSoon.net

Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell: Doran Martell is the ruling lord of Dorne and older brother to the late Prince Oberyn Martell. Unlike his brother, Doran is even- tempered and deliberate. Now, all of Dorne waits to see how their lord will react to his brother’s death.

Im very much looking forward to this. Alexander Siddig was on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. He actually was supposed to be Benjamin Sisko but the producers felt he was way too young. Hes a very solid actor.

so anyway 8 months until the next season.... sheesh

Tywin dying on the shitter has all kinds of epic to it. You would expect him to be killed in battle or die in his sleep at an old age. that was fitting.

i love the scene of Varys turning around after making sure Tyrion was on the boat, hears the bells and has that ah fuck look turns back and sits calmly beside tyrions crate. just that resigned well thats it for my kings landing life stance.



I know Im a little bit late in bringing this up, but why did Varys have to get on the ship? He couldnt have snuck back in? And would he really be automatically accused? Anyway I love Varys so i hope he still has something up his sleeve.

Here are more new cast members. All but 2 of them are Dorne based characters so this can't include everyone. Don't think it's much of a spoiler to say that since Tyrion and Arya are skipping town that they will encounter some new characters but they don't appear here.


FYI - As mentioned briefly this past season (and probably in this thread somewhere) "Sand" is the bastard name from Dorne. You get 1 guess as to whose bastards these girls might be. ;) I believe their appearances were foreshadowed briefly last season as well.

Book 4 introduces a whole bunch of Dornians. Also a bunch of Ironborn. It was a tough read as learning their places in the big scheme of things required some "patience".

I'm sure I will reread it before next spring.
