I mean Tyrion's described as horribly ugly in the books, and he seems to be totally behind Dinklage's casting.

also he had his nose cut off

I suspect the reason for that change is to avoid having to expensively cgi out Dinklage's nose in every scene.

I think it also has to do with an attempt to give him a wound without seriously detracting from his overall attractiveness.

Moodles, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:09 (ten years ago) link

it would be too gross, like reading abt it is one thing

lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:35 (ten years ago) link

i bet they told dink they had to surgically alter his nose and he squealed like a bitch about it. fucking actors.

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:41 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, it would've been too much to make him go the full Time Traveler's Wife

okay, wait, is this not running tonight?

Memorial Day, and Liberace.

yeah hbo always skips big weekend holidays which is odd cuz that's such an old network mentality and hbo famously isn't even out for night of broadcast viewers anyway. no spoilers but i will advise ppl that they will want to watch the next episode as soon as it is broadcast and that they will otherwise want to stay the hell away from the internet until they do get to see it.

You know, the wardrobing isn't all that different, tbh.

llama del rey (Leee), Monday, 27 May 2013 02:21 (ten years ago) link

xp they didn't skip memorial weekend last year and the result was super-low ratings for the 'biggest' episode of the season

ciderpress, Monday, 27 May 2013 02:27 (ten years ago) link

yeah i guess i can't blame them then

balls, Monday, 27 May 2013 02:32 (ten years ago) link

The gifts will be happy fluffy bunnies, brought especially by a embassy from Equestria, because friendship is magic!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:47 (ten years ago) link

everyone whos read the books seems oddly pumped for this ep everywhere on the internet

lag∞n, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:48 (ten years ago) link

Well duh EVERYBODY LOVES BUNNIES.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:52 (ten years ago) link

i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian), Monday, 3 June 2013 00:55 (ten years ago) link

bunnies are popular i guess

lag∞n, Monday, 3 June 2013 00:57 (ten years ago) link

weddings on westeros are accompanied by a "bedding ceremony" where the bride and groom have their clothes stripped away and are carried naked to bed by the guests after the reception. so that's sure to be exciting.

Showrunner interview now live. Spoilers like crazy, obv.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 02:28 (ten years ago) link

Via a certain trending topic, I saw this post on Twitter from an hour ago:

@Letigzz 47m
The Hangover left me disappointed, good thing I get to come home to watch Game of Thrones.

...think I'll check in on her later.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 03:09 (ten years ago) link

doors shutting, rains of castemere, good setup. then brutally stab talisa in the stomach. damn, it was all so brutal.

Gukbe, Monday, 3 June 2013 03:51 (ten years ago) link

lego maniac cop (latebloomer), Monday, 3 June 2013 04:02 (ten years ago) link

that was gutting and insanely well done

Gutting, yes.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2013 05:13 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, I especially thought the Rickon/Bran separation has a lot of pathos, and given Natalia Tena's stature on the show, I kind of hope we'll get peeks at the Adventures of Osha and Rickon.

And Jon ditching Ygritte was COLD.

Ou sont les Sonneywolferines d'antan? (Leee), Monday, 3 June 2013 05:14 (ten years ago) link

giving forks the benefit of the doubt and assume he's joking.

but if he isn't, he might want to learn about how people view and take in media and art.
