Couple of things:
- People complaining about new Gregor actor's age. I don't like the recast either (well, he's probably better than G2 anyhow), but it's not like there's exactly an abundance of 7' actors out there.
- New Daario looks like Shia LaBeuof.
Sorry but I'll have to disagree, most of the non-book stuff felt like anime filler to me, like the dragons being stolen and the mutineers at Craster's.
Yes. Most of the show-only additions have been shite. I'm just glad there's no more Ros.
I always thought Arya was much more spoiled than Sansa, Sansa was naive but she tried to be a good girl and do what society expected from someone in her position, Arya did whatever she wanted and she could do it because her father was top dog in the north and let her do it.
Arya changed but that she's alive is nothing but dumb luck, she's a snotty little girl who keeps running into people who know who she is and want to keep her alive. She'd have died a dozen times if not for others protecting her.
WTF is this shit? Yes, Arya was a tomboy that liked to run around and play swords. But her moral compass has always been in the right place (well, she is slowly becoming a killer, but that's another matter), unlike the emotionally and mentally stunted bimbo that is Sansa. Lets not forget that she's a few years older than Arya as well. Arya would never have betrayed her father and her family "becuz Joffrey is dreamy!!1"
Then again in my imagination the moon door was an actual door, not a hole in the ground, so things were quite different.
It was an actual door in the book. I think they made it a hole to make it more dramatic and I think it worked in Season 1. But this scene had a lot of things wrong with it in general. Felt too rushed with little buildup.
It flows better when spoken by the actor.
Based on the line "Your sister." sounding more ominous and compelling than what I imagined "Only Cat" would have sounded like.
Or maybe they had him do both lines, and the director though Only Cat sounded kinda dumb when spoken out loud.
It was also a much safer option than trying to do the "Only Cat"-line only to have countless of book fans disappointed because the intonation or whisper-level was not what they imagined. That's the crux here, that you got a small, but loud, minority of show watchers who come into the show with the unrealistic expectations they've built up over the years, as GRRM has kept them content-starved.
If they had gone with "only cat" then I bet the complaints would be along the lines of why did he say it in a batman voice? or that's not what his face should have been like, he should have shown a smidge more of sorrow and revulsion.
I imagined him whispering "only cat" in her ear. I think "your sister" is kind of an awkward way to talk to someone. Maybe it's where I live, but when people talk to someone about their siblings, they would use their name rather than saying "your sister" or "your brother." It just serves no other purpose than to spell things out for the viewers, and I find it a little patronizing. It kind of has a "from my point of view, the Jedi are evil" vibe to me.
GTFO Vanity Fair! What a stretch that article is.
Why didn't have dany and irri or messendei get in on last season when she did nudity? Why not show her at least kiss Daario? Why didn't Sansa (or a body double) get naked for Tyrion?
oh man oh god, if there was a Dany and Missandei sex scene I'd be all like
#teammissandei for life. Speaking of, weren't they trying to build an awkward romance between her and Gray Worm? How would that even work since he has no fun parts?
