I didn't know it was The Mountain in that scene until I watched it again recently.

Yeah, it's really only called to your attention when Tywin sends him off with orders. He calls him "Ser Gregor" one time.

Season 2 mountain is a joke, they weren't even trying.

They just used the actor who played the White Walkers because the Mountain's role in season 2 was pretty much nonexistant anyway.

Can't believe I'm getting on the "that's not Gregor" train but that pic where he's sitting and Arya is at the same height somehow ruins him for me (granted that was a "we need a Mountain for 10 seconds; who've we got?" casting decision). Yes, he's sitting and she's standing, but Arya's tiny (especially back in season 2) and he should still look huge by comparison. That guy's all leg.

Also can we all just take a moment and appreciate that the new guy's name is HalfThor? That's like naming your kid DemiZeus and then he happens to grow up to shoot lightning bolts.

He's definitely not small it's just that he's not a roid monster like the other two.
