2013: Did you ever order a latte and it arrived on set of Game of Thrones?
2019: Yes, yes I did.
Wyatt Gwyon seriously, too many lattes on set!
Wyatt stop L.oL!!! Wel said!
Damn son :D That sick burn, I better grab my bottle of water under my Chair.
@@P5YCHO9 Two. There two bottles of water to be found in the final episode.
Spoilers. SPOILEEERS!!!
Peter Dinklage stole this whole interview. And I thought the woman who played Caitlin Stark was going to pass out with laughter.
+Jim Gouger I saw the same!
She didnt have much to say, but much to laugh :D
I thought this, too! But, I loved Michelle's throaty laughter. Peter was amazingly funny, but her laughter made me laugh even harder. She's got a great laugh.
when nikolaj said his mom had read the books, i was going to join her. yes she laughs very well, but "my mom's read the books" means something different when it means your mom knows you've been hooking up w/your sister.
@@SmokingVProzac420 her voice has changed so much tho and I think it’s from smoking idk tho if it was a choice tho because if you listen to her softer voice in the 90’s even early 2000’s it’s so wired how it’s not husky and low but meh as long as she’s got her cute Irish accent .
lol Jaime Lannister reminds me of Prince Charming from Shrek...
Jeez I never thought about that but you're right!! Knew he reminded me of someone... XD
I think this was the nagging feeling i had when I first saw him, from where I saw him before.
OMG YES
He is the guy from New Amsterdam, isn't he?
Exactly what I thought haha
Ok but, Lena's comment about Cersai wanting to be Jamie makes so much damn sense
I'm certain someone who read the books told her that.
@@PalashaGabarraYup. Likely the show writers. If not then that's impressive ti come to that conclusion herself.
Nikolaj : My mum read the books...
I lost it xD
What's the joke? I don't get it
Quacker7179 Well Maisie Williams(Arya Stark) said that her Mom read the books for her as it contains some sexual stuff.
So Nikolaj(Jaimie Lannister) says that his mom read the books for him aswell and that she made a good summary xD
Knudd3lKuh The best part is the completely straight face after he said it. It made it even more hilarious.
Screen Addicts Yeah I can't stop watching that part hahahaha
At 1:18:20 in case anybody was wondering :)
George is just watching these actors explain who they would like on the iron throne and he's just like nope he/she dies
+majenta collis He just continually evokes Tolkien's name, then compares
himself to him(going so far as to literally adding an initial in his name in imitation), then minimizes and dogs out those works. Really..
If Tolkien's and others works are 'just a bunch of good guys' coming together to fight
evil' aka no complexity, etc, if that's really your takeaway, then just stop writing right now; you need to re-read the entire genre you are supposedly 'transcending'. And quit posing off of, then proceeding to dog-out the
predecessors that made YOU possible, since you can't seem to do it on
your own. Get your own schtick, and stop riding on the coat-tails, then
dogging out ppl who did it better than you, before you.
+Goldhelmriel ^ my apologies i accidentally replied to your message instead of posting a thread of my own. Your response is very right on for GRM comments about his own works. At least he's actually talking about them in their own right, instead of pretending.
+Goldhelmriel
I certainly agree with you. Simplifying Tolkien's world to the point of "good versus evil" is nothing more than an insult to the huge diversity of morals and characteristics that portray each hero/race. In Silmarillion there are a lot of elf nobles or kings whose character is questionable at the very least, or their choices don't resemble those of a "purely good" being. Similarly, in lotr there are races and characters who are neutral, or side with the "evil" forces without being "evil" themselves, or fight between themselves for power and wealth. How would you classify gollum's role for example? So, even if you focus exclusively on the nature of Tolkien's heroes, you can't diminish all of them to "good and bad", adopting a black and white perspective. Now, also keep in mind, that Tolkien's world is a much larger universe under constant change as it evolves through time, so focusing on every house's or race's political intrigues with so much detail would be simply impossible and hugely time consuming to the point of boredom. That however doesn't mean there isn't any political intrigues at all. Just look at the relations of each kingdom or race in lotr. Ever wondered how did they come to that?
I don't know. I respect Tolkien's world just for the amount of detail particularly regarding his language research. I love it for how he portrayed his work in a fascinating and astonishing way that keeps one interested, despite the depth of lore, mythology and detail behind it. And he didn't do it for a living, neither did he ever intend or actually see his works being portrayed through media. And that's one of the reasons his world doesn't need so much sex and over the top erotic scenes to draw public's attention. He didn't seek public attention.
Now, instead of giving him the credits for the establishment of what was considered an "unknown childish story telling" as a whole new genre of fictional fantasy world, his work is being diminished to a "good versus evil" story and labeled as a "childish tale" because of that aspect. I'm sorry, but no child can fully appreciate the folklore of Tolkien's world, neither admire to the full extent the brilliance of his academic language creation/mixture.
In other words, Goldhelmriel is bloody right!
I know its a long time since you wrote this but i'll comment anyway. 1. Tolkiens world is alot more "Good vs evil" than game of thrones is. 2. Tolkiens world might be huge, but so its GRRM's world and timeline! I mean, how much do you hear about the first men, the andals, the giants, the children of the forest, the long night, the conquest and all of the targaryen kings, the doom of valyria and the many dragonlords, the breaking and i could go on and on! We never hear much about the third continent or Sothoryos or the Yi Ti empire which existed a long time to the east but all of this is still written history! I havn't even mentioned half of the history here. If i will i can also find the official family tree of the targaryens going all the way back to the conquest 300 years before the story takes place. I can find the tree of the starks and lannisters aswell. I find this very interesting as we only follow this storyline over 5 years or so. 3. GRRM did himself mention that he is bad with languages and therefor for most of the time just wrote "He said in dothraki" or something like that but still for the sake of the HBO series they hired the LCS to make the many languages like Dothraki, High Valyrian and Astapori Valyrian out of what they could get from the words in the book and there is still other languages planned for the future. 4. You gotta understand that it isn't the "sex and over the top erotic scenes" that attracts the many game of thrones fans but rather the many storylines, the depth of them and much more.
Goldhelmriel i
It's ironic that Kit is the only one who has read the books. Jon Snow knows!
Jon Snow knows nothing; Kit Harrington knows all...!
@lisa gaye To be fair they don't know what he knows, so they assume he knows nothing.
B Gill I haven’t watched the last two episodes yet so thank you for no spoilers 👍
And gave props to always sunny
TheCoolerChannel that comment was 5 years so old so they’re couldn’t have been a spoiler if ur on or were on the last two episodes.
Jon Snow and Catelyn Stark sttng next to each of other.
Half Life 3 confirmed.
haha
half life 3 is already confirmed so those jokes are pointless
DerBegginBlue yes
Pwo fesi so serious lol
^^ This is why I look at CZcams comments.
I love how Michelle is just dying of laughter on every question xD
Look up Gwendoline Christie's laugh (Brienne)
Queen of Thorns its mad how Gwendoline laughs
Lol 4 years after and yh
It's so weird listening to catelyn stark laugh like that
Ooo
Lena should have won an Emmy, like multiple times over now.
It's really a crime that she hasn't. (Yet)
Michele should have won an Emmy.
She played a magnificent albeit short role in 300 too.
@kkandsims4612 actually both. It's a shame those two incredible women didn't got the attention they deserved. Just because they're not american.
If Charles Dance did win one, I don't really care who else didn't win one.
Michelle Fairley's laugh is just gorgeous
+Adir Yitzchaky I watch this many times just to hear it! Its so beautiful.
Oh she is absolutely fabulous. Laugh and all.
Has very sexy voice. I love this Lady.
I’m in love
Michelle is gorgeous
Peter Dinklage is a funny bastard lol
***** All dwarves are bastards in their fathers' eyes.
LATTEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Lena Headey's legs!!
Really? I think he sounds like the stereotype drunken uncle trying to hard to be funny.
@@georgemikal7345 😂
Am i the only loser watching this after the show is over?!
yes you are my friend. Wait..what am i doing here
Haha. Pity how it ended though. Wait what side are you on ? Reveal yourself.
You ether win the game or die. Or.......be a loser, you are not alone, fren.
Nope
I am here too ;)
Lena Headey has the best laugh/smile ever.
DaemoniumCC Don't forget about those legs.
43:28 "I do play all the characters!" -George RRM. Great answer! xD
i wish there was interview with each member of the family, like all the starks together in one interview and the lannisters in another. that will be awesome!
Hey u have got it 😄
Wow this aged perfectly.
Family Feud!
Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjb
Can anyone please share the link of the video of that whole reunion interview.. I can't find it anywhere on youtube, it got removed probably.
Lol George says "Im so far ahead of the series". This didnt age very well.
he was so aloof it almost hurts... its really funny to come back to this event 6 7 years after we first saw it ... IM SO FAR AHEAD LOL george , prescient as always...
@@dmp1520 i dont like george he's a nasty man
@lady galadriel yeah but they didnt even try, they had lots of money and when push came to shove ,they didnt even try to make an ending worthy of anything, the ammount of episodes is proof enough in itself
@@danielbyrne5402 you're damn right
@lady galadriel lack of source material? There are so many plotlines abandoned from the novels that couldve taken up at least 2 extra seasons. Dorne could've been a whole season in itself!
it doesn't matter how many people are laughing at the same time, you can always tell Michelle Fairley from the rest, such a powerful voice
It’s because she has a mic
@@marcosharko8247 they all have a mic….
She sounds like a chain smoker.
Thats just you, mate.
@@PalashaGabarrastill sounds better than you
george and michelle have the best laughs ever lol
***** maisie.
Mert Su she's talking about "Catelyn Stark"
maurodp99ify Mert is talking about Maisie having the best laugh.
If Conleth Hill is funnier than Peter Dinklage, they must have a lot of fun on set, since Peter is already hilarious.
+wildsmiley From the few interviews I've seen of him, Peter wasn't exaggerating. Conleth is insanely funny.
john bradley is very funny, too.
Jim Knopf Yeah he's hilarious
no shit sherlock
"It's a story about loss. What each character loses along the way." Yeah, a head maybe?
So Dany will lose her Dragons?
Repins Watson I think Dany would choose her dragons over the kingdom... at least its how i sometimes see it.
monikavec A penis.
Repins Watson
nah Ser jorah will kill Danny at the end.
Gurucha also that
Oh..MY God. Guys. Nikolaj/Jaime Lannister is 100% the blonde, cheesy yet ATTRACTIVE Prince Charming FROM SHREK!!! Who agrees?!
definitely
Literally my first thought when I saw him during the pilot
Yes exactly whahaa
Not anymore...
Peter.D Lena.H and Nikolaj.C-W are hilarious! Love them, and love there character!
*their
Emmy Berry Hey! The english are funny too!
Lily Mason Hahah sur ;)
Emmy Berry If you held a match against British and American comedians the British would win. We have some seriously brilliant comedians compared to them.
Lily Mason Sure I think there are amazing comedians in America, and in England
I like the host, he seems genuinely interested.
He also had a great show. Watch it.
Sorry. I'm on a phone. That's what I meant.
he control the whole thing ina very balance in many levels
Really? I think he’s a horrible interviewer/host.
@@johnhuang2771 Yeah, the balance is crucial. It's really sad to watch a convention where six people from some show arrive and during one hour, two of them are talking constantly, three get to say a few things and one gets to answer one fan question. I've even seen instances where one actor spent an hour without even saying a word, because fans were always asking questions to more popular characters (I might be wrong, but I think it was Denise Crosby aka Tasha Yar in some Trek convention).
Michele's voice & laugh is so unique. You can pick it out of all the crowds cheering
Pretty much all the comments summed up:
Michelle's laugh is hilarious.
Peter should be a comedian.
Lena is hot.
Spoilers.
Kit marry me.
Omg Maisie/Sophie is so cute.
And Jaime is the prince charming from Shrek.
Lena is hot .
@@travisz11 you are gross....
@@miss1of2 don't judge asshole. i'd do the same
I was really thinking to myself too, "Lena is hot". Not just of her appearance but her aura and over all demeanour.
Its weird feeling nostalgic for something that feels so recent. God I miss seasons 1-4.
I mean it's been a decade since those seasons, nostalgia is allowed to happen 10 years later.
Michelle's laugh is so authentic, makes me laugh every single time
It might be authentic, but fuck me if it isn't annoying. Bless her.
"Like with Massie my mum read the books." - Nikolaj. HAHAHAHAA!!!
at 22:09, Michelle looks so *proud* of Maisie, like it's her own daughter, and I think that's precious!
michelle is such a mom, even richard (robb) called her mom on set
@@corsicanlulu She really is ae, ironically enough Michelle doesn't have any children of her own in real life. Which is an incredible testament to her convincing portrayal as a fierce and loyal mother.
Saffron Belle and she oddly plays a shit ton of moms
Which is weird because she never had one single solitary scene with Maisie during the show. Not ONE. Her own mother. Mindblowing.
Only Jon has read the books. How ironic.
Jon knows nothing but knows everything.
lena headey is awesome. her standard face expression alone is so damn evil.
Resting bitch face lol
MICHELLS FAIRLEYS LAUGHTER IS AWESOME
oh my gosh peter dinklage is so funny.
true
He is such a bad ass I love that little dude.
lol yeh and he is only dwarf
wtf? "he is only a dwarf"?
dw I was just mocking you
Hahaha! Everytime there's laugheter you can hear Catelyn Stark louder than the others.
Through half the panel George R.R. Martin is menacingly looking at the crowd thinking of which characters to kill.
He is actually like a Serial Killer at this point.
even though the show kills people that are alive in the books
DesiPanda674 Still doesn't make him not a serial killer.
Upper Case of course, was just adding
Cool! That makes him...interesting.
More like a god ya know
Oh when Jamie says his mom read the books.
What a guy.
George and Michelle both have such a lovely laugh, it's impossible to not laugh with them
Peter Dinklage is literally my favorite person ever
when lena said that cersei wants to BE jaime my freakin mind blew
It's quite ironic because she hasn't read the books and it's the most accurate thing about her character
True
The reaction of the crowd was pretty lukewarm but it makes complete sense
Certainly the smartest comment about one of the characters I heard from the cast during this panel. Smart and beatiful :)
where was this depth of insight in her commentaries? I guess it's what they say about actors uncomfortable seeing themselves on screen.
The camera work is killing me it's so bad.
Oh Maisie, sweet innocent child. If you are going to play Daenarys you are going to ride more things than horses...
LOL. I HOPE you mean dragons by that statement!
Lollipopfop Haha "Dragons" doesn't really make it sound any better.
Everyone was thinking that thanks to what Peter said earlier xD
You do realize that Maisie plays Arya and NOT Daenarys, right? Emilia something or other plays Daenarys Targeryon, the Mother of Dragons.
Cynthia Moore Clarke
Michelle Fairley's laugh is beautiful!
I wonder what the guy editing this thing was thinking...
a 90 minute game of thrones interview, and the bleeps out some swears, as if a game of thrones viewer would be phased
Its youtube.
chicagoparker it’s the internet
@@bensepulveda212 It's Also CZcams.
Austin Ford I’m emphasising the same point 😂 yes CZcams is on the Internet
39:36
David Benioff's story about Jason Mamoa...
*THE GREATEST STORY I'VE EVER HEARD EVAR!*
Arya: just trying to get home
Also Arya: kills the night king 🔪 👑 ❄
Holy legs, Lena
When George says "I do play all the characters." WHOA. lol
Oh My God, I love Peter Dinklage!
"Fortunately my books are so far ahead of the series"
That dates it
I never new Peter Dinklage before game of thrones and he is an amazing actor. He's one of my favorit characters in the series. Cool guy!
Watch death at a funeral, the original British version
BeardedDudeFromSpace
Wait is that the movie where a few couples marry and one of the 'group's' friends dies? It's with that one actor. Damn, what's his name. The guy who was caught with a prostitue in America.
Goddammit I forgot his name too.
Ill google it haha. I'll definitely check it out! Thx...
It a takes place in one day and at a funeral, and is very funny, has the guy who played Wash from Firefly in it
BeardedDudeFromSpace Death at a Funeral is the name of the movie
BeardedDudeFromSpace He's in the 2010 version as well, and it has Keith David and Chris Rock :V
David Benioff's cheekbones could cut glass.
he looks like Moses from Princ of Egypt cartoon
hooooooooly shit
His beard trim angle helps
Peter Dinklage is a legend
It’s hilarious seeing Sophie say Robb stark deserves the throne “good at the politics of it.” His politics is what got him killed😂
I mean his battle plans and his actions before breaking his word with the freys were amazing. The way he tricked Tywin and captured Jamie. Sure, he made mistakes but other people also screwed him another. Him sending Theon away, Catelyn releasing the Kingslayer, Edmure attacking the Lannister Army at Riverun. Sending Theon away caused him to lost Winterfell and as far inland as Moat Catlin. Bran and Rickon as well. He believes them to be dead so he lost both of his possible heirs. Catelyn lost their most valuable host and away they would have to been away to sue for peace. Edmure attacking the Lannister host caused them to lose an advantageous position and they weren't able to take out the mountain. Robb marrying a camp follower screwed him over with the Freys.
I just love the way the world is written and even if someone fixed one thing. Someone already did something else to make the ending events the same. Imagine if Edmure listened to Robb and they killed the mountain as well as destroyed another Lannister Host. Oberyn wouldn't have had to fight the mountain and Tyrion might have won his freedom.
If Theon wasn't sent to his father. The Greyjoy would still call a rebellion though they wouldn't be as bold to attack Winterfell as it's too far inland and Bran and Rickon would have been safe in the walls. And Robb would still have his heirs safe and secure.
The Freys would have been reminded of the power and strength of the North and might have backed out of the red wedding and even if they didnt. Bran could have still continued the war with those loyal to the Starks.
Arya could have went to the twins and she would have been safe and probably sent back to Winterfell by her mother and Robb. He would have learned that Ceresi lied and any leverage they would have over that gone.
The possibilities are endless and it always keeps me thinking what if
His foolishness did
Still a better story than Bran the Broken
@@SethLovesMovies for sure the ending is ass
No it was his heart that got him killed.
As a hardcore GOT fan, I am not ashamed to say that I was fangirling along with the crowd at every moment.
2 and a half years later...still no winds of winter.
+checkthapain 3 years and counting
Lol
6 years and counting
Make that 7 years
4 years since this comment, and still no winds of winter.
This guy was actually one of the better moderators, aside from when GRRM does it himself.
zopiclone199 I don't know if you know or not, but he's the creator of it's always sunny in Philadelphia. He's a brilliant man.
SchrodingerE Yea, I am not familiar with the show, but I think he mentioned he had a show and that it was nominated for something at some point during this session.
zopiclone199 He was upset about the lack of nominations actually haha
zopiclone199 Really? I've watched just 16 minutes so far, and his awkwardness and inability to pose good questions (or to let the actors joke and not try to roll with it himself too much) has made this so uncomfortable for me that I think I'm going to have to stop watching. I wish someone could just get the actors talking freely instead of the constant stop-start half-jokes and mugging. And yes, he's great on Always Sunny and I think he is talented.
***** I find his questions (somewhat) interesting. You can only ask the same questions so many times before it gets tiresome, and his weren't bad. Considering this took place just after season 2 (I think, could be wrong), there is also only so many questions that can be asked. I also don't find him as irritating as many of the other moderators I've seen in the Comicon clips. GRRM is by far the best moderator so far, but he only did it once.
It's a panel--no one ever talks "freely" unless they hog all the airtime (that's why you need a moderator). And given how tight-lipped they all have to be about future development of the show (especially when there are always idiot audience members who ask such questions even when they have been pre-told not to ask such questions), they can never "talk freely."
So yes, "really."
fucking lannisters man
awesome on the show and awesome in real life.
especially the brothers!
Sansa is soo beautiful
Sophie Turner was a one of a kind redhead UK girl
52:35 look how quickly arya's face changes when robb is mentioned
oh I hadn't noticed that lol, but I guess the Red Wedding had probably just been filmed at this point since the interview is going into season 3
nam flashbacks
I think maybe she was also going to say Robb, so she was like "oh, shit, I have to think about something else to say" cus she looked like she was really thinking hard while "sansa" was talking.
Omg What I would give to have a drink with Peter Dinklage! What a guy!
Female fan here!!! The ONLY reason I watch any TV is GoT.
*****
Yeah I totally agree. Tv is one long commercial with brainless stuff. This series is high quality with a real awesome story, amazing characters and overall masterfully crafted. If it wasn't for series like this, among a few others, there simply wouldn't be much left to watch.
But as I hate commercials I don't watch somethign as cool as got in television. This is art and you cannot interrupt art with pathetic commercials. No matter what you say it's wrong hehe.
*****
Let Us Gather... You should watch vikings, its really good, you would probably like it if you like GOT.
Let Us Gather... why did you say "female fan" ?
I think the panel said something about girls not liking the show...been awhile.
Lena is so pretty! :)
Michelle's laugh is so contagious! 1:18:20 mark is just EPIC!
it's like the cameraman is 5 seconds behind the conversation...
the editing is shit. they have multiple cameras on different people at all times. notice how the camera doesn't pan when transitioning from each person. editing is slow
after watching the entire show twice, Alfie Allen & Lena Headey are the 2 greatest actors in this show. Alfie's performance is actually earth-shattering and I'm left in awe after some scenes (particularly when he has succumbed to Stockholm syndrome and acts fearful of Ramsay Bolton). they arent my favorite characters in the show; mind you, but the acting was just incredible. I mention Lena Headey because I don't think any actor/actress is so different from their character as Headey is from hers. she's so kind and funny in real life and to on a dime be able to transform your whole mood and face into something so stern & malevolent is again amazing.
George Rail Road Martin seems so down to earth
SirCouchus Well its hard to take off for a guy like him
I could listen to Maisie Williams and George R R Martin laugh all day long.
this is much interesting one half hour than the episodes of season 8
Agreed
michelle's laugh is beyond hilarious and george's demeanor is so cute it's kind of weird to think that he's murdered 100+ characters. and sophie and maisie's friendship is adorable.
I love Peter Dinklage's best fan encounter story!
Where is iiit
+Slumberous forests 58:15
Astroturf pants!
I wanna see that photo
Benioff with the Momoa story and Dinklage saying that he'd play Daenerys made my day!
look at how young maisie and sophie were 😍
how hard is it to film the person who is speaking???
One way to do it is to pan the camera.
that moment when cersei looks like a 17 y.o girl
Maisie should marry me.
Sophie is sarcastic bae.
Kit is pure.
Nikolaj is mr. Mystic.
Peter is a lovely comedian.
Lena is humble.
Michelle proud mommy.
Ps: I adore those people.
totally agree!!!!same feelings!
I finished the show for the first time recently and it has stuck with me in a way very few shows have been able to accomplish in my life. I feel like it’ll always be a part of me and remain a goal for other shows to aspire towards. I’ll miss these characters greatly.
Lol. I'm glad to hear television shows are accomplishing things in your life.
Smallest man, largest applause. Even more than the man that created his character.
Love this
David Beniof looks like he could be in the show....
Stephen Anna Marydas he is really handsome isnt he
There's a reason he is married to Amanda Peet
It's Always Sunny in Westeros :D
Everytime you think the interview is getting cold, Peter just lights it up. Hilarious guy. :D
One thing that Martin does better than Tolkien is female characters.I think Tolkien himself would admit that. I am pleased with Peter Jackson's efforts to remedy that in the LOTR films.
Valkyrie Sardo Tolkien would obviously admit that, but the two authors are complete opposites in writing styles, and Tolkien's time was one where women weren't as equal as men, thus giving the power to men in those books. Whereas Martin sets it during a time where women don't get it easy as men but can still have their own sense of strength with haracters like Catelyn and Cersei.
Tolkien's skill in writing didn't come from the characters, but the world itself. The language was fleshed out the maps were fleshed out it was all believeable, thats what other fantasy authors try to capture when creating fictional worlds with so much detail that you can actually be immersed in it.
fuaudiha ajksdajwe I agree with that entirely. Although I believe women are in the same, sexist situations in both books, however with Tolkien the women aren't particularly successful despite the situations, whereas in Game of Thrones women, with difficulty, are able to gain power. RR Martin showcasing many female characters obviously helps with this.
This by no means means Tolkien was sexist though - it's likely he just wanted a story about men, or he knew it was unrealistic for women to have this positions in society. Furthermore, due to the 'age' he was in, a book with a female, successful lead, may not have been as successful because readers would have seen it as stupid for a female to have power - perhaps it was entirely a money-based decision.
And while I praise Tolkien's way with words, I also have to say that RR Martin's dialogue is absolutely incredible. The way they speak is beautiful.
Yep, but also have to take into account the social climates at the time of both's writings. They would've impacted those things somewhat I feel
Catelyn has the funniest laugh.
peter is just like tiryon xD
15:18 "braklbrlkjab brab Starbucks" LMAOLOL

That's really a strange coincidence.
16:00 well... it's is glorious. 'I'ts been glorious for a while" OMG I LOLED so hard.
I missed Sean Bean
They were so close to making a CLASSIC
Peter Dinklage! Love that guy!
Peter Dinklage absolutely dominated this interview with comedy lol.
God Michelle Fairley's voice is to die for. She's very gorgeous, too; so are all the women on the Game of Thrones cast. All blessed with good looks really, even the men, especially the actor who plays Stannis and Iain Glen.
Stephen Dillane plays Stannis
YESSSSSSSS FRICKIN IAIN GLEN AND JORAH IS FLAWLESS!!!! He plays him so well. and he's got killer cheekbones! Iain Glen FTW
Sean Beans potrayal of Ned made me crush on him hard and Stephens portrayal of Stannis. I like how he grinds his teeth lol
Sophie Turner is just beautiful
I love how George let slip the fact that others will be on the throne before the story ends. That's a big one!
I love Michelle's laugh. Also, Peter is the man.
The first 4 seasons are the best season ever in tv history!
Am I the only one who thinks that Jamie Lannisters actor looks like a real life version of prince charming from shrek?
Holy shit.
it's quite ironic when Sophie said Rob and Cat are good with politics. LOL
+zhenglue huang they were. just, as any teenager, robb let his heart choose
Northern politics Robb is actually decent if presented with many bad choices. Of course I'm also of the opinion no one could have seen the red wedding coming. Pretty unprecedented and awful.
The lannisters send their regards.
Peter is %1000 amazing, he had the loudest cheer when walking onstage and really shon throughout the panel, he's definitely a force to be reckoned with 💕
