There are a few sensible candidates for who that could be, in terms of characters from the books. Or maybe she comes up directly in the first book and someone knows for sure. I expect we'll get her name dropped pretty soon, one way or another.


Actually seeing her next to the others makes her look quite a bit more imposing to me, she has a nice width and sense of physical power. Bobbie in the books is basically describe as having a nearly John Cena-level physique, just on a woman, so seeing that she'd absolutely tower over Naomi (for example) fits for me.

There was a rumour that they originally wanted Gwendolin Christie for the part.

The actress they have was a boxer, and pretty physically huge, I like that they did the arm wrestling scene to emphasise it.

Avasarala sassing people continues to be the highlight of this show.

Amos in general being a decent second.

Holden reminds me a lot of Seth Bullock from Deadwood. He's single-minded and boring but at the same time you don't know how far he's going to take "doing the right thing" to the point that he's a ticking time-bomb.

Now that he's given up hunting for white walkers I don't know what his motivation's going to be.

If only Holdens actor could manage a hundredth of the simmering cauldron of barely contained rage that was Seth Bullock. That speech in the last episode was a step in the right direction though.

Amose and Avarsala continue to be the best, Bobbie is actually growing on me as well.

Because that's a really regular thing you do when you picking up something awkward with your fingers? I guess it's a tall person thing?

Yeah, I'm a lanky gently caress and do this all the time.
