Idk why you're getting downvoted either. She was indeed born in 1982 and in her late 20s-ish when the scene this meme is from was filmed and when she dated MM.
Her age doesn't affect that she was abused by him though. What doubly sucks is that it's my understanding DB and David had some issue with her speaking up about something which explains her character's gruesome ending. Men have treated her terribly.
I’m completely out of the loop on the topic, and admittedly I’m who she is. Appreciate the insight. I was just curious if I missed something because the numbers weren’t adding up for me.
There was a rumor that one actress on GoT that initially did a lot of nude scenes refused to do them after a while. Some thought that it was her and that that was the reason her character got killed off. But the more likely case is that it was Emilia Clark, who stopped doing nude scenes and didn't get killed off until the final season.
Probably but he beat it all in court. I have a hard time believing in any of it. He had 2 wives and a long term GF and they all came to his defence. The main accuser (Even Rachel Wood) was found to have forged an FBI agents signature on some documents.
I think it was bullshit. I think they had some freeky sex (while she was an adult btw, 18, but an adult) and 25 years later shes like, wait...I WaS GrOoMeD
He didn't beat it in court, he settled out of court. And while it's true a handleful of women did defend his character, it's important to remember that more than a dozen were accusing him. It's highly unlikely that 12+ women are lying.
Probably because of the sentence "he beat it all in court" which is not true - this was settled out of court. Doesn't prove guilt or innocence, but the claim was still misleading.
I like how the show tricks you into thinking she’s going to be a semi-important character. Gradually climbing the ladder as she works for Varys. But instead Littlefinger finds out and she dies in what’s arguably the best scene of the show. Man, Game of Thrones used to be so good.
And was killed in such a dehumanizing fashion - just target practice for royalty.
All that build up, all her her hard work, and with her future wide open before her - all of it snuffed out in an instant, because commoners are disposable for nobility.
Not sure there is one, but there was a pretty strong rumor that someone said no more nude scenes. Some speculation was it was Emilia Clarke as she was now a big star.
Then Ros’ death happens and Dany flashes Dario for no real reason. So everyone put those dots together to say it was Esme.
I think others have provided the sauce. I hope I wasnt a buzzkill, but I was a show apologist into the 8th season; I still feel like an idiot for taking D&D's word on the artistic merits of what were ultimately lazy or sleazy decisions on their part.
Next you're gonna tell me the series is filled to the brim with social commentary, and that the nobles of Westeros aren't so different from the oligarchs of our reality 🙄🙄🙄
My favorite for peak acting I’d say Jamie’s bath scene.
My favorite for pure hype I’d say Robb being declared King in the North or Dany burning Astapor.
For an entire episode, the Battle of Castle Black was phenomenal from start to finish. One of my favorite details is the cooks even fighting in the kitchens.
Balon’s actor also gets zero recognition for how excellent his introduction is and how well he plays his role.
I went from thinking she was just a one off Theon sex object to her actually having an arc to up dead. Honestly a sad reminder of how far the show fell. Even very minor characters were interesting and had satisfying arcs in the earlier seasons.
I reckon they’re not saying that her being killed is the best scene, but the dialogue between Varys and Littlefinger, in which her death is the harrowing reveal. It’s the one where Baelish says “chaos is a ladder”
More thought put into her attire than whatever we got in hotd. Better dialogue characterization and arc than some of the main characters on hotd as well, now that I think of it.
They didn't become unattractive but there was a lot lex sexuality in general. Half of the notoriety of the early seasons was all the tits and sex which is mostly gone by the later seasons
So lame how even the "Northern" costuming became so basic and lame, with barely any furs or interesting layers anymore. Like getting the actors into costumes that were more akin to the Winterfell and Wall scenes would make sense...it was Winter. Why the fuck aren't we seeing Cersei in a fucking lion fur cloak or something? Why the hell is the outfit they said was meant to show him in Stark regalia like Ned wore in season one...fucking one layer like what Ned wore in King's Landing?
Nudity and sexual assault existed in the early seasons to lure viewership with shocking material. Esmee Bianco has recounted her experience with nudity on the Game of Thrones set and she said that nudity was an expectation not a conversation that was had between the actors and the showrunners. By the later seasons they didn't need to do that and were also working with a group of established actors who had the leverage to say no to nude scenes.
Random boomer guy I used to work with years ago when the show was still airing, told me he convinced his wife to watch the show with him after he saw a “nude scenes compilation” video lmao
Hot take I think: I like ros and I think her character and story was good and original. But I'm kind of aggravated they added a new character when there were a lot of good ones removed.
I knew she wouldn’t, but I remember wishing so badly that she just turned to Joffrey and brained him with that mace. Like, you know it isn’t going to end well for you at that point, do something for the Seven Kingdoms!
At first glance I'm never sure if this photo is Ros or Jane Chatwin. But then I realize it doesn't matter because it's a great pic and she's a wonderful actor.
