I'll pay the iron price Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Locke is awesome, I also agree that Vargo hoat wouldnt have worked well on screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayard Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Locke is very good for the show, a lot better then Vargo, who had a complicated backstory and story overall. I think Locke can be used later in Brienne's story.... after the RW he'll probably run from Harrenhal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGriffonReborn Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Noah Taylor has done such a terrific job with this character. He has a unique look and a unique voice. Locke is great for TV, Vargo is great for the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahighbornlady Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I love Locke, Noah Taylor did a great job, looking forward to seeing Brienne eventually kill him though. Also he's kinda attractive? I don't miss Vargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendels Children Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yeah Locke has had some awesome one-liners in the show, which his actor has played to perfection. That's honestly what's won me over to Locke and made me realize that changing characters entirely (like they did with Jayne Westerling) doesn't always mean the character doesn't work for the storyline. Locke works and is despicable and vile, that's all viewers need to identify with what Jaime and Brienne are going through. All the lisping and stuff from Hoat was funny and the his troop of freaks were definitely creepy guys, but it may not have translated as well onto the screen. :agree: :agree: :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Valley Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Maybe he'll finally get his chance to kill Brienne at the crossroads? Like, him taking Rorge's place?Would be a shame to see him offed off-camera by the Mountain or something, after all the work they've done to create this new villain. Would also be fitting to have him return to Brienne's arc down the road.But yeah, I liked Locke, though I do think Vargo would have been brilliant on screen.I have been wondering if this was the reason he wasn't thrown into the bear pit. The buildup suggests (to me) that Brienne will see him again. ewwwww....It'll be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaTyAdo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I swear the actor is so good that though I did find Locke generic, I like him... I do wish we get to see him again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
