SeanF Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 It's lucky no one was killed. I suppose it never occurred to them to employ anyone who is used to working with horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowy Tends Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 7 hours ago, The Dragon Demands said: Remember how they'd joke about "haha, the dead stag that killed the direwolves' mother was actually a real dead stag, so it smelled bad?" I always thought it was extremely strange that a stag, and a large one with spectacular antlers, came to be gutted right next to the set of a scene including a large stag gutted by a giant wolf.

Contains new leak info compiled by several sources and cross-referenced. Hey Dragon. Thanks for these write ups. It's saving me buying the book alright. And I look forward to your YouTube vids. I've made several liked comments before on them, e.g. I've never seen actors look so unhappy at an event. I'm bold fox btw. But I needed a more ASOIAF name for here. But keep up the good work. It really is horrifying to see how easily someone could have died. Accidents happen in real shows like the walking dead but for a show that is run so badly, it's a miracle it never did (unless something horrible has been covered up.

Crixus Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I watched the cast and crew on Conan O Brien, and I was shocked at how lifeless everything seemed. Seriously, almost the entire cast was dull and had nothing to say (no funny anecdotes, fond memories, affection for each other).... having watched similar content from other shows like BSG, Lost, Spartacus etc., it really struck me how tepid and awkward this one was. Apart from the guy who plays Sam and perhaps Iain Glen, no one looked satisfied or happy about the experience. Compare this to BSG, where even more than a decade post-show you have the cast hanging out and doing zoom catch-ups, the difference is glaring.

kissdbyfire Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The point is that this thread is to complain about the show, whichever way one feels like complaining, not to debate whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I complain Debate v. discussion is subjective, depending on the moderators. I'm not sure why your comment needed 'policing' though, we already know that it was a grueling shoot, we know that some cast members did become friends, and that chaos/personalities/conflict on a set doesn't necessarily lead to a bad product. More telling to me is that still, after the debacle of the final season, no one for the most part is willing to spill any tea beyond giving some details on what was already known if not widely reported. The one thing I am interested in....how many people realized the last season was terrible, and what if anything did they do or say to HBO, and what was the reaction...is largely absent.

Even if you were an HBO executive thinking "D & D can't write credible plots, or good characterisation, but they can pull off brilliant action sequences, and we'll rely on the actors and composer to bridge the gaps" - you'd think alarm bells would be rung about Episode 3. They've got the Battle of Helms Deep, and the Battle of Blackwater to compare it with, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got the Battle of Helms Deep, and the Battle of Blackwater to compare it with, after all. Honestly, I blame the critics, while by the last 1.5 seasons you saw a lot of "GOT not as great as it once was" the show continued to get overwhelmingly positive reviews, and the things they were criticized for were really side political issues related to race/sex/violence/women... not the basis of plot, continuity, story, character. Even the first 2 episodes of season 8 the critics were still fawning over it. Only when out of nowhere did the hero, as she was presented, go nuts, did critics finally pan the show, but by then, too late, and that criticism was somewhat tinged with hysteria. Which is a long winded way of saying that probably HBO wasn't going to interfere when the show continued to gain audience and the critics continued to 'emperor has no clothes' praise it.

I haven't figured out how this forum works yet. The reply I got seemed a little wierd. But Ok. In my opinion it also makes no sense to have a board or topic where you can not debate. But Ok. The rules are the rules. I am honestly not sure if I am breaking any rule by replying to you right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crixus Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 16 hours ago, Dalinar said: The Beeaking Bad Crew also never made a funny Conan apearance. Let alone the Sopranos or the Wire Crew. The cast of "Apocalypse Now" wanted to kill each other. Your point regarding of the quality is? Where did I say anything about other show’s casts making appearances on Conan? Not sure what you mean by that. I think my point was pretty clear, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crixus Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Fair enough. I think my point was more around the fact that they didn’t seem to have enjoyed the experience. My perception anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Eyes Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Another minor quibble: why does Trystane choose to fight Nymeria instead of Obara? From what's shown Obara is by far the weakest fighter of the Sand Snakes, only holding her own against a one-handed man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
