The problem with the Lesnar comparison is that while he is huge (265-285 lbs)and strong, Lesnar also moves like a man who is 205. His speed and ability to throw a fast takedown is what gave him a shot in MMA with his terrible stand up game. The Mountain is not fast he is just huge and slow

The Cleganes are a royal house. I think it's pretty silly to assume the Mountain didn't receive pretty serious sword training growing up.
Yeah... the whole point is that they AREN'T nobles. As someone said above, their father got the family promoted.

Still tho, Gregor is not just some commoner. He spent his entire life as a warrior, surrounded by professional warriors and people killing for a living. He's not just some random overly large peasant who's been conscripted, given a weapon and told to go to war. He's been on the front lines for decades and when he wasn't, he was swinging swords with the pros in the courtyard or smashing skulls in taverns or god knows where.

Do anything for that long, even if it is raping, pillaging and brutally murdering people, and you will get good at it. The particular skillet he developed may not be based on finesse or speed and he's most definitely not master like say Jaime at the sword or Loras with a mace but you can bet he knows what he's doing. Huge and aggressive is scary enough as it is; add to it a modicum of competence and you can picture why everyone is scared shitless of facing the guy.

You're right. Lesnar is more of an athletic rarity than a size rarity.

Anybody see the Sundance "Writers' Room" where the two GoT writers say they GRRM confirmed to them who Jon Snow's mother was?

When the show was pitched to GRRM, Martin asked them who they thought Jon Snow's mother was. Are you talking about that?

Should've made a picture that instead detailed when and where titty and ass scenes occurred (Attack! Attack!) and their lengths. Also boner levels to correspond.

Most surprising thing to me was Tywin only having 38 minutes of screen time. Charles Dance is such a huge and overwhelming presence it felt like more. Definitely should have gotten the supporting actor Emmy. This was his season to shine, I don't think the 2nd half of SoS has nearly as much for him to work with.

I rather liked that pic, quite interesting really. I can now calculate how much of the show's time is wasted could be edited out.

Huh, about an hour and a half. See, that is interesting.

Not sure if this will be true. He will have plenty of opportunities to shine in the trial for example, or in meetings with Oberyn.
Yeah, and he's so damn good he'll kill anything he's given. But the first half of the book gave him all those scenes with Tyrion, Cersei, and Joffrey. He was just so badass in every one of those.

Actually hopeful we'll get a few added scenes of him, don't usually want it straying from the books but he'll be gone soon.

I will be sad when he is. They need just a Lannister spin-off of the Lannister family in the years before the show maybe.
