I think the casting is remarkably good.
There are only a couple people I am iffy on and more than a few that I think are spot on.

Theon and Benjen were exactly how I pictured them. The Starks were close. Tyrion I pictured as older and more stocky. The rest of the Lannisters were nothing like I pictured. The rest of the cast was very good with a few hits and misses here and there.

It's been a long time since I read the books, but don't Jaime and Cersei Lannister both have blonde hair?

Those are the ones I didn't particularly agree with, the Lannisters.
Cercei and Jamie seemed completely off to me. Though I think the father was fine. Tyrion I forgive because they will never find a vertically challenged actor who looks right and can act.

For some reason I always pictured the elder Lannister as looking more like Malcolm McDowell as he looked in Doomsday.
But, I agree, the actor they have is fine.
*edit* Also, some of the female cast pictures were obviously taken from portfolio or some other form of media. They were done up in such a way that it was almost impossible for me to get an impression one way or the other. Daenerys for example just looked like some pretty little girl that I'd see at the mall. Obviously that will be changed for filming, but I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them in character.
*edit* I'm also disappointed that Sean Been has been cast as Eddard. I wish he had been cast as the Dog, or Roberts brother. It's just a shame that his part won't be very large (depending on how fast they move through the story).

When I read the books I always pictured Robert as Brian Blessed (I think) when he was the king in the first season of Black Adder.

If he can't finish the series, at least we can revisit the better times.

I also wish that he would have had a more permanent part so to speak, but at the same time I feel that Sean Bean is the perfect Eddard.

Found a pic of Daenerys that is in character. Looks promising, but I see no violet eyes.

Pretty excited about this. I think the casting is pretty good but everyone has their ideas how characters look. I just pray he finishes the series

i believe he is almost entirely done with the series, and is going to release them in good timing once the tv show is on the air
i mean really, he split book 4 because it was getting too long. you have to then assume that he had most of what will be book 5 finished almost 3 years ago

He's basically been writing the final book for 10 year now, and gave us a taste of it 5 years ago.
I for one am getting tired of the man.
From his last update:
George R.R. Martin posted:
when A DANCE WITH DRAGONS is finished, I will post that news here. The moment I finish the book, I will log on and make the announcement. You guys will be the third ones to know, right after Parris and my publishers.
Until then, let me suggest that you check out HUNTER'S RUN, the new SF novel I wrote with Daniel Abraham and Gardner Dozois, and INSIDE STRAIGHT, the first volume in our new Wild Cards triad from Tor. They are not A Song of Ice and Fire, true, but I'm very proud of them both and I think a lot of you might enjoy them.
Translation: "Please stop nagging me so I can do something fun instead of finishing what I stared. Oh and by the way, buy my OTHER books so I can continue having fun!"

Aye, I'm waiting till the series is completed. I will buy the books the day they are released so I can have the first Editions of them, but won't be reading them till they are done.
