Seriously? Lena Headey as Cersei?
I have to admit I’ve never thought of it, but hot damn. If they make her a believable blond I’ll have a great time looking in those green eyes! I just hope I can forget about her as Sarah Connor. 
The HBO Game of Thrones series is going to kick so much ass. Sean Bean as Ned is perfect, I can even get to accept Jaime, I think… and so far I’ve been really impressed with the casting and the lines of script I’ve read so far. I’m so curious if this is going to be how I imagined it. I guess this is for me what the movie adaptation from Lord of the Rings (which I just finished watching the extended edition DVDs of yesterday, interestingly enough) was for friends of mine. LOTR was never really my thing, because Tolkien’s poetic writing style was too longwinded for me. But I loved A Song Of Ice And Fire from the first letter on, and its characters and its twists and turns have left me breathless. So yeah, I’m totally stoked! *dances*
Hard to say where it’s lacking, but… no. Wouldn’t have been my choice.
Have you seen Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? She’ll be great as Cersei- she’s a perfect mix of the motherly instincts with severe cases of the crazies. I’ll have to see her as a passionate lover, but sources say she does that very well too
I’ve seen the Chronicles. She just doesn’t fit my idea of Cercei… which will always be a problem with turning a book into a film or series.
I think she’ll surprise you
