Do you know why the ratings for GoT are so huge? Because the cast and crew is so big and they all make their friends and family watch.

Elias_Maluco posted:And about the red priests, its funny how they are usually regarded as evil when they are the only faction in the world which seems to know and cares about the upcoming possible apocalypse. Thoros wanst evil are all; Mel did some pretty stupid and questionable poo poo but she sincerely believes she is working to save the world. Mel literally says that red Rahloo finds the sacrifice of innocents most pleasing. Guy is evil. Guy might be the only person who cares about stopping the apocalypse, but the only reason he wants to prevent the apocalypse is so he can continue to do evil.

Moltke posted:you're entirely missing the point by trying to inject nationalism into this discussion. votes are cast based on areas of expertise (e.g. only actors vote for acting categories, hair dressers for hair dressing, etc). On a per category basis, GOT dominates the television industry in terms of people employed, which is reflected in the number of nominations it received last year, say what you will about the merits of it. there are other factors at play besides simple loyalty to your employer, which is why GOT didn't sweep every single thing that it could have, but it does exert a tremendous influence on every faculty in which it has employees. it's not a conspiracy, it's not made up, its a hard truth. This post is just you restating the same dumb argument again, except this time without numbers since you've realized those don't work in your favor at all. As for the record number of nominations, the show got these nomination in its 5 seasons: 13, 12, 17, 20, 24. There is no sudden rise in nominations because of a rule change. You appear to be incapable of making any sort of reasonable inference from actual, real numbers. Maybe you should take some time off from walking in those Hollywood lots and learn to add and subtract. Pedro De Heredia fucked around with this message at 23:35 on May 26, 2016 |

I think the vaghost was actually shadow magic which is a different thing that she just says she gets from Riller. She lies a lot you see. I don't think she said Riller likes innocent sacrifices in particular, just that they're more magical because it's a much bigger sacrifice. Sacrificing the guilty is piss-easy and if they were worth as much it would totally gently caress up the divine economy.

In the last ep the priestess who owned Varys was wearing the same necklace as Mel. Maybe all the red priestesses are old as gently caress and have some vast apocalyptic ambition they've been working toward for the past 500 years

I'm not sure anyone is really on board with that plan, given that even if Dany is successful and conquers Westeros what is she going to do to not turn it into a continent sized Mereen/Vietnam and how will she integrate her army into Westeros? Aegon had the good fortune of just landing with a relatively small force (~1800 men) which did not put to much of a strain on the Westerosi economy but it seems like Dany is going to invade with all living Dothraki + everyone from Mereen who wants to tag along, which seems like it would end badly.

I'm not really sure how Team Dany is envisioning their invasion of Westeros, given that they're putting all the characters who ostensibly care about peasants and villagers on that team. Robert (I think) had a pretty good outline of how the Dothraki would invade Westeros, and it wasn't the people in castles who'd particularly suffer.

Well, if Dany has Aegon the Conqueror levels of dragon support, people in castles are hosed too, not that that makes it a lot better.

Rillzy gives magic to people killing kings because he wants to encourage it. He's just real sick of all this feudalism. Plot twist; the High Sparrow actually worships the red god. He's building his power and stoking the barely contained class tensions so that at the right moment the peasantry will round up every royal and noble with a ounce of royal blood in King's Landing for a massive sacrificial pyre. The right moment being when the city is full of refugees and the Others are at the gates.

I never thought of Turner as a bad actress. Sansa being awkward and kinda stilted is perfectly in line with her character.

Turner's performance is pretty flat overall, which isn't always bad as the character has been through quite a lot and could reasonably be expected to be of subdued affect, but sometimes falls flat. The scene where she confronts Littlefinger didn't convince me that her character was seriously angry about what he had done, though admittedly Gillen's performance was pretty flat and confusing too. Clarke is just...not convincing overall. She doesn't have any sort of presence in a scene that says "I am the boss, fear me", which is what her dialogue has been increasingly going for. It makes her seem like a big talker. It doesn't help that she has so many lines in Dothraki or Valyrian, but I don't think she reads the English/Westerosi ones very well either. She's not the worst actor on the show but she's probably the least impressive performance by any of the leads.

Perplexingly, Sophie Turner does emotional scenes where Sansa is sad and broken really well and scenes where she's supposed to be happy or confident as wooden and awkward. I would attribute it mostly to the writing.
