Lothar Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The only problem with the scene is she just took their word on it that the dead were coming back to life? Still probably my favorite scene of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 2 hours ago, athmystikal said: I liked that scene and the actress and her delivery of dialogue. However I must say that it felt a bit unrealistic, this being westeros. I mean we know Bran was de facto lord of Winterfell for a while, but he had maester Luwin helping him out. I expected Lyanna's advisors to involve more in the discussion. If she was 15 years or more, it would have been more believable. She was making an extremely serious decision once which could mean the annihilation of her house and its people. Realistically, wouldn't an adult act as a regent of sort when serious matters are involved? Still it was the best scene of this episode. I dont know. Her mother is dead for two years (?) now, so she's already ruling a while now. Bran wasn't that long in charge and we have seen him in the very beginning of his duty. In addition she asked her advisor how many men they could spare, while Bran just sent 200 soldiers withouth Luwins approval. All in all I got the impression that she relied a lot more on the counsel of her advisors than other young rulers on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baelor_the_Blessed Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 After just this one scene, this character is my favorite in the series. D&D have shown that they're not above giving young children brutal, brutal deaths. I'm going to be so upset if she's strung up on the cross before Bastard Bowl.

LadyArwen Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Conchobar, thanks for the insider info and for not spoiling anything! I always fear that I wouldn't be able to talk about the show without letting things slip if I was ever involved in the production, so I give props to those who exercise restraint.

Grizzly Mormont Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 21 hours ago, LadyArwen said: Anyone else suitably impressed by the talented young actress who played Lyanna Mormont? I thought she did an excellent job. She gave me life when she held up a dismissive hand to her maester when he tried to whisper in her ear. Not to mention when she put a stop to the "small talk". She clearly has no time for anyone's nonsense. I've always liked the matriarchal Mormonts. Thankfully, Lyanna Mormont was portrayed favorably in the episode. It's not always easy to have a child actor portray a powerful character, but this young lady handled it well. She was fucking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I am not sure what the issue is the scene with Lyanna was pretty much a mirror image of the scene with Bran ruling in Winterfell in season one. A ten year old ruler who is making decisions with help from a maester and a man at arms. In both cases the ten year old sent men off to war. I don't recall the same criticism when that the scene with Bran aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
