The fact that they can boil down generations of family intrigue and reciprocal vengeance to "well this guy doesnt have no balls" is dripping Season 8 juice

And then take it a step further into the "Monster A Go-go" movie direction when the last final big bad is cornered... The big bad disappears and a bird comes in that delivers a message with a title card that reads

"Ned Stark, alive, well, with head, and of normal size, some 8,000 miles away in a lifeboat, with no memory of where he has been! Then who, or what, was beheaded? Is it here yet? Or has the cosmic switch been pulled? Case in point: The line between science fiction and science fact is microscopically thin! You have witnessed the line being shaved even thinner! But is the menace with us?"

She didnt seem very mad to me, he didnt seem very in love with her, this is the final cherry on a cone filled with bullshit.

Emilia Clarke has basically said she wasn't playing Daenerys as crazy, so not only did the writers fail to convince the viewers about her character motivations, but they failed to convince her too.

The ultimate Romeo and Juliet tale - one comes from a family of people with genitals, the other from a family without.

How can a man without a wiener even have feelings? Wow what a challenging situation the writers have made give them an Emmy.

Enh, I dunno, that doesn't mean very much. It's pretty normal for an actor to not play a crazy character as "crazy".

Apples and oranges, but I remember Ralph Fiennes talking about how important it was to never play the paranoid schizophrenic character Spider as "crazy" - it was his job as an actor to have his character's insane words and actions be completely real and true.

Does she know what "crazy" mean though. She legit doesn't/didn't know what "femme fatale" mean.

Her point, I believe, was that saying "femme fatale" is not acting directions which is true.

On the other hand, the film we got when the acting directions improved.

It's exactly like Romeo and Juliet, but without the families or suicide. Also Romeo doesn't have a dick.

Romeo and Juliet was the one where the guy goes into the woods and turns into a Donkey right?

"romeo and juliet is about 2 people in love who arent able to have sex" is what you would assume is an accurate summary if you only read the back of the book dvd case

I do think a lot of the character motivations that haven't made any sense on the tv show can probably be explained in part by them amputating large segments of the plot by not having characters like fake Aegon in the show, but GRRM is still dreaming if he thinks the tv show cutting them out hasn't made them less interesting since they feel like inessential bloat now, and impediments to him finishing the loving thing. If he ever does actually complete the books, I'll probably still read or skim them out of curiosity, but I'll mostly just be interested in knowing what differs rather than being super immersed in the story all over again. Whether he likes it or not, I think the tv show is going to be the definitive version for this generation at least.
