    Aidan is obviously a great actor. The memes if anything are making fun of the script and direction. It’s just weird scene in general.

      Yes, /tv/ even says Nolan is a hack and it's not Aidens fault nor Dr. Pavels. Nolan should shoot himself in the head and Zack Snyder should make a movie about it. That'd be fun

    The memes aren't making fun of Gillen in particular at all. The whole scene is so absurd that it's funny. I hope he doesn't feel like it's people hating on him because it isn't.

    Appreciate when someone advocates "free-form" auditions and acting. I know directors like Wes Anderson ask their cast to hit a few key marks, then between, they can act pretty much however they like -- and it shows, in a good way. Less production, more creation.

    Q: The Knights of the Vale scene was so reminiscent of something from “Lord of the Rings.” Do you think Littlefinger could secretly be Gandalf? Were the similarities ever discussed? Any homages there?
    A: I don’t think Littlefinger and Gandalf are related. There is, of course, that similarity in showing up with the army to save the day at a crucial moment which may have been a homage, but it’s also a common storytelling trope. But nothing discussed, no. Interestingly, well before that Episode 9 scene aired, there was a picture circulated and widely reported on of Littlefinger allegedly wearing a watch in a sequence in The Vale. Gandalf has also been pictured wearing a watch while wielding a sword in “LOTR.” This could mean they both have some kind of common system going on, but while I can’t vouch for Gandalf, I could see straight away that my picture, while well executed, was very obviously mocked up from an image from the opening sequence of “Dark Knight Rises.” That’s where the hands and watch come from - they’re mine, but from something else. They even threw in a belt that wasn’t there and besides, I’ve never worn a watch in real life, so that could never have happened anyway. I don’t know about Ian McKellen’s watch, but it’s always nice to be in stellar company on CZcams mashups.
    He knew it way before that

This distracted me the entire show. Other than that I completely love the wire though. One of my favorite shows ever ❤️❤️❤️
