I can't recall the delivery, but it was a really well-written speech, that said so much about the character. The show rarely does that.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 30 July 2017 14:21 (six years ago) link
it was a good piece of script, i watched it again yday and i think tbf part of why i found it a bit ott was that it showed other scenes and used his speech as a voiceover.

my favorite created for the show was that season 1 convo between cersei and robert, brilliantly played by both actors and shining a depth on cersei that we never get to see in the books, even in (or especially in) her POV chapters.

^ Might be a good joke if at some point you see the same box in the background at Dragonstone at some point. I assume he just left the wizard to die when he left King's Landing though.
Is the Cersei/Oberyn scene in the books? That was one of her best also.

is it bc he doesn't have big speeches?
I think I forget about him cause he is absent for long stretches, he's quite good though

i mentioned him!
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 30 July 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
his scenes are really the only thing I look forward to right now. would have been very happy if they'd spun off a season of just him and Arya wandering the riverlands like medieval Big Daddy and Hit-Girl

This episode was hard to watch, but also fantastic. If you have to do away with some side characters played by some of your best talent, this is the way to do it.

I just can't handle how fast everything is wrapping up. Like we spent how many years of characters traveling and traveling and now people just jump from one place to another in seconds. Although I did like some of that at the end. Like jumping to the aftermath of Lannister vs Tyrell.

easily the best one of the season even if it doubled down on the show's most irritating element, Jon and Dany and their supposed charms

It's good that they are barreling along and doing what the tv version has always done best. But I'm watching mostly to get a glimpse of what GRRM intends to do, and I think it's safe to say that we won't get any of this nonsense.

misandei is really bad too - real amateur drama feeling off her "announcements".
there was a lot of childish/needlessly vulgar writing in this ep - euron's "finger in the arse" and tyrion's "impregnate the bitch".

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 31 July 2017 22:12 (six years ago) link
i often think Clarke is bad too but at the same time it works because isn't the character supposed to seem a little callow and unconvincing? there's a little more complexity to her at least than jon snow, who so far comes off as the typical paper thin self-serious fantasy protagonist.
― ryan, Monday, 31 July 2017 22:14 (six years ago) link
xp - Euron and Davros were the heroes of this episode. It seems odd to me to cringe at his crass challenge of Jamie, and Tyrion's line, in the context of an episode that was heavy on the "let me describe in graphic detail ways in which we were prepared to torture you to death" speeches.
― sarahell, Monday, 31 July 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
also lol at Sam's modern explanation of how he solved a problem by reading the manual and following the instructions.
"give me ten good men and I'll impregnate the bitch" is a pretty strange saying
― Number None, Monday, 31 July 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link
sure, but I prefer strange sayings to things like Littlefinger giving Sansa a lecture about how she needs to see everything all at once, and then, wow what a coincidence, Bran shows up at the door!
― sarahell, Monday, 31 July 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link
felt like that juxtaposition was intentional? like littlefinger doesn't really see anything at once - he's just a creepy pos w/ a weird crush on a girl who he sold to a violent rapist and he thinks he's really wise. bran otoh can actually see everything and what that looks like is not being some smarmy shit but being psychologically fractured and alienated. neither are good models for sansa who this week reminded me so much of a stark - not the stark black sheep (who has dreams of becoming a pretty princess) but that kind of cold, pragmatic, black & white starkness but w/ a more earned wisdom than her naive father.

earlier, we were discussing the quality of actors and one that was mentionned that I think is doing a very fine job is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
nothing can save Clarke and Turner.
