I think she was great in the first season and whenever she gets the chance to portray her character's vulnerabilities she thrives (her final scene with Iain Glen this season was excellent). The rest of her performance though is really a mixed bag: she has some strong moments (the conquering of Astapor in the third season, for example) but she also doesn't quite bring the needed command and presence that the role requires and her confrontation with Jorah in the fourth season borders on terrible. Also, as Louis properly said, it's kind of annoying how she always manages to get out of trouble so easily. I thought she was actually good in last night's episode - not amazing but quite effective. Oh and I also loved the lesbian subtext between Yara and Daenerys. Clarke's performance in this season could actually be my favorite out of her performances post season one but she is still far from being truly great.Giuseppe Faddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679521285512613860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-84878303115197936152016-06-20T08:25:29.709-04:002016-06-20T08:25:29.709-04:00It's so odd hearing so much negativity about C...It's so odd hearing so much negativity about Clarke on GOT on here since everyone I know who watches it says it's her best work.

I must concur with Tahmeed that Miguel Sapochnik's direction was a particular highlight. The battle scenes were both exceptionally grand and visceral. He best be the Emmy nominee for the series in his category. The same can be said for Kit Harington, who unless there is some last episode magic by someone else, is season MVP without a doubt in my mind. He was on mark throughout the episode. I loved his early stand off scene with Ramsay, and then he brought the needed weight to every moment in the battle particularly the two grave losses.<br /><br />Now to be ever so slightly negative for a second the episode did show exactly why Jon Snow and the north is so compelling in comparison to Daenerys. He has to climb through a pile of corpses to still barely win the day while she just casually wins it with her cheat code. I will say that those scenes were still very well done, with the CGI being far more impressive than it had been last time she rode a dragon at a pivotal moment, Dinklage was good as per usual, Clarke though just can't pull off menace at all. Unlike Sophie Turner on the better part of the episode who was terrific in all of her scenes and was especially dynamite in her final oh so satisfying moment at the end of the episode. I also loved the short moment between Davos and Tormund in particular, and though I feel he's been sort of stuck in the circular confines of the role for a while now I felt Iwan Rheon pulled off a strong swansong. It was a great episode.

I really find myself liking Daenerys less and less as the series progresses, even though, or maybe because, the producers want us to believe she would be a great ruler (while I recently found her a bit arrogant and repetitive, thank god that Tyrion put some sense into her in this episode). Still, Mereen was much better than usual, its sequence was extremely well done and, despite my reservations about the character, Emilia Clarke was pretty good (as well as Peter Dinklage who gave his best work of the season). But of course the episode is so great because of the Battle of the Bastards, which is just brilliant. The directing was phenomenal, the actors were great (Harington, Turner, Rheon, van Houten and Cunningham were top notch) and it was just thrilling and compelling from beginning to end. Loved it.Giuseppe Faddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679521285512613860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-22572231727989525822016-06-20T06:55:53.079-04:002016-06-20T06:55:53.079-04:00This episode of Game of Thrones was simply spectac...This episode of Game of Thrones was simply spectacular. Both of the battle sequences were top-notch, and forgive the cliche, but I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Miguel Sapochnik (not sure if I spelt that right) did the best direction ever on the show. For me, Kit Harington and Iwan Rheon were clearly the standouts, but then again, the acting was amazing all around the cast. Liam Cunningham's reaction to finding Shireen's toy was simply heartbreaking, and for once this season, Peter Dinklage actually gave a very good performance. The ending was just as satisfying as I predicted. This was easily the best episode of the season, and dare I say it, the best episode to date.Tahmeed Chowdhuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946081425647648210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-88752839737815657562016-06-20T02:17:11.656-04:002016-06-20T02:17:11.656-04:00Thoughts on the episode Louis?Thoughts on the episode Louis?Giuseppe Faddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679521285512613860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-66156736200302349212016-06-19T23:41:48.972-04:002016-06-19T23:41:48.972-04:00Louis: So what made you downgrade Grant's perf...Louis: So what made you downgrade Grant's performance in Penny Serenade to a 4?

That being the stern psychiatrist, to the kinky masochist. Find she managed to bridge the two sides fairly well considering the time constraints on her. I don't think she makes too much of an impact overall on the film, but she gives a good performance.)<br /><br />Tahmeed:<br /><br />He's a 4.5 right now, but I might re-watch the film soon just for him.<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />I don't hate the film anyway, but really it just needed stronger source material. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Barry Lyndon: Paul Thomas Anderson<br />Lawrence of Arabia: Sure Peter Weir<br />Amadeus: Well Milos Foreman. Looking at it I noticed that there really have been very few strong adaptations of plays recently so it's hard to tell who would be a good fit nowadays.
