Apparently Lena Headey posted this on twitter last week :

Actually, she posted that on Instagram 2 months ago. Or more. She and Pedro Pascal (who plays Oberyn) have become really good friends.

 

Another good GoT fact - Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who plays Gregor Clegane, is 6'9" tall, and weighs 190kg. He is a strongman competitor, and has actually won the Strongest Man in Iceland competition.

 

And finally, Pedro did an AMA. Pretty good read! http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/26gtvt/i_am_actor_pedro_pascal_i_play_oberyn_in_game_of

 

Edit -

This Instagram post by Pedro is pretty epic as well. http://instagram.com/p/ov11YCnw-U/

Yup I love this new series. This is everything TBBT should have been, sticking to it's pilot plot. Season finale ended well despite having a shaky start. Hope it gets renewed and next season releases this week.

Regarding that GoT Episode 8...

 

 

Oberyn thought the Mountain was dead that is why he ventured so close to him and was so shocked when he gripped his leg and well...you, know..squashed him.

 

 

Just saying coz a few people were talking about why he ventured so close.

Um...

 

 

 

Oberyn clearly says he will not let Mountain die without admitting guilt. That is why he pulls the spear out.

Come on. You can't compare it with TBBT. TBBT was awesomely hilarious in starting seasons. Moreover the storyline of both shows are different.

 

In TBBT the penny and Leonard love angle was there from the very first episode. In silicone Valley the story is more centric on the guys without a love angle.

Anyways Lesse how the next season will be.

I know i am a bit late...just finished watching Indian edition of 24 and have to say, it was a fantastic episode. Hats off to Anil Kapoor.. he has done a phenominap job along with the rest of the cast.. He is without a doubt, one of our finest and most versatile actors.. Awsesome stuff!! :majesty:

 

Anyone else saw it in totality?

he is also nicknamed Thor -- cause OF COURSE HE IS.

he was a budding basket ball player before had a knee injury (ending his career in that sport) in his teens and took the totally not crazy decision of seriously lifting heavy stuff after a big joint injury..

I happened to have seen him in a vice tv episode on Giants of Iceland- the tradition of the tiny nation to churn out Strongmen competitors like it was a conveyor belt produce :P

The reason he's nicknamed Thor is mainly cause his name, "Hafþór" is pronounced Halfthor. His surname is pronounced as Beyornson

 

The literal translation of his name from Icelandic to English is Ocean Thor, Son of Bear. (Also, Thor of the Sea, Son of the Bear.) :O

Hmm.. I thought it's Thor cause he is big and hails from the Scandinavia ala Thor!!

 

Knew about the surname though.
