Mr Hodor Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I absolutely love her smirks when a plot is being carried out. I think she is doing a great job as cersei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thought about making a thread like this but yeah she has been amazing, Her "Blackwater" performance is one of my favorites on the show and she has been so great in season 3 so far.

Knight Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 She nails Cersei, in my opinion. I reckon in upcoming seasons she will be performing Cersei's paranoid side flawlessly. Her facial expressions really portray her character's inner motivations and thoughts.ETA: typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogo_1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I want her to commit to doing the walk of punishment. She should honor the books in this. She has been very good so far but she shouldn't be afraid of nudity. She's been naked in other work and the walk of punishment will be deminished if she's not.

The Killer Snark Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Lena Headey's faux-innocent smirks are about the sexiest on television. She's been one of the most consistently excellent cast members right from the start of the programme. Nicole Kidman, who would have otherwise been my dream choice, couldn't have done a better job.IMO, Headey will feel no qualms about the Walk of Shame scene, or at least I hope not, since she's done full frontal nudity before.

Her weakest performance imo. In every other episode she's been astonishing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinn Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, so many are freaking outstanding actors/actresses. Leana Headey is certainly one of them. While watching the previous episode with friends I pointed out what a great actor Dance was in the Cersei/Tywin encounter and my friend immediately said BOTH.I loved her eyeroll while he continued to write and ignore her.

SilentSense Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 She's a very good actress for sure. The Lannisters are all remarkably well cast. Tyrion probably the worst tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teemo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't know why, but she's one of my least favorite Lannister actors. I don't feel like the actress gets Cersei at all, and she's one of the very few book characters that I still don't link with their respective show actor. I love Dance and Dinklage though.

StannisandDaeny Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I just want to slap her (Cersei) which means Lena is simply doing it right... even though her views on and her ideas about her character are sometimes wrong. That said I love cocky female characters like Cersei and Lena's portrayal of Cersei's cockiness above all has been spot on. Her expressions are simply gold, although sometimes over the top when the focus is not directly on her (much like Ser Rodrik...) Curse those idiots who spit at her in malls!

Xasthur Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Actually I didn't find her convincing when she was acting drunk. Her weakest performance imo. In every other episode she's been astonishing though.You're right. She became so good as Cersei, but those drunk scenes in Blackwater... did she even sip at the glass?? I don't know if anybody has seen the special version with the actors commenting the scenes on the DVD, but Peter Dinklage makes fun of that over and over. :DIf you guys think that was well delivered you have never seen a drunk girl/woman :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teemo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I agree about the Blackwater scene, it's actually a comment I've made a lot before...some people were calling it "Emmy-worthy" and she didn't even seem the slightest bit drunk to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dove Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Lena Headey is ridiculously fantastic. I love her and her crazy eyebrows.I pretty much can't wait for Cersei's AFFC material just to see how Lena Headey tackles it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Queen Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 She is awesome. I've loved Lena for quite some time. First time I watched Game of Thrones (i was by myself) i kept on saying: Luce is that you? No.... yess it's really you. hahaha.Lena is great as Cersei. Love the smirkes. She is great at playing evil. And i really hope they keep the walk of shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Arwen Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Lena plays Cersei with nuance and skill. I really enjoy her performance. However, she doesn't play Cersei how I always interpreted her character. I've had an extremely specific image of Cersei's appearance, demeanor, and mannerisms--I just imagine her to be a bit spicier and not always so composed and regal as Lena portrays her. Still, I think Lena brings a lot of life to the character, and I'm very comfortable with her portrayal of Cersei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
