Game of Thrones Thread

Feel free to discuss any future speculation, theories. Anything from the books is fair game to post. Everything that has been broadcast on TV or from HBO. No spoilers needed.

  1. If you watched or know the events that will take place in a unaired episode that has not been broadcast on HBO, you must put all the information and comments in a spoiler tag.
  2. Do not post any media of any kind involving actual content from unaired episodes without being in a spoiler. The only exception to the spoiler rule is content publicly posted from HBO and or the GOT actor themselves. Teasers, promos, trailers etc.

Any person unable to follow the spoiler rules will be banned from this thread. 14 days for first offense. Perm banned from the thread for a 2nd offense.

I think Headey has done the character a disservice, and the show is a bit weaker for it. Fortunately they've gotten so much else right...
I don't agree.

Book Cersei is a victim, but pretty much all of it occurs before the books actually start.

Don't know about the series or books, as I've lost all interest after this past season.

I never read the books and the series has always been more about the cultural phenom than my actual emotional involvement.

I'll watch it but I'm not that into it.

If it ended tomorrow, I wouldn't lose any sleep and couldn't care less.

I binge watched all five seasons over a few days. I found some of the plot lines boring and some of the characters uninteresting. Also, although I think the acting in general was pretty good, there were a few actors in there that just left me feeling flat. I don't think Emilia Clarke is very good, for instance. Either her character is supposed to be bland and simplistic or she's just kind of a dud. She's smoking hot and yet she couldn't hold my attention in stories that were built around her character. I got the feeling that her middle aged groupie (Jorah) was going all hammy just to liven things up a bit and try to carry a scene or two. And the entire story line for Daenerys Targaryen during season five...ugh. Looking back at what actually happened during the season on her chunk of the show it's kind of amazing that they managed to bore me with it.

But I do like the show overall and I'll continue to watch it. I like that they moved Tyrion over with Daenerys. He's one of my favorite characters and I like the actor.

Oh I know it's the same person but, much like we say about our own sons, I'll miss the kid. The kid is gone...

First off, I want to on the record as NOT sad for you.

But I disagree on your assessment. In the books, EVERY character has a redeeming side, some hidden more than others. Cersei's hidden deepest of all. In the show, Lena does a good job, IMO, of portraying the innate dickishness of the character [she has mad sneer and eyeroll game], but leaving a little room for the sadness and fear [the witch's prophecy] driving her decisions. If anything, the show didn't do enough to drive home the impact that prophecy has on her outlook on life.

Perhaps you may be confusing charismatic and polite evil with a 'good person.' She's portrayed AT LEAST as evil as Walter White or Vic Mackey, but she also walks that fine line of being hateable, while you harbor a grudging admiration for her commitment.

I don't admire anything about her.

She's a whore who thinks herself far more clever than she actually is.

I'll enjoy watching Jamie kill her, though I will feel bad for him as he does it..
