Prince of the North Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just now, mormont said: 10 years, wasn't it? Yeah, James has form for concealing the origin of family members, remember? Well, if James was gone for 10 years then the boy could be right about that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philokles Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 James was gone 12 years. He joined the EIC in 1798 aged 11, left for Africa in 1802 and returns in 1814. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 9 hours ago, Ramsay B. said: It's actually Oona Chaplin, who played Robb's wife in GoT. Rapace and Hardy were paired up in The Drop, though. I enjoyed the first episode and I'm looking forward to more Tom Hardy madness. Even just watching him walk around on the streets is somewhat entertaining. Agree with all that it is kind of hard to understand him at times. Ohhhh thanks for the clarification on the sister. I thought my eyes were tricking me, some of these actors/actresses can appear dramatically different from role to role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Who do you think that Spoiler poisoned his father? My guess would be Spoiler either the daughter or the lawyer. I hope it's not David Hayman's character. On 11/1/2017 at 11:42 PM, Prince of the North said: Yeah, I can't wait for that guy to get his (and I do believe bad things are gonna happen to him). Also, I agree with the spoilers here. After all... Hide contents Zilpha did say her father "disgraced" her. It's not that he is obviously a *villain*, Jonathan Pryce is also a *villain* but he is great, he is just really annoying. Maybe they wanted for people to dislike him and support James over him.

Martini Sigil Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I loved the tone of the first episode.... and how Tom Hardy can create tension and angst without even having to say anything...But mostly I love how I have no fucking idea where this show is going.... Jonathan Pryce is fantastic as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree... Spoiler ...that, for now, I would lean toward the daughter and/or son-in-law. Didn't the son-in-law say that they'd already made a lucrative deal with the EIT Co. for the property in Vancouver, BC? But, then, maybe that's too obvious? And, yes, the son-in-law David Hayman character is supposed to be annoying and unlikable...and, for me, it's working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Enjoyed the show and think it has real potential. Agree with whoever said no real hook, but the episode certainly planted a bunch of seeds for the season. When the guy raising the boy Forst grabbed Hardy, I heard him say "your father's son" so I think the boy is Hardy's nephew (half sister with father). Did I mishear? Also, we sort of know this ends with the island going to the crown somehow right? I mean Vancouver did end up with Canada and not the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Minor spoilers on the direction of the show in this article. No, no mention of the supernatural elements, if they exist.

I think the official story could be that he is the father's son. That doesnt necessarily mean its true though, perhaps things just align to make that story plausible (The father at that time having remarried and/or taking a mistress since Zilpha was born) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying the twist won't be that it's Hardy's kid, I just think they dropped more clues that it's the father's kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 They dropped some pretty strong hints that James' feelings for his sister were more than brotherly. If Horace felt the same way towards his daughter, that's hitting the incest issue perhaps a bit too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have looked at that before assuming I definitely mean the son-in-law played by Jefferson Hall is the annoying, unlikable one. I hadn't even considered the David Hayman character yet...but now I will have to think about him, too. I just took him to be exactly what he seemed but, with this show, I'm not sure anything can simply be taken at face value. Because... Spoiler ...really, who better than a trusted friend/servant to poison someone's food or drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
