BoJack Horseman Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 He's shit in this. Over acts it ridiculously and tries to make it too obviously sinister for me. Agree with this. There's too much going on with his mouth when he's doing accents. He was the same in The Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Bit of Jack Gleeson for anyone who's interested. This is the Q&A after a very dry speech he made at he the Oxford Union. He's an intellectual who's packed in acting to go back to studying. Very interesting young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Awesome episode I'm glad to see they're deviating from the books a bit and making it more fast paced Jon knowing about Bran still being alive and being North Time with The Mutineers Bran et al hostage of the mutineers Locke showing up in the Watch Ghost and Summer Podrick going with Brienne at this stage Jaime and Tyrion having some screen time ("the Kingslayer Brothers" ) and an extended scene with WhiteWalkers book spoiler would it be too much to ask as well for Dany to only spend a couple episodes in Mereen then get on the back of Drogo and head to Westeros? ps are they ever gonna do the reveal about Jorah spying on Dany in s1 and s2 and her exiling him? I realise it tied into the reveal of Selmy in the books and they skipped right past the whitebeard thing on the show (wouldnt have worked as it did in the books) but I assume it will happen at one point but perhaps it wont be Selmy who does the reveal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be marked shifts in tone between scenes (I can remember actually laughing at some good lines) but lately it just seems to me to be different sets of familiar characters being tormented by vaguely recognisable 'bad guys' from about two series ago.

There is so many and knowing there names and background is difficult. In the books I think he's only about 9, but they've had to "age-up" like a lot of characters to make storylines less inappropriate, and the actor who plays him is 16/17 I agree with RHS it must be difficult for non book readers to keep up, characters like LittleFinger, Lysa, Selmy dhave had huge gaps without appearing. Its not like in the books there arent gaps too but at least people mention them regularly I dont think Ser Barristan was mentioned at all between throwing his sword at Joffrey and turning up in Astapor on the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Seen a few complaints about last night's episode in particular - that the sheer number of characters mean that the episode felt "bitty" - someone compared it to Lost in that respect. Here's a wee bit about X character, then a wee bit about Y, then - oh lord, a boring bit with Bran sitting in the woods. I can see the writer of the episode tried to theme the first half with focus on Jaime (that badly shot scene - I understand it was meant to feel a mix of resistance/consent and not like Jamie forcing himself on Cersei, last week - was a mis-step considering how sympathetic the character has become) and then the focus on the wall and beyond, but I understand the complaints. I assume the show is too involving/expensive to do a full season to give room for the plot. Intrigued to find out what Locke is doing at the wall, he's still working for Bolton?

Tommy Wiseau Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sansa is the character I'm most invested in at this point - her development is absolutely superbly written and contrasts perfectly with the more obvious Arya/Jon arcs. That scene with Lysa was tremendous. Brienne and Pod is going to be a buddy road movie for the ages as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Did Sky Atlantic have the "previously on GoT" ? HBO did and it was great, some scenes from Cat and Ned from the pilot with Lysas letter, helps People remember who the Aryyns were and the reveal during the episode as to who has essentially been behind the catalysts to the entire show Only thing about previously things is they can spoil what's going to happen in the episode (Episode,not book spoiler) Ie bran warging into Hodor was an obvious outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 People with short attention spans should really watch the first 3 series over again. Im always immersed in anything I watch and don't miss much in any film or TV show. That said, I definitely benefited from watching the first 3 series again before the 4th started. I've never done that with any other series and I thought it would drag but I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been more helpful though if the same actors had played the same characters throughout the show.. Also i wish I had read it earlier because some of the characters I have been looking for were apparently dead before the tv program time started..

Its a problem but sometimes one that cant be gotten around i.e. because characters drift in and out they cant be tied down on contracts for however many seasons etc. The Mountain is going to be played by a 3rd different actor this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
