People speak of height too much. On a movie set they can easily make Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson look 8' tall. The previous actors I doubt weighed anywhere near 420lbs (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is 419lbs since the original is in Stones, it's the same). I bet this dude can use a 2H Sword single handedly.
Most people have no understanding how big a guy like this is. I am sure there are some 150-170lb bro's that are really cut saying they'd have such a 'slow ass' dude in a choke in no time. Keep in mind The Rock is like 6'5" and only 260lbs. This guy only has 4" on him and weighs in at 419lbs. I would assume his 'cut' equal to The Rock would come in at still around 360-375lbs. Fucker is packing some major muscle. The only risk is it's his first acting role.
Plus when other people on the set are runts being portrayed as normal to large people (I'm looing at you Kit Harrington) a huge person can easily be portrayed as a giant in comparison.

I've read the books, but I'm answering as if I haven't (in other words, my thoughts halfway through the third book). I don't believe there are any spoilers below, but I've tagged it just in case anyone feels especially paranoid:
You have to remember that GRRM loves upsetting the normal fantasy stereotypes. There's no way that she could just be a messiah, have everyone follow her, and smoothly bring her giant ex-slave army in to conquer Westeros. Some part of the trope must, almost by definition of being a Game of Thrones character, be turned completely on its head.
Oh, I think that all makes sense and I love the push towards realism....just saying that depending on how it goes, could make for dull or tedious viewing.
a friend of mine was complaining that the ep sucked and didn't progress the story. which is exactly the opposite way i felt, it was a great ep and just set the foreshadowing for whats going to happen very well
i feel many in this thread who don't have knowledge of what is going to happen are like my friend and just lost
also some of you are just being asshole, Alky has done nothing wrong in his recent posts
I don't know after her father getting his head off, almost being raped a few times, being forcibly declothed in the throne room and Joffrey constantly trying to abuse her I don't think she has whined too much.

I know nothing of the books or anything else going forward, but I am not lost at all. I thought the episode was great and definitely progressed things that were started in prior seasons, or even closed them off to a certain degree.
