Cas Stark Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I really hope that Jeyne Poole is in next season and that they highlight what a complete scumbag LF actually is. Aidan plays him sooo campy so much of the time that its hard to hate him in the show the way i do in the books. I think even if JP is in, that back story is out, too complicated to retrofit it now. She will just be some girl that Theon saves from Ramsay. I do find what they're doing w/LF on the show is very strange. Even putting aside the batman voice, a lot of the time, you watch the performance and it comes off as if HE believes what he is saying, but we know even as just a TV audience that this is not true because we saw him with the knife at Ned's throat.

MR92 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 - Both Barristan and Grey will get separated from Dany on her way into the pit by Sons of the Harpy. - Later, once Dany is gone, Mayhem will erupt in Meereen (including the scene where the Harpy is torn down). Grey Worm dies. Missandei kisses him goodbye forever. - Barristan assumes the same role he had in the books, setting us up for the Meereenese conflict in season 6. i feel like we wont get that large of a meerenese conflict in season 6...that would be 3 seasons of meereen, which i dont see happening...i see them wrapping up meereen in early season 6...it seems that ellaria as taken place of arianne...dany has taken place of aegon...which simplifies a great deal of things...maybe dany will be taking the storm lands rather than aegon in season 6? leaving season 7 for big battles, final stuff etc?

sati Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 ^Sophie interviews are pretty goofy, aren't they... I like her acting quite a bit more than you do, but she's not the most articulate gal in town. My yorkie is more hardcore than this chick. I don't ever read/watch her interviews, she is so annoying and immature, she acts like a little girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 ^In fairness to her, she almost still is. But Maisie's younger and doesn't have the same problem, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard of the Rainking Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It is a no no for me as well but this movie had Keanu kill over 80 people avenging the dog so it is awesome. And Ian McShane is in it and he makes most things worth seeing. Dag nam it! Now I want to see it, and I already spend my Blu-ray/DVD budget for the next month on (funny enough) a Deadwood box set.

I think Sophie is the most overrated actress in the show, I remember all those FYC Emmy articles about her and I just couldn't believe anyone thinks her work is award worthy. So I'm hoping there won't be much of her this season and Maise kills it with her material because last year her stuff was underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They have it in HD on Primewire, Guard of the Rainking....it's damn good on the computer screen too. Maisie talked about shooting her most emotional/hardest to do scene yet last year for s5 on the reddit AMA she gave yesterday, so I think she'll have a lot more to do than s4's sidekick for Sandor routine (which I didn't mind, I might add).

Cas Stark Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 yeah even with his smarminess and OTT accent and voice, he comes across as genuine and that makes him endearing for some people i guess. its always weird when i reread the books, i feel so much seething hatred for LF for so many of his scenes that i just don't in the show. same with tywin. I just don't get what he does with the performance. Like, when he tells Sansa he killed Joff because he hurt her family, are we supposed to believe it? sort of believe it? Is he supposed to be the John Barymore of Westerosi schemers? Or what? He starts out very unlikable, with all that crazy pimping, but as the story has gone on, Show LF, despite batman, it's almost like LF Season 1 doesn't exist anymore, like this guy...did not really betray Ned, did not really orchestrate the entire war starting with the letter, etc. etc. LF with Sansa in the snow, LF saving Sansa from crazy Lysa becomes almost likeable...which is really strange unless the author is going to do something no one expects with his character.

Lord of Nutella Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What is strange about that? The show gives us Sansas pov of LF, and he obviously really puts effort into making her like him. And we know he is a good liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevelyan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 My yorkie is more hardcore than this chick. I don't ever read/watch her interviews, she is so annoying and immature, she acts like a little girl. I actually like her as Sansa quite a bit, but yeah - I try to avoid interviews with her (or Maisie Williams). They both seem to be quite silly (and kinda shallow, to be honest) in real life, you know, twittering, instagramming and "vining" (is this even a word?) the whole time. Which is not a criticism per se, who am I to criticize them, but it kinda breaks my immersion when I watch the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingelheim Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think Sophie can be terrific when she wants to. She's really grown into the characer, like Kit with Jon or Maisie with Arya. A shame Emilia is getting worse with every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larastone Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Do you guys think Lena Headey will be able to pull off being the main character in KL next season and leading/carrying that entire storyline? Emilia does best with dramatic action scenes but....she kind of sucks at everything else. i wish she would stop trying to make her voice/accent sound more ~regal~ too. it doesn't work and its kind of annoying.

Cas Stark Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Do you guys think Lena Headey will be able to pull off being the main character in KL next season and leading/carrying that entire storyline? Probably. The only twinge I get is that her scene when Joff died didn't work for me, and this was her letting loose, going big, and I wasn't impressed. She has played drunk Cersei wonderfully, though. I'm sick of Ann Boelyn. I don't really like the two of them together anymore. Ann Boelyn is one note more and more. The longer she's on, the less I like the casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Headey's been consistently strong. I must be in the minority who think that Emilia's worst moments were in s1. Case in point:"You. Sold. Slaves. Why?"And, "(flutters eyelashes ridiculously) I don't think Drogo would like it with me on top..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
