Man, remember when they had the cast do that media blitz for the final season, and Peter Dinklage was just giving off Hide The Pain Harold vibes for the whole interview? That must have been rough :(
Yeah, that must have been brutal. Some of the actors let a couple of negative sentences slip during those interviews, but I'm sure they weren't allowed to.
I don't know if a single clip shows this better than the reaction of Varys' actor to his characters death. Just imagine having to sit at a table WITH THE SHITHEADS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE for butchering an amazing character you should be remembered for, and not being able to say anything. Fuck.
It was so frustrating because the actors kinda obviously all gave a shit and wanted the show to be good, and D&D just… didn’t.
Absolutely, they still tried to do their best. Makes it all the more disheartening when they really couldn't influence the end result.
