Oh, and the Mountain is WAY too small. I realize they had a limited pool to choose from but come on, I was expecting someone who when mounted looked like Zdeno Chara on the ice-gigantic. This guy looks barely above normal size.


You don't really see his size in this episode compared to other people. Conan Stevens is 7'1, I believe, whilst Gregor in the books is around 7'6. A noticeable difference, to be sure, but he's still the tallest person in the cast by a long shot (helped by the fact that a lot of the other tall characters, like Robert and Sandor, are shorter than in the book). They did interview taller actors, but they were pretty gangly and couldn't bulk up to the Mountain's size in time, whilst Stevens, as a bodybuilder and stuntman, was already the required shape.


Sandor's actor is 6'6", not exactly small.
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.
