I'm a big fan of Crook and Kaye so I'm happy with that. The casting of Kaye particuarly implies that Thoros might have a bigger role which I'm happy with.
The only casting I dislike is the casting of Jojen. But thats purely based on look as the kid can clearly act based on Doctor Who and the whole load of other stuff he's been in, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Well. Hmmm. Lots of random faces, everyone pretty much fits, Diana Rigg wouldnt be my first choice for that role, but she's a decent choice and Tommy Sangster has the right weird look for Jojen. Only middling issue I have is that Beric is meant to be a bit younger than that actor looks, and Thoros fatter, but whatever. Crook as Orell is the outstanding choice. He'll play that well. to be fair, with what Beric goes through he probably should look older than he actually is. that kind of thing ages you. I'm guessing they're not even bothering with Hoster Tully actually being a character.

They could still announce him. They haven't announced Mance Rayder or Ramsay Snow. From winter is coming: "As if all that casting news wasn’t enough, they closed today’s Game of Thrones panel at San Diego Comic Con by announcing the season three premiere date. It debuts on March 31, 2013!" This link has pics to go with the names. winteriscoming.net/2012/07/season-three-casting-announced/#more-19314

It also apparently changes you totally, as the character appeared in a cameo in S1 and wasnt that actor! Missendei being black is interesting, aged up too. Still holding out for Strong Belwas!

Boy, the one day I don't check WiC and all Got casting news hell breaks loose.
The only two actors I'm familiar with, by name, are Diana Rigg and Tobias Menzies.

Eh, did Hoster ever actually do anything of note besides {Spoiler}hijack the plot for half a book while he died off-screen? Not a terrible spoiler, just being safe.

Not a terrible spoiler, just being safe. Nothing in the books, but there is the obvious secret {Spoiler} that Petyr managed to knock up Lysa years ago and Hoster had the baby aborted, which is why Lysa wont go see him when he's dying, and indeed, why Lysa has such sickly babies from then on.
Moon tea is made from Tansy, a plant, hence why he keeps saying the name over and over. It's never actually revealed though. I assume Petyr knows and will eventually tell Sansa, or it may just be left as something we were meant to work out that'll never be addressed in book again.

Non-readers, if Cersi pissed you off and you hated the sound of Joff's voice, you havnt seen anything yet. If they nail the queen of thorns we will have a new queen B to hate.

I'm quite Surprised that the QoT is going to be in this series, as that indicates we'll see Joff and Marge get married this season, which isn't the marriage I expected to see this coming season, and having both in one series seems like over kill

The wedding doesn't necessarily have to take place that season for the characters to start showing up and causing trouble.

That's true, even in the books they show up and spend ages chatting with Sansa and pissing off Cersei, so I suppose they could drag the whole thing out. Especially with so many other important new characters to introduce, they almost need to, just to fit everything in

Especially with so many other important new characters to introduce, they almost need to, just to fit everything in With Storm of Swords being broken up into 2 seasons, I think the way it'll be broken down is.... {Spoiler} Season 3 ending with the Red Wedding. Season 4 having Joffrey's wedding and poisoning in the last or second last episode.
Obviously parts of the story will need to be shifted and moved around, but I think that'd be how it'd go.

She kills Joffrey. I guess I always pictured her as your adorable grandma, but murderous. {Spoiler} pretty much. she has a wicked tongue but she uses it for good, and the only character she has killed (though it was Littlefinger's idea/plan) is one of the evilest characters in the series.

Iwan Rheon is one of the best young British talents out there, it's an amazing cast for the show, and even though Ramsey is less than a likeable character, I have a horrible feeling that just because I like Rheon I'm going to end up liking his character
