Im just a messenger in here lol
Thanks for posting.
I followed the links to the original articles / interviews where they pulled the quotes from.
Funny how the folks who posted this stuff on Twitter conveniently left out some major parts of the quotes from these actors which REFUTE lots of their own criticisms of season 8.
Gwendolyn Christie.... about Jamie leaving her...
The scene struck a nerve with fans and with actress Gwendoline Christie, who told Entertainment Weekly that she "was so upset for" Brienne after reading the script for Episode 4. "I know it's just a character and I'm an actor who's lucky to do her job. It's so heartbreaking. But it's life isn't it? Life is heartbreaking. I never assumed they would be together. I didn't think that would happen. And now I can feel a million hearts breaking."
Many fans can probably relate to Christie's sentiment there. While Jaime and Brienne having sex was polarizing enough, it did at least feel like an understandable progression of a relationship built up over seasons. Jaime leaving Brienne — and, in particular, her begging him to stay — felt completely rushed and, in Brienne's case, very out of character.
But Christie said that, although Brienne seemed heartbroken at the end of Episode 4, she'll move on from this just fine.
"I love that she doesn't crumble from it. She goes back to work. Because she always loves work — that feels refreshing, a woman can be happy without a companion," Christie said. "Woman don't have to be defined by their partner and that's good."
Lena Heady... about dying while The Red Keep crumbles on top of her...
Headey said her reaction was "mixed" when she first read the death scene, adding, "I wanted her to have some big piece or fight with somebody."
Despite the initial misgivings, however, Headey said she and Jaime actor Nikolaj-Coster Waldau discussed the scene, and she found it to be "the perfect end for her."
Euron Greyjoy... about why his aim got so bad after killing one of the Dragons....
The big thing in the episode was that Euron was doing well with his scorpion, his giant crossbow — he’d shot down Rhaegal last week. Why do you think his aim got so much worse this week?
Because they needed it for the story line? I don’t know. I think we had to take out one dragon so we level the fight just a little bit, and they caught her off guard. It was a sneak attack. That’s the reason why they could kill one of the dragons. But now she’s prepared and now she’s pissed, and if there’s one thing you don’t want, it’s the dragon mom pissed. She’s going to go fucking rogue man.
See, if they have a different opinion & they didn’t like certain aspects.... that’s ONE thing.... but when they start trying to SPIN what (GRRM himself or) the real actors themselves say about THEIR OWN storylines... then THAT’s that Bullshit that makes them look REAL butt-hurt that all their (non-stop) predictions just didn’t pan out the way they wanted them to & now their complaints are invalid.
Misery loves company.
