Forgot about Asha, too...put her above Ygritte.


The real question is how long are we gonna let Missandei hold that number one spot without showing them fun bags? :lupe:
She got naked when she seduced Gendry. She used leeches to get his blood...

No homo, of course.

This Week's Cover: 'Game of Thrones' readies its biggest, bloodiest season yet
By EW staff on Mar 19, 2014 at 9:00AM

1304-EW-cover.jpg


Power-crazed Game of Thrones despot Joffrey Baratheon sneeringly rules the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly as we go behind the scenes of the biggest, bloodiest season of the HBO fantasy hit yet.

Across 10 pages, we crash the filming of Joffrey’s long-awaited wedding in Croatia for a full week on the set. It’s the first time since the Thrones pilot that so many major characters have been together in one place and quite likely the last — season 4 has an unprecedented number of character deaths. “It’s just more intense than it ever has been,” says showrunner David Benioff. “We always before had breathing room episodes before. There’s just no relaxing this season. If we can pull this off, it will top season 3.”

What makes season 4 so intense? Bigger dragons (who are no longer listening to Daenerys “mom” Targaryen), more action (including the most epic sword-clanging battle sequence in the show’s history), bigger sets (such as a massive throne room atop an 800-foot pyramid) and darker turns (this time, it’s the “nice” characters you have to worry about). “Particularly this season, and absolutely with Ygritte, there are so many characters out for blood,” says co-star Rose Leslie.

Get the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly where we give you a handy season 4 catch-up primer, fill you in on where all your favorite characters are headed in the season premiere (which airs April 6), do a Q&A with co-star Peter Dinklage, get a first look at some cool new props (Jaime’s golden hand!) and fashion from the season, and more.

'Game of Thrones': See Jaime Lannister's new golden hand -- EXCLUSIVE
By James Hibberdon Mar 20, 2014 at 11:48AM

golden-hand.jpg


Here’s a first look at Jaime Lannister’s new appendage: A golden hand. The heavy metal bling in Lannister-themed gold has been specially designed to attach to his right wrist. As Game of Thrones fans know, the Kingslayer’s hand was brutally severed in season 3. Now that Jaime (played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is back in King’s Landing, he’s reunited with his family and given the hand by another character in the season 4 premiere, which airs April 6 on HBO. The appendage was designed by Michele Clapton and made by Thrones armor master Giampaolo Grassi. The amount of detail is pretty extraordinary for an item that’s typically only seen at a distance.

In case you missed it, check out yesterday’s scoop on the Thrones producers givingtheir opinion on George R.R. Martin’s secret ending to his saga.

'Game of Thrones': How Pedro Pascal landed season 4's coolest, sexiest new role
By James Hibberdon Mar 20, 2014 at 2:23PM

Game-of-Thrones-S4-Pedro-Pascal.jpg


Pedro Pascal was really upset. The Chilean actor was a Game of Thrones fan who previously had arcs on CBS’ The Good Wife and USA’s Graceland, but never thought he had a real chance of landing the coveted role of Oberyn Martell — a bold sexy Dornish prince seeking vengeance against the Lannister family for the rape and murder of his sister. So when Pascal taped his audition last year for the new season 4 role, he was dismayed to find his 17 script pages were full of spoilers.

“I was actually really upset the season was spoiled for me,” he recalls. “I was a true audience member of the show and when this audition came around, it still seemed unattainable. So, I put myself on tape with my [iPhone] and I sent it in. It’s impossible not to care because the writing is so good. You just kind of get into it, whether you think you have a chance for it or not.”

Then the call came. “I was really, really surprised when I heard back.”

Fans, too, were shocked by the casting (He’s too pale to play Oberyn! whined the Interwebs), but producers piled on the praise. “This is a role we were the most nervous about casting as Oberyn embodies so many characteristics,” showrunner David Benioff tells EW. “He’s a favorite character from the books, he’s got the swagger, he’s smart, he loves his family, and he’s sexual in all sorts of ways. And Pedro is just phenomenal.”

Pascal recalls: “When the announcement was made, it did scare the s–t out of me. It was like, ‘The guys love him, the girls love him, he’s the most amazing human being in the world!’ and I was like AHHHHH! Thanks a lot. Set the bar a little higher.”

Having seen the first three episodes, we can likewise assure Pascal and fans: He rocks it.

Oberyn, aka “The Red Viper” (because every Thrones character must have a cool nickname), arrives in King’s Landing in the April 6 premiere along with his similarly omni-sexual paramour Ellaria Sand (Rome‘s Indira Varma). With an affected Spanish-esque accent created by Pascal that will remind you a bit of Mandy Patinkin’s revenge-seeking Princess Bride character Inigo Montoya, the actor fearlessly pokes the Lannister lion in his quest to make the royal family pay for their wartime sins. “He just doesn’t care,” Pascal says. “He’s not calculating, he’s out here for revenge and doesn’t try to hide it at all. He goes up against Tyrion and Cersi and interestingly, he seems to be the only person who doesn’t care what Tywin thinks, or how Tywin may react to what he says or does. In fact he wants them to know what he’s here for. It’s kind of amazing.”

That said, expect Oberyn to find some sympathy from fan-favorite Tyrion. “I think he recognizes sort of a kindred spirit in Tyrion,” Pascal says. “I don’t think its hard for him to understand that obviously this guy grew up being marginalized just because of the way he was born. But still, being a Lannister, [Tyrion is] still guilty by association.”

As if all the pressure of joining one of TV’s hottest shows wasn’t enough, Pascal’s first day on the Thrones set was a hugely intimidating seven-minute crucial scene with Tyrion, who is played by Emmy-winner Peter Dinklage. “It was just intense pressure for a guy who hasn’t been on the show before, and he’s coming over and doing a brand new character and this is his first scene,” says Benioff, while fellow showrunner Dan Weiss adds: “Welcome to the show, here’s your costume, now summarize the emotional apotheosis of your character — go! … It took a long time to convince him that he actually had gotten it more than right.”

After hitting that scene, Pascal says playing in some of Thrones‘ signature sex romps was easy. “Indira and I instantly got on really well,” he says. “We just had fun with it. It was not one of the harder things to do.”
