LOL, there was actually a black guy cast as Xaro Xhoan Daxos, but I didn't post it because I was tired. Apparently, it caused quite a stir on some sites *coughwesteros.orgcough*.

Congrats to Peter Dinklage for winning the Emmy for "Best supporting Actor in a Drama Series". He is definitely one of the most interesting characters in the show, and the only member of the Lannister family that I like.

I am very excited about Natalie Dormer!  I loved her on The Tudors as Anne Boleyn.

So happy for Peter Dinklage about the Emmy.  He is perfect as Tyrion Lannister.
