[NO SPOILERS] Art Parkinson tries to upstage RW.

[go joff go]

Lets give a hand to one of the youngest actors on the show for stealing the Bran scene he was in tonight. Fantastic job by the kid.

[ebevan91]

I teared up during that scene, then the scene with Grey Wind dying was even worse :(

[Newstar]

Yeah, seriously. I was all, "Wow, he can act." Nina Gold, ladies and gentlemen.

[victim]

Yeah, seriously. I was all, "Wow, he can act." Nina Gold, ladies and gentlemen.

I thought this... and then immediately thought, why are we only learning this now? We won't see him again for a long, long time and he's been savagely (pun) underused to this point, though that's not to say he wasn't underused in the books too.

[LoyalStarkBannerman]

Rickon confirmed for heir to Winterfell.

[Oakenfist]

He was good and I hope they keep the same actor throughout the series.

[Mark Antony]

Yeah he was really good. That scene was great. :cry:

[Stannis the Wight]

it would be nice if we start to see Rickon develop on the show I wonder how long he and the actress who play Osha are signed on for

[Montey14]

But they are going to the Umbers instead of Skagos......I wonder how this will play out with Davos's arc

[TheAwesomeVargoHoat]

Hopefully with them going to the Last Hearth they recast Greatjon since he wasn't at the wedding.

War Greatjon!

[Montey14]

I teared up during that scene, then the scene with Grey Wind dying was even worse :(

Doesn't Greywind actually get loose and kill some Freys before they actually put him down....

[Kraken's Kiss]

It's very hard for me to cry during a show or movie...doesn't happen often.

That being said, for some reason that scene got me tonight. Totally unexpected too. Suddenly my eyes started tearing up.

Wonderfully done and touching scene.

[Arkash]

In Nina Gold we trust !

[jeffklm]

I hope we get to see Osha, Rickon, & Shaggydog's journey to Last Hearth/Skagos.

[Ser Wun Wun]

That was some pretty good acting. I hope GRRM has plans for Rickon in future novels so we can see more of Art.

I hope we get to see Osha, Rickon, & Shaggydog's journey to Last Hearth/Skagos.

Absolutely. They need to make up some scenes for those two, not many, but enough so that they aren't completely off screen for as long as in the books.

[JCrowley90]

I had always assumed that Rickon would depart the show as he did in the books, then return a few seasons later with a new, older actor (a la Octavian in Rome) but after tonight's scene I hope the showrunners at least give Art a solid chance at re-auditioning for the part again in a couple of years as the kid's got talent. Just a shame it took us this long to get a scene where he could shine!

[Bannerless Man]

Aye, the little lad did well. But as has been mentioned, Last Hearth? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that on the other side of The North to Skagos?

[crazibouncer]

Yea Rickon did a great job and I hope he does come back for future seasons.

[kephv]

It seems every kid on the show is a prodigy. Well done indeed. Maybe we'll see more of him instead of him just disappearing for a few seasons.

[Khal Porno]

I'll admit my eyes got a little watery in that scene as well, I think it was the best of the whole episode. I don't remember their goodbye being that effective in the books.
