Curtain Call: Alexander Siddig, DeObia Oparei, and Toby Sebastian
A guest Curtain Call by Jared Kozal
Game of Thrones is a program that does what great art should always do under the best circumstances. It inspires fervent passion, spirited debate, lively engagement, and intelligent analysis. Above all, it engenders a deep and abiding sense of love – for the characters, for the story, and for everyone who works behind the scenes and in front of the camera to bring that vision to life. With such love inevitably comes the potential for heartbreak and disappointment when that story takes an unexpected turn, and the dreams that many may have harbored for certain characters are dashed. In such turbulent moments, the often-blurry line between this fictional world and our very real emotions can all but disappear. At that time, it is important to step back and separate the art that thrills, surprises and often horrifies us from the artists who dedicate their talents towards achieving that end.
The sun has set on House Martell, but three stars are rising to join the grand constellation of luminaries who have departed from the world of Game of Thrones. Their names are Alexander Siddig, DeObia Oparei, and Toby Sebastian. As they head off towards new and exciting ventures, carrying with them the memories of their time on the show, they deserve the best sendoff that we here at Watchers on the Wall can offer. Their characters met a bloody end, but the actors depart with grace. Now is our time to honor them.

Brush-up for Episode 2 with Dame Pasty’s Recap and Review of “The Red Woman”
It’s a new season and I’m baaaaack. Here’s the first of my Brush-up videos for Season 6. For new readers, these are video review/recaps of the previous episode. You can find last season’s here on WatchersOnTheWall.com and Season 4 on my blog. We like to publish them the day before the next episode airs. I’ve shortened my format quite a bit from last season, for which many people will probably thank me.

Looking Forward, Game of Thrones Ep. 602: Life Without Prince
The gamut of emotion was almost too much to bear.
An editorial like this only happens when two colossal influences in your life converge. A favorite source of entertainment begins again. A favorite source of entertainment ends forever.
Two princes are dead. One left a lasting impression. One didn’t. One will be remembered always, and one will barely be remembered at all…
Young actor Matteo Elezi discusses his casting in Game of Thrones season 6
Young British actor Matteo Elezi discusses his casting on Game of Thrones in a new interview with BBC Radio Manchester. The ten-year old (accompanied by his mum, of course) pops in around the 2:51:00 mark in the program to talk about his audition for season 6, and his time filming Game of Thrones.
We do know which role Elezi will be playing but that could be considered a spoiler to those who are trying to remain completely free of info about the new season and Sunday’s episode, in which Matteo appears, so we’re going to be tuck that and some other spoiler info below a cut!

A Murder of Crows: The Dorne dilemma
Dorne.
Few storylines – not even Jon Snow’s! – have caused more controversy or hand-wringing amongst both the novel and television fandoms, and this week’s season premiere, “The Red Woman,” didn’t help things: the wholesale slaughter of clan Martell marks not only a huge divergence from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, it also leaves the character of Prince Doran Martell woefully underdeveloped as compared to his literary counterpart.
There’s actually a lot of factors to take into consideration with this scene, and it raises even more questions about the future of both Martin’s novels and showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss’s HBO series. It’s a good thing we have a veritable brain trust here at the Wall to tap into.
