  1. Welcome back ?

    If you want to get back into your old "clothes" (highly advisable considering the Points System I'm going to unveil soon) then I'm sure SD will be able to help you.

  2. Maria Doyle Kennedy (who plays Ila, the Tinker lady), is the lead in a new South African series. (I'm South African, in case anyone wondered :P)

    She plays Tannie Maria (Aunty Maria), a food writer turning agony aunt in a small town.

    I just watched the 1st episode of this, and it was quite charming. The sound was a bit bad here and there, to the point where we couldn't understand what people were saying (especially on the local people speaking my own language!), which is a letdown.

     

    Apparently the rest of you will be able to see it in September, if anyone's interested.

    FYI, we are just slightly more excited than you are --- and that is because you are here with us.

     

    Welcome!

     

    Aawwww aint he the cutest?? ?

     

    But I agree - it's awesome to have you here, Katherine!

    So who/what made you cave?

    Also, do you have any favourite characters or groups from the books?

    Not wigs, necessarily.  Hair dye works just as well.  They already made Rosamund Pike hair dark brown as Moiraine.

     

    She wears a wig. It's noticeable to me, which is off-putting, but not as bad as the dreadful blonde wigs and die jobs of other British series, like GoT.

    Two of the most famous female characters in recent blockbuster TV fantasy are Cersei Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen.  Both characters are blonde, with Daeneryes being nearly pure-white in hair color.

     

    Oh Light I hope they don't go the terrible wigs route!

    It wouldn't be at all surprising - even if Rafe keeps to her description - to see a blonde or redhead cast as Lanfear. 

     

    I don't think it matters all that much what her colouring or even ethnicity is - as long as she is uniquely striking and beautiful.

  6. Lanfear should be unique - striking - breathtaking - absolutely one of a kind. And also have "perfect" ... ie very symmetrical features? That at least is how Loial describes her. 

    Angelina Jolie has always been my choice for her, but I think she's a bit too old for that specific role now.

    I would love to see who people think can live up to her.

    For now I'm still half way the second book, I know it is only at the beginning, but as much I'd like to go faster and read, finish everything tomorrow, I don't like the feeling when I finish something, you know that nostalgia...

     

    I know exactly what you mean! End of book or series depression ... lol ...

     

    Anyhoo, welcome to DM - I hope you will have a lovely time here, with people who also love the WoT. I too don't have any friends who are into it, so I was very glad to find Dragonmount ?
