Ramsay was really great in the dungeon scenes; felt like it overstepped into ham territory with his father though

i think the dude who plays him is pretty lame, for one, he looks like every other dude around his age on the show, like exactly, and for two, yeah, ham city

Ham City. Porktown. The Big Oinker. We all had names for the place. But what went down there was no side of bacon.

Michael McElhatton is great as Roose, though, so that helps.

Yeah he has the perfect voice

Well, it's well-established that he's a bit of a doppleganger for Ted Leo

I don't mind Ramsay but at the same time roose has such a sinister creepy terence stamp thing going that he feels a bit lightweight in comparison.

The book definitely characterizes the Boltons/Bolton-Snows that way.

Littlefinger's accent has definitely become more ridiculous this season, right?
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 17:11 (ten years ago) link
Littlefinger was using the same tone of voice he used to deliver his "chaos is a ladder" speech - which may have been the last we saw of his character at the end of last season?
I remain unmoved by the 'rape' scene. It was grim, but in this show it didn't strike me as being something that stood out of place, particularly.

It seems even thicker than at the end of last season though.vIt's kind of puzzling that in the course of shooting his scenes no one is like "TIME OUT dude why are you talking like that?"
― Hadrian VIII, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 17:32 (ten years ago) link
i enjoy the weird accent. the show has made him much more of a pantomime villain and i am fully behind the theatre of it.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 17:46 (ten years ago) link
Inbetween last season and this, we watched the Wire, which has made Littlefinger all the more puzzling.

Gillen is not a good actor. He just about got away with it in The Wire but he's been terrible (and bizarrely-accented) in everything he's done since then
― Number None, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 18:11 (ten years ago) link
i thought he was great in the wire!
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
Don't get me wrong, his accent, and acting in the Wire were both weird. I had no idea he was in it until the episode he appeared.
― lauded at conferences of deluded psychopaths (Sparkle Motion), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 18:13 (ten years ago) link
he was great in Queer as Folk (which was obviously forever ago, but still)
― gyac, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 18:19 (ten years ago) link
I thought he was quite good in that Statham/Considine flick (the name of which escapes me). Ropey accent aside I think he's a very good Littlefinger.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 20:40 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I think he's a great fit for Littlefinger. Just wish he could pick one accent.

lol I hated this guy and his chicken-faced g/f in the Wire, he's only slightly less irritating here. such a silly actor.

If you are referring to D'Agostino then we should have words, outside.

Loved Gillen in Treacle Jr. He played a sweet, delusional outsider who may have a mental condition. Quite sad and funny film.

does ilx have an ignore feature yet so i can opt to never see another shakey mo collier post again? thanks, mods
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 22:34 (ten years ago) link
I feel like Dinklage's accent is a bit shaky too but he's just so charismatic that it's extremely easy to forgive. I feel similar about Gillen.
Doesn't Littlefinger travel a lot? Could that be an excuse for a wonky accent? Probably not. Some people pick up little bits of other accents very quickly and other people keep their original accent for decades in another country, I wonder how that works?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 22:49 (ten years ago) link
The Baelish family came from Braavos. Arya's tutor was from Braavos and had an accent. Maybe Petyr's weird accent is a shorthand way of getting into how he changed his family sigil and disavowed his Eastern roots.

I just mean trying to come up with a "reason" for Littlefinger's new accent. Seems more like dude just switched accents...
― schwantz, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 23:13 (ten years ago) link
LF has no personal connection to braavos tho, his family has been in Westeros for at least a couple generations and he was mostly raised at Riverrun so if anything he should sound like Catelyn.
