6'3" tall actress added to TV series

"Game of Thrones" is an HBO series, which just finished its first season.

Gwendoline Christie has been added as a new character for next season. She is 6'3" tall and her character in the underlying book has the "strength of a man"

Has some real potential.

Oh, by the way, the series takes place maybe 1000 years ago among varying kings and kingdoms and the battles between them. Next season I expect that there will be dragons involved, based on how the first season ended. If you like that type of thing, it was pretty good, even without the new added Amazon

It is a great series. Does the first book a lot of justice. I have not read beyond the first book in the series. Anyone familiar with the series recall if Gwendoline Christie's character has any lift opportunities?

I loved the first book and am trying to resist the temptation of reading the second one. I just want to go into the second season of the tv series without knowing what happens. But that's a year away and I'm already starting to lose the fight against book 2 temptation.

They have a little person on that show.. Hopefully she lifts him a lot..

Girlfights, have you read any other books by Martin? I heard he wrote a pretty good vampire novel.

its an absolutely amazing series of books and the tv show was excellent as well, currently waiting on tenterhooks for the new book which comes out this week, the actress gwendoline christie is playing brienne who as far as i recall doesn't lift anybody but she certainly beats a load of men up, but who knows maybe they will put some lifting into the script

girlfights · July 9th, 2011, 22:36

I haven't read any of his other books yet..

p.s. - for those new to the series Amazon has the 4 books for 20 dollars (almost 1000 pages each, great deal).
