3:10 cue Curb your Enthusiasm music. Really empathize with this guy as a book reader. Barristan is such an amazing character, and although he will probably die in the books, it looks like he will die heroically in a battle defending his queen, not mugged in an alley
This breaks my heart. Damn, of all the people to have actually read the books. And to have been looking forward to the ABSOLUTELY EPIC chapters with Barristan at the end of ADWD, and then to have them cut out... I hate those show runners and HBO for all of it still, but love almost all the actors involved. Luckily for us most of them have gotten tons and tons of awesome roles since then and we get to keep watching them grow. As for George. I hope he's staying busy. I don't know how many years he has left, or I have left for that matter lol. Not to mention Ian here. He deserves to get his finale for his character. The Winds of Winter are coming one way or the other.
He mentioned about how D & D felt pressure to kill off characters for shock value, but killing off a minor character like Barriston isnt really shocking. Whats more shocking is doing what George does, by making him a surprise PoV. Nobody would expect a background character to suddenly become such a big deal. You need to give a character weight and agency before you give them a surprising end.
Amazing how much stuff really goes down in the backstage world of shows . Script Doctors will tell yah stories you wouldn’t believe of clueless show runners and actors too ... if you like the tea get in the movie biz people lol!
In the books he kills all the harpies effortlessly while thinking about what he was going to do later and is still alive lol the directors were shit they changed too much
This dude knew they were shitty directors back in s5. Man, he was so much smarter than the rest of us.
Directors?
Jesus what a voice... MELT IT DOWN AND ADD IT TL THE OTHERS
HERE, BOY! Just as well that he got out when he did. But yeah, that was some great casting getting Ian for Selmy.
"Here Boy!...melt it down and add it to the others!"
called the King boy and still walked away like a boss

"Here D&D, MELT IT DOWN AND BURN IT WITH THE OTHERS! "

Selmy was a kick arse character who left too early
Old man. Handsome so much.
