The 20 guys at the front of the Dothraki army may have enjoyed Dany's stupid speech, but the 100,000 people behind them were probably like "wtf did we stop"

"What did she say?"
"I think it was 'Blessed are the cheese makers.."
"What's so special about the cheese makers?"
"It's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products."

Emilia Clark isn't a great actress, but she's not as bad as all that. The atrocious handling of her character makes her look worse than she is. The slightly cheesy, over the top speeches were cool the first time or two, at this point they are comedic.

This Hodor thing has inspired me to watch GoT. I'm halfway through episode 2. No spoilers!

I agree, but lol Walder Frey is not some no-name random, he's been acting for 40+ years - not surprising he's better than a couple of young whipper-snappers in their first major gig.

Sardo Numspa was great. Amazing how much Tommen grew up in 3-4 years.

Yes. Remember the two young Lannister cousins that the Kastark guy killed in season 3? They actually used one of those kids as the older Tommen.

All the recasts in the show have been fine thus far, with one big exception.

THIS GUY SUCKS ASS.

He's the least convincing crazy, mercenary bad ass I've ever seen. He's just way too prim and proper and prissy.

The original guy was a million times better, had the right look and attitude for the backstory of the character.

You don't remember the original Daro? Everyone was totally gay for him because he was awesome.

I do remember him and i thought he was awful in that role. New guy is very good as edgy smart good guy/Khaleesi love interest. I don't think he's supposed to be crazy, murderous, unpredictable villain, which is the only possible role for the first guy.

I mean first guy banging khaleesi is not even close to believable.

Yeah I really don't get why they would recast him. Wonder what the motivation for that move was?

Wasn't their idea I believe. The dude wanted to go do movies and left on his own so they were forced to recast him. What's odd is that the new guy could not have been more different in look and attitude.

He's definitely supposed to be an edgy, sorta crazy guy, which is why the look of the first guy was perfect, he looks like the type of guy who'd do that, at least he was originally supposed to be that way. They have changed his persona somewhat to fit the new actor.

That is true. The new guy is not that guy. Really they should have had new guy kill that guy or something, but my point is that there was no future in the story for the old guy (other than turning villian, which could have been awesome). The old guy would not work in the current role of Daario.

Fair point, not sure.

Main prediction is DEFINITELY no trial by combat. No way that goes down.

Not sure if Tommen has it in him to execute Cersei or not, but once the faith exposes Cersei for killing King Robert its all over for her.

I want to add another possibility to my post: the faith turns on Tommen even after the Cersei trial, because its exposed in the trial that he is illegitimate.
