Rhaegar Jaime Tyrell Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You have to feel sorry for the character. A Targ loyalist, who has lost everything. Then a stark comes to NW voluntarily. He is harsh on all new recruits but especially someone he pereceives as a spolit rich boy like jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankbuster Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I love his portrayal of Thorne, really gets the badass asshole part perfectly, I enjoy him abusing kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTalon Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 He sure knows how to act like a mean son a of a bitch. Would have made an excellent Drill Sergeant on Full Metal Jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard of the Rainking Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Great actor. However I don't think he'd go a far as risking Castle Black's manpower to not let Jon become the Lord Commander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAndFullOfTurnips Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I actually like Show Thorne way more then Book Thorne. He's a complete ass but something about him seems kind of reasonable if not extremely bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'll pay the iron price Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Don't blame him for being bitter.He was a knight with some land in the crownlands and was on the battlements for the Targerayens.Tywins sack of the city and Roberts subsequent crowning as King turned his life upside down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The actor's doing a very good job of being hate-able. The show doesn't get into the backstory of why he's so hateful, especially towards Jon (for being a Stark), which is a shame. But I think he might be one of those characters whose role on the show gets expanded compared to the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'll pay the iron price Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I wonder how he got on with Benjen Stark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addam of Hull Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've never been a huge fan of Ser Alliser in the books, but Teale's portrayal has been absolutely brilliant. I hope we get a couple more scenes this season that balance his asshole-itude with some humanizing. More moments where he and Jon are in agreement, for instance, while keeping up the antagonism Alliser is known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I wonder how he got on with Benjen Stark? Probably didn't. He was Master at Arms at the wall, Benjen was First Ranger. Probably clashed very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'll pay the iron price Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 If I'm Commander Mormount, I don't want my 1st Ranger and my Master at Arms at each others throats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairion Lannister Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The actor's doing a very good job of being hate-able.

But I think he might be one of those characters whose role on the show gets expanded compared to the books. Even though they didn't give the backstory, I thought his speech about what happened to him when he was beyond the wall and what will happen to Jon and Sam when winter comes was brilliant and helped to give better insight into why he's the way he is with recruits, even if it's not an advisable strategy.

Dany's Silver Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wonder what he will think if he ever finds out Jon is also a Targaryen. And a legitimate Targaryen to boot! :drool: I have to say I appreciate the way Neale makes Show!Thorne one magnificent son-of-a-bitch! Just the way the words "bastard" or "traitor's bastard" or "Lord Snow" roll off his tongue, dripping with contempt, is awesome. I do wish we could have seen Tyrion torment him while they were both at the Wall. I also would have loved to see Thorne in KL's presenting himself to Tyrion. It is kinda too bad that Thorne saw the inside of a black cell and Tyrion didn't see the hand moving in the jar for himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duron Qel-Droma Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Does anyone of you think, Ser Alliser will bite the dust in ep. 9? I'm hoping not, but we saw him in close fight with Tormund in the teaser, which will not be very healthy for him at least. So, any thoughts?

Greywolf2375 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 He's doing what Gleeson did to Joffrey. Making you almost hate the actor because he is portraying him so well. He's got the arrogant ass thing down perfectly, he doesn't say "Lord Snow" in a really snarky way but you can feel the contempt. He's doing a great job. He's an asshole.

Daske Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 He appeared on a UK morning TV show today chatting about playing Dylan Thomas in Under Milk Wood, opening soon I think. He came across as a really nice guy. GoT was mentioned a few times in passing, and they asked if it had changed his life. He says if he gets noticed now in a pub because of the speed of Twitter he gets decended on by crowd of GoT fans within a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
