How the gently caress did she get the job actually?
wasnt there ANY kind of casting, didnt they want to see her performing ANYthing before handing her the contract?
im utterly convinced she signed the contract with her mouth, and by contract i mean cock and by sign i mean suck.

Doe-eyed innocent / scared girl who's being railed by a giant Warlord was the Season 1 requirement, which she nailed perfectly.

The character was suppose to grow, sadly the actress couldn't.

I've noticed Tyrion has been less funny lately and more serious about everything. Dinklage is a good actor, writing is bad and all of his internal strife still mostly revolves around him being a dwarf.

The subplot about Dany maybe being a bit crazy / tyrannical is being introduced very ham-fist and falls flat with me. We know Dany isn't a psychopath, so if it's not a mystery (or even a consideration) for the viewer then it seems like Tyrion and Varys are wringing their hands over nothing and wasting time, which they are.

Maybe Tyrion doesn't have many reasons to be funny. Being exiled at a court of a queen who doesn't respect him, and basically having to go along with a planned genocide of his family.

The writers are loving Dinklage, one of the finest actors of our generation, over big time with their halfassed writing and character development. They should at least let him ride one of the dragons.

The two ladies vying for power in Westeros are being written as their house animals. I can't watch any scene with Cersei at this point without seeing her as a mother lion, and Dany is slowly transforming into a dragon.

He's not interesting to watch as "serious dwarf" though

HE was way more interesting as the hedonistic fucker who kept joking and loving with people

Really? Wanting to use "fire and blood" to conquer an entire country just to reclaim some stupid chair that you think is your legacy isn't psychotic in any way?

She could have lived a life of easy luxury after Q'arth, that wasn't enough for her, because she's insane enough to think she can run the world. All political leaders are slightly psychotic in that respect.

I think most sane people would agree that Dany's acting and the writers writing have ruined the show. 7 episodes to go.

Has there ever been a long running show where an actor turned out to be so horribly miscast due to inability to grow?

Bran seems to have been perfect. He was a kid. Fell out a window. Sat in a sleigh and now sits under a tree and gives unemotional cryptic responses to any impetus. Jon was fine because he is pretty and now that he is dead he can be wooden as gently caress.

Show is bad. Post more teeeeeteeeeees.

I hung out with a dwarf at a bar a couple weeks back and he said Dinklage doesn't show up to the little people events any more because he gets swarmed by adoring fans

also PD lives in my friend's neighborhood and he's often spotted riding around on a scooter in a hoodie and sunglasses like the unabomber

Dany sliding into crazy town is a big point of the story. It's a combination of being very young and generations of inbreeding. She's not a full blown psychopath but she's certainly not sane either. A better actress could probably convey this but either she can't hack it or is being directed to act that way.

Too bad they need other characters telling each other that shes going crazy or nobody would notice.
