starki Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Why would Littlefinger kill Dontos right in front of Sansa? If he wanted to gain her trust, wouldn't he have done better to wait until after she was led to her chamber? Did LF choose to win Sansa's obedience through indimidation rather than trust?? Or did he just goof up there?? Intimidation :agree: Also, like he said -- an arrow buys the silence forever, unlike money...I like that the show is moving on from Baelish Lord of Brothels early portrayal.

Northern_Star Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 WHAT IS UP FOR HIS EVER CHANGING ACCENT? You might want to ask yourself why LF has a Mockingbird for his sigil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Machine Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 You might want to ask yourself why LF has a Mockingbird for his sigil. Actually this may change my mind as to Littlefinger's changeable accent, the notion that he may be modifying his accent to the person or people he may be speaking to is rather a deft one... you may have convinced me... it goes with the slippery nature of his character, that he may use his accent/diction, etc to ingratiate himself or to intimidate/control another... yeh, this is very persuasive... good point!

Conchobar Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Why is Littlefinger's accent so inconsistant? Is it because he is out of the capital and he doesn't need to use a posh accent anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Spark of House Spark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Aiden gillen is a good choice for the part but his voice was really distracting, and it didn't strike me as having anything to do with Wales. whales maybe?the mockingbird link is a good one, but I don't recall his changing voices in the book. it's not like the show to add layers of subtlety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just thought I'd put a link to "Chaos" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG3H9E-B464 It is a superb little sequence and I am sure the accent LF uses here is very similar to that of his scene with Sansa in this ep. Thanks for linking that. I think if people watch that they'll remember that Littlefinger has always sounded like this and it may be a put off for some but I think overall it's been a good 'villain' portrayal in the over the top skeevy rat kind of villain way. The mockingbird has always changed himself to fit whoever he's talking to and whatever situation he needs to fit in order to keep climbing that ladder. I'm sad to see this and the other thread with so much Aidan Gillen bashing. :( /stand Taking a stand for Littlefinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vengeance Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Are the people that aren't 'feeling it' generally Americans/non-Brits? It's not completely consistent but there's a definite welsh lilt there, especially in the last episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanna<3Rhaegar Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I don't think LF had much of a choice but to kill him in front of her if he wanted him dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there is then it just bemuses me EVEN MORE. i like the idea of him changing accents and behaviours with different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
