Ugh. Paul Kaye looking similar to his character in the UK bookie adverts seems bad casting atm.

This episode was kind of just 45mins of people walking around various territories but I really enjoyed it. The Jaime and Brienne scenes were great in particular.
I like the Margaery/Cersei/Joffrey storyline is going. Also yay for Diana Rigg.
Can someone either get Sansa out of there or just kill her because I'm bored of watching her idiot doormat face mooning round King's Landing to no effect.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 12:29 (eleven years ago) link
Haha Sansa is finally coming across the way she does in the books for Matt

Aw, I like Sansa.

Most of the Stark children bar Arya are pretty dull (although Bran might get interesting now he had magic animal powers) but Sansa is just SO STUPID.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 12:43 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I've never really given two hoots for Sansa. She wasn't particularly sympathetic in the first season, but I've still not warmed to her.
Funny how this episode was largely about regular characters having uneasy encounters with strangers during their travels. Three times in one episode this happened.
― DavidM, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 12:59 (eleven years ago) link
Sansa on the show is way more relatable/likable than Sansa in the books IMO; it is true though that Arya and Bran are the most interesting Stark children
― relentless technosexuality (DJP), Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:08 (eleven years ago) link
i actually have found the reverse. GRRM sets you up to dislike sansa but then flips that on you and makes her v sympathetic, in a way that is not coming across in the show for i would say 2 reasons, one that the show has to move on too quickly from the horrible shit she goes thru whereas the books can linger, and two she is the second worse actor in the regular crew after alfie/theon. she doesn't seem desperate, just vapid.
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:20 (eleven years ago) link
I think she is actually a very good actor who has the misfortune of being surrounded by a bunch of really excellent actors and a dude with a super easy part to play
Also Sansa in the books was totally vapid when not being desperate, come on
― relentless technosexuality (DJP), Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:31 (eleven years ago) link
I think Alfie Allen is pretty good as Theon actually, I've no idea what he's supposed to be like in the books but if he's meant to be a self-absorbed idiot who is way way way out of his depth then that's good casting.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:38 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty much
― relentless technosexuality (DJP), Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:40 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I'd say that that's bang on Theon's character really
― Windsor Davies, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
It is, but i still think Allen is crap
― Number None, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
Uh no the worst actor is clearly Daenerys. Ugh ugh ugh!
― sean gramophone, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 14:05 (eleven years ago) link
always got time to watch alfie being tortured
was/am really hoping rigg and bitchfacewhatshername stitch sansa up for her honesty
bran's lot are sort of turning into the worst indie band ever, can they just get to where they're going and disperse already

paul kaye is basically unemployable as far as the uk audience goes - i'm sure he's probably right for the role but he is always just paul kaye and nothing else
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 14:13 (eleven years ago) link
lol @ worst indie band ever, that is the best way to describe that story arc

I am not familiar with Paul Kaye, it sounds like that's for the best?

I really enjoyed Paul Kaye in this!

If you want to know more/risk ruining his character, Youtube Dennis Pennis.

dennis pennis is the only time he's not been "paul kaye" though
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
i had no idea about paul kaye casting so that was a big wtf moment for me but i actually thought he was very good in what seems to a fun role standing in for 2 or 3 book characters.
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
guy playing jojen reed seems very good, british child actor in thee classic mould, would have been great in the tripods or summat

Bran grew so much that when we first saw him, I thought he was Jojen, at first.

took me a bit to figure out where i recognized Bolton's scout (dude on the horse in the last scene) from.Noah Taylor, the guy who played hitler in Max. if he's going to be a reoccurring character i will probably not be able to stop thinking of him as a scraggly hitler with a beard.

He reminds me of Nick Cave, who seems like he'd be a House Bolton dude.

He was great in Doctor Who a couple of years ago.

Not to mention his turns as a budding young musician in both Love Actually and Nowhere Boy

think it was probably a poorly written scene, but mrs stark's long monologue about jon snow was fairly shit imo.

btw i like kingslayer now, he has good lines.

Jamie/Brienne were one of my favorite pairings in the book and I am happy the show is doing well with them

What was the really vile thing he said in their confrontation this week? I'm trying to find it in reviews, I can't quite remember it. It was before they actually fought.

Are you thinking about the crack he made about Loras being more the girly type Renly went for than Brienne and that she was way too mannish for someone like Renly?
― relentless technosexuality (DJP), Tuesday, 9 April 2013 19:34 (eleven years ago) link
tried to rewatch the scene, it was like one really sharp line and i remember thinking it was quite risqué/vulgar even for this show.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 9 April 2013 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
throne of cocks?
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 19:58 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that was it!
not as clever as i remember. i watched it early on monday morning.
this show should be called throne of cocks.

Hen of Thrones.

Kingslayer kind of reminds me of Sawyer from Lost before he got all whipped and emo. He's got the zinginess down as well. Those two characters together are such a great pairing.
Emilia Clarke is probably the worst offender re: bad acting. Alfie Allen isn't a great actor but he feels appropriate for the role and what he has to do, and yeah Sansa doesn't have to do much at all either. Daenerys has a shitload of traumatic and weird shit going down all the time and has exactly the same demeanor and facial expressions no matter what's happening to her.
