Non-Sirius Post # The Lannister Imp

With the fast approaching end of April comes the World famous and possibly one of the largest Sitcom-Fandom’s much awaited Game of Thrones Season 6.

One of the biggest TV Shows to ever be conceived and followed by millions of every caste, creed, nation, nationality and language. Game of Thrones is at the 2nd spot among the many shows I watch after BBC Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Like you have already guessed my favorite character from GoT is Tyrion Lannister played by the talented Peter Dinklage. That guy personifies big things come in small packages. His acting as the hated son, reviled brother and womanizing drunk of epic proportions has managed to win the hearts of nearly everyone desperately praying to George R.R. Martin to NOT kill his character. But considering the deaths of everyone loved by the audience from Eddard “Ned” Stark to Jon Snow, we don’t have much in the way of hope anyway.

The Imp has been continuously hated and loved for his carefree nature, sharp wit, ability to remain calm in desperate situations, honor (mostly shown by his sympathy towards Sansa’s plight on being married to him) and most of all for his ability to show Joffrey his place as the scum he was before his tragic (Not Really!) death. His recent patricide didn’t even dent his reputation especially considering his vicious heartless father and the way Shay broke his heart (Never should’ve trusted that bitch. I knew she was trouble the moment I saw her!).

The most brilliant piece of acting done by Peter Dinklage is during the trial of Tyrion Lannister which is a farce conducted by Tyrion and Cersei Lannister where they use Shay against him. His absolute hatred for his family is depicted brilliantly and he truly shines as the star he is when he demands a Trial By Combat though the Trial itself is royally screwed up by the Idiocy of Oberyn when instead of finishing off his opponent he toys with him instead (The moron should have simply taken his revenge on the Mountain and waited for a chance to finish of Tywin later!)

The thing that made me at least partially happy, about his escape, was his appointment as adviser to the Naive Khaleesi who has yet to learn that Westeros is no place for Idealists. His cynical view of the world along with his experience as Hand of King made him more than qualified for his new position as the future Hand of the Mother of Dragons (Which are completely out of her control I tell you). The only thing we can hope for now is that George makes him the future King of Westeros and not just the Lord of Casterly Rock the seat of Lannisters.

And one thing I just CANT wait for is when he repays his debt to Cersei for her diabolical schemes against her own little brother. (I mean really who blames a child for the death of their mother DURING child birth?? And further for being a midget. The only one to blame is the Father whose genes he actually inherited!)

While I won’t be able to watch the episodes immediately due to my upcoming exams. I do hope to have at least avoid the spoilers so that I can enjoy them once my exams end on 16th May!

Please note that while I do read books, I have yet to actually read the series of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. So all my knowledge as stated above is based on the TV Series. I hope to acquaint myself with the series as soon as I clear my aforementioned exams!

CHEERS!

Random Thought 2# Never Ending Questions

Recently while watching an episode of The Magicians (A TV series based on a couple of students learning about magic and its dangers at a school called Brakesville while exploring the dangers of an alternate world called Fillory), I was reminded of that kid who played Justin Timberlake’s nephew in the movie Friends With Benefits.
In the movie, if you havent seen it, he is an aspiring Magician who tries to impress his family with simple tricks and a few complicated ones like magic fire or the woman in the box which are barely successful (if not outright failures) and I immediately began wondering if he ever becomes a Magician… or does he become something else…

Movies and Sitcoms often has such side characters which are there on screen only for a short duration but at some point I wonder what they finally did with their lives… Did they accomplish their dreams? Grow up and decide their dreams were too stupid? What did Kevin from Home Alone do after he grew up? And what happened to his cousins?
And when I talk about these characters, I dont mean the actors who played them but the Characters themselves. TV series that have long since ended like White Collar and Small Wonder… What did Mozzie do with his money? What did Neal do in Paris? And Peter? What about him? Did he become happier and lived a better life knowing Neal was still alive? Did he ever tell Elizabeth?

So many questions remain unanswered even when a series ends. Whether it be a series of scenes which make a movie, events which make a book,  or episodes which make a Sitcom..

Cheers!
