Game of Thrones General (Non-Book Related) Discussion Thread - Part 1

Emilia Clarke, of “Game of Thrones,” on Surviving Two Life-Threatening Aneurysms

To summarize...

She had an aneurism after season 1 wrapped. Had brain surgery and suffered aphasia. Spent season 2 recovering and taking morphine. At one point she was taking morphine in between press interviews just to function. The surgery after season 3 failed and she had a second aneurism. They did another major surgery and removed parts of her skull and replaced them with titanium plates and stopped the bleed on her brain. When she went to comicon once she had had surgery only weeks before and spent the whole event suffering an excruciating headache and thinking she was going to die at any second. Then after the event she did an interview with MTV because, and I quote, "if I'm going to go it might as well be on live television."

And she worked during this ordeal. And kept it private. She's ****ing amazing.

Wow, that adds a whole new element to her performance in Season 2. Feel bad now.

 

[Marvolo]

Yeah the fact she was in the show at all past season 1 is pretty damn amazing.

Not only is it amazing that she survived, it's amazing that none of us were any the wiser.

 

[flickchick85]

Wow. To say she's quite a trooper would be an understatement.

 

[Marvolo]

It's also really good on D&D and HBO's part that they accommodated her recovery time and multiple surgeries and pain. And also for not dumping her out of fear. She was a ticking insurance nightmare time bomb for HBO.

Damn.

She really is amazing. I'm surprised with the media being so good at finding out things that nobody had a clue about her condition. I also wonder if this is the reason she had so little screen time in Season Two. I've always thought it was odd how small a storyline she had that year, of course if going by the books, her character didn't have much to do in "A Clash Of Kings" so there was that too.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I still wish that Marcella had survived only to turn her back on her mother and maybe die later on.

Finally gave this read it was shocking, heartbreaking, and ultimately life-affirming. It really gives so much more respect and a new appreciation for Emilia and the fact she's still with us and while going through this nightmare was able to not visibly even skip a beat. Just wow.

Are Ramsay's hounds still in Winterfell? Need to put those little bastids in the vanguard against the Night King.

HBO Announces ‘Game Of Thrones’ Feature-Length Doc; Sets Premiere Date

Spoiler: Spoiler in title of article

Apparently, Lyanna Mormont Doesn't Like Jon Snow's New Girlfriend

 

[Reek]

New trailer Sunday... i think..

love, Reek

 

[Marvolo]

I want to just wait until April 28 to start the season so I can watch this season's whole Winterfell arc in one go rather than have the BS whining from Sansa and the Northern Lords, and the prep for the battle and the battle itself spread over 3 weeks. I just dont think I've got the will power to wait until April 28. Hopefully multiple episodes will leak so I dont have to wait until April 28.

 

[Perfect Cell]

You're a lunatic, Riddle. And that's why I respect you.
