![[image loading]](http://www.moviespad.com/photos/jack-gleeson-batman-begins-pics-fdfb7.jpg) No one in the small council will believe I saw Batman. On a serious note though, he plays the part perfectly. I feel if I ever met the actor IRL I would hate him automatically forgetting he was acting. I'm sure he is actually quite nice, don't think I've ever hated an actor for the character he plays. Not hate as in I think he sucks, but he plays such a good part I physically loathe him. Know what I mean? | ||

You don't want everyone to look completely shit and disgusting like people used to do during this time in real life and at the same time it has to look good and have accepting hygiene because it is on TV afterall. With that said, I think GoT has done it pretty good so far with mixing it. You are overreacting about how nice her hair is. And she is also a wilding far up in the north. Things are way more fresh up there in the mountains than south of the wall. So there is nothing strange about her having "non"-dirty hair and skin. You have seen other wildings and people in general being more dirty and worse hygiene because they have been around way worse climate etc. And afterall, it's just fantasy anyway. I liked this episode alot. But oh boy Theon... how you have fucked up now. You can theorycraft all you want, there's no way to explain why the widling girl born of incest that Sam Gamegie fell in love with would have dirtier skin and hair than a widling girl living outside with absolutely no way to bathe... ...EXCEPT if you realize the show wanted Ygritte to appear hot but didn't the other girl to (or rather it wasn't a part of her character). I understand their goal but it kinda pisses me off the instant John reveals her face you know for sure she's not gonna be killed and some sort of romance or sex is likely to happen. | ||

Know what I mean? Only other time that ever happened for me is Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. Still can't watch movies with him because of that role. | ||

Know what I mean? Thats pretty funny, but it is normal and common. One other thing I would like to add that I have observed over the years by doing alot of theater and watching movies and series and reading alot about characters, actors and stuff like that is that it is very common for actors that play evil, "bad" characters to be the opposite in real life. They are often awesome people in real life and it's more common that the people playing the "nice" characters on screen are the douches if anyone.. I have no idea why it is like that.  Anyone else who have had the same experience? | ||

Coulda easily got even closer. So, if she wants to, she could have Tywin killed. Try not to assume you know what goes on in the mind of a young girl. More so the mind of a young girl in a fantasy setting. | ||

It is a common misconception that people had all bad teeth in the past. Also you are not born with dental germs and you will not get them in an enviroment where they don't live. | ||

Anyone else who have had the same experience? Well that is pretty easy to explain. Good characters are main characters in 95% of movies/shows and better known/payed actors get these roles. And with fame/money comes a bigger Ego. | ||

Her English is better than Theon's... John has big blue balls, WE GET IT, THANKS. Why everything has to be so obvious ? I feel the show (can't say about the books) assumes its audience is retarded and that every character has to be EXTREME. Theon is now a COMPLETE dick, whereas before he was a joyful, nice guy. Whoa ! The characters have several aspects, look at our show it MUST be DEEP... Nope, if he chosed to be a dick, that means he was a little dick inside all along, but we never saw this little dick. And because he wasn't a dick before now he has to be SUPERDICK so the stupid audience understands what he is now. There were hints as to how Theon felt that lead up to now He's not a complete dick. He knows he can't be in between and that he has to choose his path and stick with it. Like the execution, you could tell he really didn't want to do it but was kind of influenced or peer pressured to do it. Even the first scene with Bran as he took Winterfell; he wasn't really cruel to Bran and the conversation felt really passive for someone trying to take over Winterfell by force. Bran asked if he hated them the whole time, Theon kind of just stood there for a sec and walked away. The flip of the switch of what he is now is because of the culture of the Iron Islands and the only way his dad will be able to accept him. He's kind of force into this persona to be accepted by his dad and his "people". | ||

He's kind of force into this persona to be accepted by his dad and his "people". He could have easily gone back to Winterfell and go back to his old role though. He didn't even know his father or sister, why should they matter more than the family that all things considered, raised him very properly. They taught him how to fight, and he was a Lord. Robb didn't see him as a Stark, but he was his friend. Oh and about Arya/Jaqen: I really think her best choice for #3 would be Baelish. He's the only one that can know about her being a Stark. Tywin wouldn't be a good choice, she's treated very well by him. If she lets him die, how could she benefit from that situation? | ||
