im curious for non book reading watchers how obvious it was that prince jofrey wasn't roberts son, cause it was a pretty clever twist in the book but maybe it was too obvious in the tv series?
The clues are there but there is so much other stuff going on and attention isn't really drawn to the clues. Not to mention that the whole issues of the succession isn't really mentioned that much, I mean it is but you don't expect anything to come of it any time soon and just kinda put all that stuff in the big bin marked "noble arsehole."
I certainly didn't catch it until the reveal.
The only actor I really can't get warm with is Jon Snow, but ahh, can't be everything nearly perfect.
Yeah, most of the other actors either through their own skill or the writing create some kind of feeling be it positive or negative, but Snow is just kinda...there...
I'm far more interested in the other Night's Watch.
Part of it may be that his "tough background" which we are meant to feel sorry for pretty much all happens off screen, apart from being called Bastard now and then. Not to mention the number of ways he gets put in his place during the Watch training which shows how much worse many of the others have had it.
He isn't "evil" or annoying enough to hate though he is arrogant at times, he isn't downtrodden or unskilled enough to get underdog sympathy, and he hasn't really done much that is "good" except for saving the pups and protecting the fat guy.
From a writing standpoint he is a very neutral character, whether that is affecting the actor, or the actor is just very kinda average too I don't know.
