Not at all.

Tywin was amazing. Outside of looks, he is exactly how I picture him in the books.

NCW has been fantastic all the way through.

Somebody that hasnt been mentioned yet is Michelle Fairley. She was amazing as Caitlyn. She really has some acting chops.

Joffrey made you hate him with a passion. Typically when an actor can makes you love/hate them that much, theyve done a nice job. Even more credit bc he was young actor, who typically suck.

I felt like the most part everyone on the show did a very good job. The young actors and actresses really came into their own as well, that could have been a disaster.

original Daario Neharis was a beast as well





And replaced by the worst actor of the entire series. I mean it is unbelievable how bad of an actor the second Daario is.

Played a character that needed swag and it was painful to watch him try and be cool. Hopefully I never see him on screen again.

Still think the best line of all the series and books is when people asked Tyrion how he wanted die!

1) Peter Dinklage (Tyrion)
2) Alfie Allen (Theon)
3) Lena Headey (Cersei)

Dinklage was in a league of his own for sure.

He's an amazing actor.

I'd be curious to see what some of the others could do with better writing. They were absolutely great in earlier seasons.

My favorite scene to this day is Jamie telling Brienne of what happened while they were in the bath. They both had great moments during that scene.

Tywin, Ramsey, and Joffrey were probably the top acts overall IMO.

It was great in season one with the hill tribes. It was terrible in season 8 with Jaime.

While the plot points in general weren't great, the thing that stood out most to me this season were callbacks to things people had said in previous seasons. It was basically repeated dialog and just another example of how lazy the writing had become.

He was really great the whole series despite some of the shitty writing later in the series.

Every major character, for the most part (looking at you Bran and early seasons Sansa), did really well with their parts

I think you could make a case for a lot of people. Lena, Nikolaj, Charles Dance, Jonathan Pryce, Peter Dinklage, Rory. They're all outstanding.

Hard to argue, though it is worth mentioning that he was given the most opportunities to really flex. The Tyrion trial courtroom scene still gets me hyped as frick.

"Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores."

Pound for pound, I don't think Diana Rigg is that far behind. Her "suicide" scene with Jaime is straight gold.

Yep. The "main" cast was amazing this season.

I've been kind of fascinated by the fact that this show hit it's absolute peak this season in acting, cinematography, score, stunts, costumes, set design and almost every other measurable while simultaneously bottoming out completely in writing.

I can't think of another time that's ever happened.

Iwan Rheion did an outstanding job bringing Ramsey Bolton to life on GOT.

If Mick Mars of Motley Crue in real life could have been half as nuts as Ramsey Bolton was on GOT, then just imagine what kind of material he would have had to work with playing him in "The Dirt".

I'm a woman and Oberyn (Pedro Pascal) got me hot for a bisexual man which has never happened before- so I'd say he did pretty well too.
