Angelus ,'Smile Time'
[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.
(props to the writers and Charles Dance for the inclusion and delivery of "a suitable wife" and "named Lannister")
Loved that bit. Oh Jaime/Cersei, your secret love is so very very non-secret.
The other thing this ep did really well was showing (without telling!) how much power and influence Cersei still has, and that despite recent appearances, she's not entirely stupid.
Remember that Shae has begged Tyrion numerous times to get away from Westeros, so there may be an element of cutting her losses, no matter how much she loved him.
I thought there were a few times during the trial when the camera cut to Margaery and Loras for a reaction shot and I had no idea what I was supposed to be seeing. Can't remember any of them specifically right now. Might rewatch later.
Margaery at least believes Tyrion is innocent.
I thought one of Maergery's reactions seemed to be horror, as in not knowing exactly how bad Joffrey was. I thought she was reacting to Tyrion, but I could be wrong. I'd have to rewatch, too.
Loras's expression didn't change much, I thought.
What was that?
The first, maybe? I recall specifically that there was a cut to the Tyrells after Tyrion said something, and not only was there no reason for them to be having a particular reaction to the line, they didn't seem to react at all.
In short, I am Hil.
Margaery at least believes Tyrion is innocent.
Yes, there were some reactions that were definitely getting at this.
I thought one of Maergery's reactions seemed to be horror, as in not knowing exactly how bad Joffrey was.
And this. I hope they pay it off in her arc, in some way.
Loras's expression didn't change much, I thought.
Not really at all, no.
Margaery at least believes Tyrion is innocent.
Olenna more or less told her as much, didn't she? Although I guess she didn't go into detail about how the murder was accomplished.
Yeah, I'd go very near to making the verb "know" rather than "believe"
Inexperienced as I am with warfare of any scale, if Dany took the Iron Throne and still had the Unsullied (or most of them) and dragons (or most of them), couldn't she make Slaver's Bay behave?
My nurse keeps asking me questions I can't answer. Who's Oberyn related to? The Starks? She insists that, but I don't remember having heard it.
