In addition to that I felt he basically left all the heavy lifting to Phoenix in developing the relationship between the brothers adding very little to it himself. He's not bad though, but he's very much overshadowed here)<br /><br />Duvall - 4(This is in the later Duvall wheelhouse of characters, but that's fine because unlike some of his contemporaries he still gives it his all. He of course does the tough love roughness while in the early scenes, but he's particularly good here in naturally revealing the tender side of his character)<br /><br />Mendes - 3(How many times has she played this sort of role by now? She's fine here though, although I don't think she makes too much of an impact)<br /><br />Veadov - 2.5(He's got the needed sort of menace for the part, but he fulfills the need of his part while not really surpassing it)<br /><br />Robert:<br /><br />I SEE ALLLLLLLLLL....anyway with Phoenix I think one's opinion of him would have to improve with his current streak, even if you already loved him. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Actress:<br /><br />1. Nicole Kidman - The Hours<br />2. Doona-Bae - Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance<br />3. Julianne Moore - Far From Heaven<br />4. Naomie Harris - 28 Days later<br />5. Julianne Moore - The Hours<br /><br />Supporting Actress:<br /><br />1. Miranda Richardson - Spider<br />2. Emily Watson - Punch-Drunk Love<br />3. Samantha Morton - Minority Report<br />4. Meryl Streep - Adaptation<br />5. Kathy Bates - About Schmidt<br /><br />The first thing that needs to be said about that episode is Pryce was amazing every second he was onscreen, and he best get that guest nod. Speaking of guest nods though I find Rigg is great in her return her as she is being able to reveal a greater depth to her character past the one liners. Again the tension only continues to grow in almost every storyline, and I hope it all pays off. In terms of other highlights Peter Vaughan's sendoff was very moving, who I feel is one of the unsung heroes of the show. Although maybe the scene was a bit much overall I have to say it was quite nerve racking when it appears we were almost going to lose Bronn. In terms of complaints it is a shame it seems we are not getting much of Adewale Akinnuoye-agbaje, although he was good for the little bit we got him for. Also the fighting pit scene just was not well handled in terms of the action, no wonder she wanted to leave with that boring brawl going on. A solid episode and hopefully we are in for something quite special with the last three.
