#*jaime lannister

Hi anon.

I don’t hate him, though I used to. But then he got his own chapters and I understood him a little bit more. Which shows you how can a perspective change so much when the character has its own voice. I understand him, I like certain things about him, but I don’t find him that interesting. Among other male characters, he does stand out though. He’s far more interesting than Tyrion or Jon, but less than Theon, imo. I don’t have strong feelings against or in favour of him, except for pushing a child out of a window... I think I only came to like certain things about him because of Brienne. I like her, and since he changed and grew when he came to meet her, and he treated her with respect, I started seeing him differently. I still don't love him, or think he's amazing, but he doesn't bother me.

Hi anon.

Yes, I agree. The opportunities have benefited his portrayal, I think. He has used them wisely, at times, and other times not so much. I’m not a complete fan of his work on the show. And after seeing him in some movies, I think my impression of his skills were adequate. I think he’s an ok actor, with some good acting moments on the show. I don’t find him to be great, but I think he gives his characters a chance to shine. 

The more screen time has merited him a better billing on the credits, which I think he deserves. In some episodes this season, he has been really good, and in others he was just ok. I don’t think he’s going to have problems with the role on the show, and at times he uses great body language, a lot of expression in his face, and he turns that ok performance, into a good one.

He has definitely improved, and that's the reason why I include him in the review I posted yesterday. His performance on season 1 and 2 seemed very limited compared to his acting on this season.

My main concern with his acting has to be the future internal-external struggles of Jaime, when he finds himself in front of his loved ones, that now look at him differently after all he's been through. But then again, the last episode is proof that he gave a good kick start to that phase of his character.

Got it! Totally missed that. 

Thank you both!

And frankly I'm fine with that change, it's minimal anyway.

lavender-and-creme said: Its miniscule, but I did notice it when I read ASOS for the first time. I just wish they kept his “let him be the king of ashes” line because I prefer it to “burn them all” but that’s just a personal preference.

I get it.

I honestly didn’t think much of the details of his story. I was pretty concentrated on Nikolaj’s acting.

I’m not bother by it, but then I realized that they haven’t covered that much from the past. And that Idk how they are going to solve at the end.

Hi anon.

You mean episode 4, I think.

Yes, a bit. But in some way I think his scene merited it. Or not, Idk. I mean, there’s no excuse to be dead in the eyes. So, not trying to justify him, and that’s why I didn’t like him as much as Gwen Christie. I don’t think Nikolaj is an amazing actor, he’s just ok, but he fits the role perfectly, and can do pretty damn good sometimes, like on the latest episode.

Umm. I was talking about choreography and climate for the scene, not about the physical force used in the scene by the actors portraying it.

I had added a clarification to avoid your kind of confusion.
