undertow Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 So far, what have been your favorite "little touches" of acting, set design, or whatever? Personally, I loved how Ser Rodrik tries to keep from laughing when Robert tells Ned he's gotten fat. I also appreciate the way Ned and Jory muscled their way through the Lannister men-at-arms in Episode 2. Those 2 scenes combined really show the close relationship between the Cassels and the Starks.

NW Deserter Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This probably wasn't intentional and is likely more of a byproduct of good acting, but the crazed look in Arya's eyes when she pins Joffrey down is fucking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gytha Ogg Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Viserys laughing when Illyrio said the line about deaths at Dothraki weddings in Ep 1. I don't know why but it was just perfect.Arya staring at Cersei with absolute hatred when the decision about Lady is made at the end of ep 2.

Green Apple Fossoway Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 For me it was the raw fury King Robert showed when talking about the Targaryens. I thought he was going to have a stroke, he looked so pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L’Age d’or Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sansa's bad acting just makes me hate her more, which is a good thing since I dont want to ever feel sympathy for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senta Signora Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Sansa's bad acting just makes me hate her more, which is a good thing since I dont want to ever feel sympathy for her.Sansa's acting isn't bad it's perfect for the role of a spoiled, priviliged, romantically deluded, thirteen year old girl. The actress is skilled; the character is annoying. But I still love her because I was an annoying thirteen year old girl myself once, only not beautiful.

But I still love her because I was an annoying thirteen year old girl myself once, only not beautiful.Couldn't agree more - I think she's doing a marvelous job. My favorite bit throughout the two episodes thus far is Viserys running down the steps after Drogo leaves. I also love how Jon Snow looks so uncomfortable in Cat's presence and his reply to Robb about how nice she was to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrogant Bastard Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I liked how Arya attempted to hug Jon while still holding Needle. I believe that was straight from the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loras Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The look that goes between Ned and Bran just before Bran's fall. Little Bran is just so sweet, I already like the character more than I did in the books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusian Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A piece of costume design I thought was great, they have Drogo wearing his belt. I'd forgotten about the belt completely, despite it's use later on, and was surprised they'd bother making it a constant piece of his wardrobe.

Xenophon Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I love how Sansa had her wolf on a leash--that little detail told us volumes about how she doesn't really fit with the wild north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna vander Poele Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The way Sansa's voice almost curdles in rage when she's protesting Lady being punished. Hard to describe... but pretty, vain, and reserved Sansa just about to lose it in tears, frustration, and fury over her poor wolf... is awesome.

theMountainGoat Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Robb wearing a sword on his belt when he came to see Bran, a little detail from the book that shows they are totally paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End of Disc One Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 All of Viserys' facial expressions during the wedding. Someone already mentioned him laughing about the deaths, but I also liked his reactions to some of the gifts. Like the snakes, you can tell he's thinking "what the hell kind of a gift is that?"I also loved Jaime being a fanboy of Barristan Selmy, just like he is in the books. It really shows another side of his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Lannister Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 A couple things that stood out for me from the latest episode:"But how can you let her marry someone like that?" Oh, damn..."I'd rather be dead." "Don't ever say that." "I'd rather be dead." Chills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenophon Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The background during the violence/nudity/etc. ratings screens are awesome. I'd never noticed this until I now, but they have great image of the throne there. Very well done, I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartseverus Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm from Chicago. Gotta establish that so this next stuff makes sense. I hear all sorts of British-y accents going on and unlike Professor Henry Higgins, I can't tell where someone British is from or what their social class/status is based on their accents. (I'm from Chicago, remember...) BUT, my admittedly-ignorant American ears tell me that Ned's accent is not posh upper-class, at all. It sounds blue-collar, working-class to me. So, it makes me happy that Benjen's accent isn't posh, either. He's a working-class guy, just like brother Ned. When John takes the 'elevator' to the top of the wall and looks out at the North, Benjen stands there with him and says "I wanted to be here with you when you first sawr this." Sawr? Such a little moment. It made me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
