Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Everybody in the cast seems compelled to mention as often as possible that Jack Gleason is the sweetest, nicest guy you'll ever meet. Which is absolutely fine, because Joffrey really is the worst, and he's wonderful in the role, and very much deserves to be seen as a separate person from that horrible, horrible little shite.
Yes, Sophie Turner mentioned in that interview that he was one of her favorite people to act against.
I always worried about Tom Felton after all those years as Draco, but Draco looks like a fuzzy kitten next to Joffrey.
Real leeches don't hurt, except emotionally -- their mouths secrete an anesthetic so you don't notice them. And the wound they leave keeps bleeding for a while, because there's also anticoagulants.
Yes, but these are Westeros leeches.
They’re direleeches.
Such leeches as were heralded by the red comet.
Draco does seem like a fuzzy kitten, yes.
Direleeches.
Okay, you people made me laugh hard.
By the way, interesting little tidbit from the books that may or may not reflect on the series... So, in the books, we know Robb's Queen is Jeyne Westerling, a minor bannerman of Tywin Lannister. In the TV show, his wife is Talisa. Her credit is listed as Talisa Maegyr, and she's of noble birth from Volantis. Well.... in book five one of the ruling Triarchs of Volantis is one Malaquo Maegyr, who also happens to be a Red Priest of R'hllor. Interesting. The Wiki of Ice and Fire says it is unknown if this means anything.
I'm very interested in seeing where the Talisa storyline goes, since it is entirely new to the show. So many possibilities!
