Here you go Otter

For those who don't recognise the statue on the left, it's a young Emperor Caligula.

:eek

 

[SmilingOtter]

That's awesome. Thanks!

:eek

So he'll get at least one more role if they ever do a remake... :lol

I've talked it over with all my friends and even my physio, the kid who plays Joffrey does such a good job, he's gonna be hated for the rest of his career. Everyone I know said if they met him in person, they'd want to punch him in the face because he's such an evil little psycho.

Still love the show but i think they are taking far too many liberties with the story it could easily lose its way. i hope not and i wish i they had made it a longer series rather than cramming it all into 10 episodes.

According to an interview with George, the actor is the nicest guy in person, but people spit on him as he walks down the street. He's just that good at playing evil.

Not surprising, I've noticed that actors who do a really good job at playing really evil villains and heavies on TV and in movies tend to be some of the nicest people you can meet while conversely, more than a few actors who are known for playing the good guy tend to be real jerks in person. Go figure.

Yeah that's pretty stupid that people can't disassociate someone with their character. I remember reading that Tricia Helfer (BSG) said that some people acted like they were scared of her like she could really snap their necks. :lol

Happens all the time people become so linked to their characters for better or worse. It's always been that way for some reason. I just saw previews of a Game of Thrones RPG for game systems that looks interesting and apparently scans the actors for their likenesses.

Just listened to all the commentary tracks for Season 1. George W. Bush is in Game of Thrones. Just thought you'd like to know.

:cool

Another great episode. The only downside is that the Reed siblings apparently got cut out. So did the Walders, but they really didn't add anything to the story anyway.

I had to watch Arya's scene with Tywin a couple of times. The look she gave him at the end was the definition of "chilling."

One thing that puzzled me about last week's episode - Littlefinger's spy network must have been really good for him to know Catelyn was going to Renly's camp. He had to have known, else he wouldn't have brought Eddard's bones with him.

 

[Mrcosmo]

Great episode. I continue to enjoy Tyrion's character. Peter Dinklage is truly doing a fantastic job. I agree that Walder Freys are not necessary but the Reeds still may show up.

 

[SmilingOtter]

They may, but it was Jojen Reed that dreamed of Winterfell being flooded by the ocean, rather than Bran.

 

[Kerr Avon]

Damn, got attached to Renly. *sigh*

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

Man, everything I am reading and hearing...don't get attached to anyone.

True. But they play a role later and I don't think Osha can do it all. I'm purposely being vague so I don't spoil for people who have not read the series.

I'm almost done with book three and this is definitely true. However, I'm very much enjoying that sense of uncertainty. It makes the world feel very real in a way that other fantasy novels/series don't.

 

[SmilingOtter]

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well. If there ends up being no Reeds, then two other folks spring to mind as fill-ins, especially since they don't really affect things through the rest of the story (so far.)

 

[DARTH SABER]

Dammit, when are those dragons going to grow up already?!

 

[firesprite]

Dammit, when are those dragons going to grow up already?!

Gonna be a while. They're about the size of medium-sized dogs in book 3, I believe.
