I think Young Sean Bean (especially circa “Stormy Monday”) really fits that reputation of Young Jaime’s as incredibly beautiful. (I see the older, more worn-down Bean as being Jaime, circa AFFC – he’s described as thin and with his face lined and with some gray in the gold of his hair – and I think he’s still beautiful but in a different way!)
I like that adaptation of “Lady Chatterley” not solely because of the Beanie nekkidness, but because you’re right, the class-conflict is made very clear (Lady Chatterley’s shame is that her lover is the gamekeeper, not that she HAS a lover who made her pregnant, which after all, her husband even urged her to do, AND Mellors’ own milieu hate him for thinking he’s better than they are, or however they perceive it!) I also like that Mellors has a kind of angry bitterness to him (I like my Bean angry and bitter) later on, when he realizes that love isn’t enough. (Except it is, which makes my romantic heart happy!) Also, Ken Russell really toned down a lot of the D.H. Lawrence-ness of it all!
I liked the ONE person's arguments on the Westeros forum, but a lot of people there just annoy me by repeating, over and over again, "Jaime will never change" when it's so obvious that HE HAS. Argh!
