Administrator Toups Posted June 16, 2012 Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2012 One of my favorite Tyrion scenes. He's such an awesome character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Tyrion is the best as is Peter Dinklage. I love how Peter Dinklage does that speech. There is this amazing moment after he says, "those are brave men knocking at our door." He pauses and gives this painful grimace and then says, "let's go kill them!" I was literally standing up and cheering. I hope that Peter is nominated in the Best Actor category this time and that he deservedly wins another Emmy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Well exactly, it's based on classic royal families--think of the Egyptians to take it back to the most incestuous. However I don't think ugly people are more likely to resort to incest out of desperation or something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 17, 2012 Administrator Share Posted June 17, 2012 LOL!! I remember being shocked and grossed out about "pure blood" after hearing about it for the first time in "Gladiator". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) But Cersei does not sleep with Jaime or Lancel out of dynastic necessity. She does so because she has some weird pathology. She and Jaime kept their sexual relationship a secret because they knew that it was unacceptable. She was unfaithful to Robert and produced sons for her brother. If Robert had found out, he would have put all of them to death and the kingdom would have cheered. I am putting the rest of my comments in spoilers because they relate to the book. Historically, while incest is taboo in most societies, there have been periods where incest was practiced by ordinary people as well. Incest with full-siblings is rare, but marriages of half-siblings and first cousins have occurred far more often than most people think. We just know the famous ones.

Members DRW50 Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wow. Nathalie Emmanuel was often considered one of the worst actresses on Hollyoaks. I know this show tends to focus more on the women having their clothes taken off, but I'm still surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted July 15, 2012 Members Share Posted July 15, 2012 LOL! Nathalie Emmanuel was pretty horrific on Hollyoaks. Let's see how she does on Game of Thrones. Jojen Reed is played by the kid from Love Actually. He has grown up. All this casting news has made me very excited for the upcoming season. Although there are even more characters now. I only watched the first YT video with the introductions. Very cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted November 6, 2012 Members Share Posted November 6, 2012 Season 3 premiered March 31, 2013. Can't wait. I've gone through both seasons this summer and was pretty much impressed as any other fan is. Not so much though that I'd go buy the books, but still, the show is damn good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 The books are much better, imo. The show is great, but it's really just a shadow of the books due to time and budget constraints. Cannot wait for season three! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
