This week’s Post-Mortem offers extra insight into last night’s controversial episode of Game of Thrones, “The Dance of Dragons,” with new interviews from Liam Cunningham, Iain Glen, Michiel Huisman, D.B. Weiss, and more.
Liam Cunningham has two great new interviews out today, the first with Vulture. The actor who plays Davos Seaworth talks about the shocking events of last night’s episode and his reaction when he received his scripts last year:
I remember reading the last two episodes, and I forgot to close my mouth when reading both of them. They’re dramatically delicious, and difficult as well. Difficult as a viewer. But I mean that in a good sense. You’ll be looking through your fingers. I think we’ll have people screaming at the television. It’s going to be such a treat for the audience.

Greetings again from the great Wall of the web, and welcome back for an epic recap of this season’s version of the epic 9.
A man’s name is Oz, and while “The Dance of Dragons” had it’s small share of epicness that arguably kept the tradition alive, this episode will undeniably be overshadowed by what happened to one of the most beloved and innocent characters left.
Due to this occurence, I am now tasked with convincing Ozzette into not quitting the show. How many times can this happen in one season?…

Tonight’s Game of Thrones episode was equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting, in the most literal senses. Was “The Dance of Dragons” everything you expected?

Kit Harington (Jon Snow) talked with Variety about some of the challenges of Game of Thrones and his new film Testament of Youth (released June 5th).
He commented that playing such a committed role as Jon Snow hasn’t allowed him to branch out as much as he’d like to acting-wise due to his Thrones schedule.
He also tells Variety about his most challenging role, Jon Snow:
Physically not as hard as Albert in “War Horse,” whatever actor is playing that role right now I feel for you, man. But Jon Snow is a difficult animal to play. He doesn’t say much, he doesn’t express much, he keeps to himself. It’s difficult to find nuance with. He repeats the same thing over and over: “I’m a man of The Night’s Watch…” And the noble ones are the hardest.
