Hey! I think that if it's in the show and this thread is about the show and only people that watch the show should be in the thread about the show then anything from the show can be shown.

Are you kidding...when reading the books all I thought is that Peter Dinkelage must be DYING for this to be made into a movie.

Is it possible people read the books and envisioned someone they've actually seen in other mediums in their imagination without it necessarily being a "lame Star Trek series"?
Tyrion is a dwarf and, admittedly, our imaginations might naturally use one of the few we have stored for quick access.
Dinklage has a unique style and attitude. Perhaps Tyrion is written in such a way that an association is easy?

I believe that's correct, although we may be giving it a bit too much credit.

As for the casting I've pretty much made my peace with all of the actors who've appeared so far but I'm still having a hard time with Lena Heady. When she shows up on screen I see her as the actress and not the character. I've liked her in other roles but her Cersei just isn't clicking for me.
And the Dothraki are completely ill-used in this screen adaptation but I suppose the budget only allowed for a few shaggy horses, some grass skirts, and a tube of body paint to go around.

AGENT: We have an offer for a fantasy TV series. You'd be playing a character called "The Imp."
DINKLAGE: Oh, right. I wonder what that's about.
AGENT: Actually you're going to be doing a lot of whoring around and naked women will be fawning over you in a lot of the scenes. Also, you're going to win an Emmy for being smarmy.
DINKLAGE: When do I leave for shooting again?

Dothraki are the horse people. They're essentially Mongols, and Khal Drogo is their Genghis Khan. The continent they're on now is directly west of Westeros, which is the main continent with seven kingdoms and a Wall up north, and the two continents are separated by what's called the Narrow Sea, which is basically a...narrow sea. Think medieval Europe and Asia, except with a body of water roughly equivalent to the English Channel dividing them.

I mean, it's not exactly a "random" thread that should be PG.
