Tywin Lannister goes fishing, Magneto hits on his younger self
During the Game of Thrones panel at Comic-Con 2013, producers screened this deleted scene from Season 3 featuring Lord Tywin and Maester Pycelle.
Lord Tywin fishing. And gutting fish. Presumably this comes before the Red Wedding. Fish is the sigil of House Tully; its lord was getting married and his nephew the King in the North would be present. (Tywin also gutted a stag, sigil of Baratheon, in the first season. Tywin guts things.)
They must’ve decided there was enough foreshadowing. This scene makes Tywin more likeable, though.
In other Comic-Con news, Magneto hits on his younger version.
Sir Ian McKellen announces he’s looking for a husband, casts longing look at Michael Fassbender. In Vulture. Hmm, older Magneto will have to do battle with younger Xavier then.
While we like the idea of X-Men: Days of Future Past, especially the casting of Peter Dinklage as the villain, we are bothered by the presence of so many holdovers from the abomination that was X-Men: The Last Stand. (Cue Noel: Halle Berry is not Storm!) We would’ve thought they’d use the success of X-Men First Class to recast the principals. (Except Wolverine. Hugh Jackman is oddly untainted by bad movies.)

I adored Sir Ian McKellen after I watched him in Gods and Monsters wherein he fondled Brendan Fraser. I adored him even more after seeing him as Gandalf and Magneto.
Ooh! Rupert Everett admitted to have stalked him and presumably Rupert was successful at it.

Halle Berry should never be allowed anywhere near a superhero franchise ever again. She was never Storm, and she sure wasn’t *gakkk* Catwoman.
I think that, if she had been younger, supermodel Iman would’ve been the perfect Storm. Visually, anyway. I can’t really say much if acting-wise she would have been okay as Storm – her part in “Exit to Eden” was hilarious but bizarre, and I don’t think I’ve seen her act anywhere else. Still, she had the looks that one would associate with Storm.

allancarreon: The absolute nadir of Halle Berry’s run as Storm has to be “Do you know what happens to a toad that’s been struck by lightning?” Yiiiiiii. Having recalled it, we have to pass on the pain to you.

I do hope they leave her in the future for the movie. Only a select few of the characters will get to travel back in time after all (if we’re looking at the comic book’s plot). I wonder if Bishop will be their conduit to travel back into the past

@Jessica: “Same as everyone else.” Ugh. Pain, indeed.
