Can a book reader explain who Lady Stoneheart is to me. I know it's zombie Catelyn Stark but that's it. What does she do? How is she rezzed?

quote:

Three days after her death,[25] Catelyn's corpse is retrieved from the Green Fork by Arya Stark's direwolf, Nymeria, who runs away when humans approach.[26] Catelyn is resurrected by Lord Beric Dondarrion, who gives his life for hers through the last kiss. Catelyn's wounds only partially heal, however, leaving her mutilated and without the ability to speak. She becomes consumed with the desire for vengeance over her family's betrayal and murder. She becomes known as Lady Stoneheart and assumes command of Beric's outlaw band, the brotherhood without banners. She leads the brotherhood in mercilessly pursuing and executing everyone she considers a Lannister collaborator, among them Petyr and Merrett Frey at Oldstones.[24]

While leading the brotherhood, Stoneheart's outlaws come upon a small party led by Brienne of Tarth, who informs her that she is searching for Sansa at the behest of Jaime Lannister. Stoneheart says that Brienne has turned traitor, as she carries Oathkeeper, a Lannister sword forged from the Stark Valyrian steel blade, Ice. Brienne swears she is still faithful but Stoneheart insists she must prove it by killing Jaime. Brienne refuses, stating that Jaime has changed. Stoneheart says she must choose, either kill Jaime or be hanged. Brienne refuses to choose and is sentenced to hang, along with her companions. As she is being hanged, she sees Podrick Payne choking and dying, and shouts "sword" to save him.[29][30]

Having been spared by the brotherhood, Brienne appears briefly at Pennytree when Jaime camps there. She asks Jaime to help her save Sansa Stark from the Hound, claiming they are a day's ride away. She tells Jaime, however, that he must go with her alone, or the Hound will kill Sansa.[31] The scenario she describes, however, seems unlikely to be real, as Sansa was last seen by readers in the Vale,[32] and Brienne has been told Sandor Clegane is dead (though Brienne herself now uses "The Hound" to refer to Lem, who has acquired Clegane's helmet[29]).

and they were rewarded with what I imagine was her head superimposed over her naked body from a shoot she did a couple years ago.

evidence:

she said she is no longer FILMING nude scenes after season 3.

she said that was not a body double.

- Beric dies permanently, Catelyn is resurrected but her body is damaged from decomp and being in the river so long (brittle hair, eyes claw marks over eyes, skin bloated and pasty white, throat slit so she needs to hold it closed to talk)

Anonymous John posted:

Did she actually say that or was that quote just attributed to her? Because her breasts in Sunday's episode were of a slightly different size than what we've seen on Dany in the past. Not saying it was a body double, probably just a difference due to fluctuations in weight on Emilia Clarke that are natural.

I don't think Emilia Clarke ever said she was against doing nude scenes. People said she'd refused to do nude scenes after the first season, since S2 aired and had none and there were some rumors that an actress did not want to do nude scenes anymore, but then she had another one in S3. Similar things were said in later seasons, and a quote was attributed to her that suggested she was against nude scenes for the show, but she put out some Instagram post denying it. And, of course, she had a nude scene this season.

It's just a rumor that never dies and it's always been loosely associated with a judgment of her acting ability.

Emilia Clarke posted:

I was followed into a party by a journalist who asked me a question about female empowerment and then quoted me entirely out of context for an outlet I didn’t agree to speak with.

So I feel now, with the beauty of Instagram I should clarify my statements, if for nothing else than for posterity.

In drama, if a nude scene forwards a story or is shot in a way that adds insight into characters, I’m perfectly fine with it. Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the characters/story, as they do in Westeros.

If it’s gratuitous for gratuitous sake, then I will discuss with a director on how to make it more subtle. In either case, like a good Mother of Dragons, I’m always in control.

One good thing about this season is helping me to realize that there is no such thing as good genre fiction, regardless of how much you "subvert" it, and that the people who exclusively read it are absolute degenerates.

If she doesn't want to do nude scenes it's probably more because she became famous after season 1 and has leverage now.

What leverage. She was in one big movie which sucked and one play which sucked.

she is the star of the biggest show in the world and likely knows she is integral to the finale thus cant just be killed off or written out. thats called leverage

Season 4 should have ended with a Stoneheart reveal and Season 5 should have had Jamie in the Riverlands with Brienne doing poo poo. End season 5 with Brienne killing Stoneheart to save him.

More importantly, she can just make one twitter post that goes something like this "was recast because I didn't want to be in gratuitous nude scene" and D&D are in big, big trouble

emanresu tnuocca posted:

Are we now crafting fan fiction around some hypothetical reality in which Emilia Clarke said she wouldn't do any more nude scenes?

Cause that never happened, Emilia does her own nude scenes and has never claimed she's gonna stop, she performed nude in a play, she's done numerous nude scenes on the show never using body doubles or shying away from the camera. She interviewed about the episode saying "It's all me", will at any point people just drop this whole made up story about her refusing to do nudity?

regulargonzalez posted:

There was a big story after s2 (iirc) about an unnamed actress who didn't want to do any more nude scenes. Everyone assumed it was Dany but in retrospect it was almost certainly Roz. Given that nudity was one of her primary reasons for existence in the show, her putting her foot down led to her being shown the exit door via Joffrey.

quote:

“I was so jealous because everyone else has these amazing costumes and they’re learning archery and they’re learning horse riding and I’m like butt naked. So I’m like, ‘Okay, how about Season 2 either give me a costume or I’ll ride naked if I can have a horse. They’re like, ‘We’ll see what we can do.’ I got a costume.”

Why did they not see the potential here? Brienne in the show is p drat good, this would have been such an awesome storyline for her. Instead she camped outside Winterfell for an entire season.

I wonder if her abbreviated storyline was caused by Star Wars filming conflicts.
