Yesterday, our dear departed Viserys Targaryen launched a short, three-part web series entitled “Supreme Tweeter: A Quirky Tale about an Actor’s Quest for #Celebrity”.
Actor Harry Lloyd hasn’t been in the spotlight since he was killed off in Season 1 of the hit series Game of Thrones. In order to regain his crown he turns to social media, where he finds himself followed by the most Supreme Tweeter.
A quirky 3-part web series, with VERY special guests including George R.R. Martin, Maisie Williams and Tamsin Greig.
Parts 2 and 3 below the cut!
Written and directed by Lloyd himself, and guest starring Maisie Williams and George R. R. Martin as themselves, the series takes an intelligent and surprisingly meta look into the culture of celebrity in relation to social media – specifically Twitter.
It also puts Harry’s very first tweet, along with subsequent tweets between him and Maisie, in a completely different light…
Time 4 me 2 join the Tweeters. Ran into my old #GameOfThrones buddy @Maisie_Williams! pic.twitter.com/mDokZbDiEq

.@Maisie_Williams Have been on Twitter a month now. Feeling good but bit like grandpa sometimes. Any tips, Queen of the Clicks? #tweetorial — Harry Lloyd (@HarryLloyd) January 6, 2015
.@HarryLloydSays you’re doing well young apprentice. Interact with your followers!

.@Maisie_Williams thank you Maisie wan Kenobi. Do u have core followers u always chat to? Do u read Everything? — Harry Lloyd (@HarryLloyd) January 7, 2015
Game of Thrones, Kim Jong-un and Seth Rogen references, and Harry Lloyd flying around London on a bicycle – what more could you want?
Visit the website here.
Cian: I personally loved this. It’s equal parts witty, funny, and thought-provoking… especially considering I’m writing this little piece promoting a web series I enjoyed about an actor who has admittedly retreated into the background since his Thrones exit, which itself is about an actor who has retreated into the background since his Thrones exit . Wow. Here’s to Harry Lloyd!
I don’t think that being amazing in one of the best movies of last year, The Theory of Everything, counts as retreating into the background.
I can’t watch these right now, but I will as soon as possible. I love me some Harry Lloyd!
WTF
New Sansa chapter excerpt from TWOW! This is not a joke.

Mod Note: Please do not discuss TWOW in this post- there is a post for sample chapter discussion. Thanks- Sue.

SerRoy,
Agree – he seems to be busy these days. He was excellent in “A Theory of Everything.” He is also in the series “Manhattan” (which I haven’t seen yet but gets good press) and “Wolf Hall” with Damian Lewis and Mark Rylance which should be amazing.
He was on Twitter as @HarryLloydSays for a period of time before moving over to his current Twitter account.
I love him. He is doing a Reddit AMA this afternoon.
Luka Nieto,
Wow it does seem a real one indeed. I get really confused because my head is on show canon for Sansa and this is so different from any show plans.
There where typos though unless my phone was playing tricks on me.

OMG
Luka Nieto,
THIS is a good day! I had a feeling that a Sansa/Alayne chapter was to be issued before S5 began! This is like last year with Mercy/Arya. However, the new chapter doesn’t really say much….seems to be semi-aligned with the first ep of S5.
Hodor’s Bastard,
It says quite a bit, in a way…
Also, the question of Sansa’s marriageability is brought up. Petyr did not mention this thorny issue when he revealed his plans, but readers have been asking for a while —how can Sansa marry Harry, the next Lord of the Vale if (when) Robert dies, if she’s still married to Tyrion?
It’s great to see that Sansa is considerably more grown-up now than last we saw her, too, and she’s plotting her own schemes —this whole tourney, an excuse to bring in Harry the Heir, was her idea.
And I’m only halfway through the excerpt. There’s good stuff here. I really like Sansa in this chapter.
I wonder if the tourney we’re supposed to have in the Vale in 501 will just be Robin practicing or if the idea of Winged Knights will make it to the show…
Hodor’s Bastard,
Yeah, it doesn’t say much.
All I kept thinking is that who the hell names himself
Robert B,
Good one! Might be a common comment about this chapter.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Luka Nieto,
Yessss
Robert B,
Sansa is truly amazing in this chapter. I laughed out loud at this:
And there he stood, Harry the Heir himself; tall, handsome, scowling. “Lady Alayne. May I partner you in this dance?”
She considered for a moment. “No. I don’t think so.”
Color rose to his cheeks. “I was unforgivably rude to you in the yard. You must forgive me.”
“Must?” She tossed her hair, took a sip of wine, made him wait. “How can you forgive someone who is unforgivably rude? Will you explain that to me, ser?”
Luka Nieto,
Hodor’s Bastard,
There’s other great Sansa moments too:
“What will you name the babe?” she asked. “Cinnamon if she’s a girl? Cloves if he’s a boy?”
For a moment he looked shocked. But as the song was ending, he burst into a laugh. “No one told me you were clever.”
He has good teeth, she thought, straight and white. And when he smiles, he has the nicest dimples. She ran one finger down his cheek. “Should we ever wed, you’ll have to send Saffron back to her father. I’ll be all the spice you’ll want.”
He grinned. “I will hold you to that promise, my lady. Until that day, may I wear your favor in the tourney?”
“You may not. It is promised to… another.” She was not sure who as yet, but she knew she would find someone.
I didn’t expect the chapter to be so fun. Sansa is amazing in this. A jump from AFFC, honestly. She’s grown in these real ten years, or the… weeks, months at most, inside the fiction? I don’t care. Just as her moments in 4×08, it’s a welcome leap in characterization.
Luka Nieto,
Just finished my second read.
Luka Nieto,
And
Sansa was on fire, that was freakingly awesome !
Arkash,
That was the expression I was looking for.
Harry Lloyd should return as Bran.
Alayne and her sassy quips, just think how that would translate on TV? Would be sooo good. I am kind of miffed there will be no Harry on GoT, reading the chapter made me want him in it just for the snappy exchanges between both.
Still digesting it tbh, it may not have huge amount of plot developments but it shows her growth. That’s eqyally importang imo.
And Sansa has become so sassy and clever, lol
Hey everyone, let’s move the sample chapter discussion over to the post Marko has put up for it so we don’t spoil anyone. You don’t even have to use spoiler coding in that post.

I think compared to the last
By the way I bet this was the “the controversial” sansa chapter. Controversial for certain shippers 😉
YAY! What a nice surprise! Although, the state of the text seems to confirm that he is truely nowhere near done, unless, of course, he just grabbed an approved-but-not-integrated version of the text to quickly post, but I digress…
Thanks for making my day, Luka!
Edit: Sorry Sue! Moving…
SerRoy,
He has been working pretty steadily. I think it’s clear he’s not really playing himself entirely- he’s playing a jokey version of himself. Like NPH in “Harold and Kumar” or James van der Beek in “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23.”
Ok ,
I repeat:
Everyone, please move the sample chapter discussion over to the post Marko has put up for it so we don’t spoil anyone. You don’t even have to use spoiler coding in that post.

This Tweeter post is not for TWOW discussion, especially uncovered spoilers.
(I added a note to Luka’s initial post. Maybe people will notice that first.)
For those of you that haven’t seen “Manhattan” (with HL), do yourselves a favor and watch – it is excellent. Think it should be coming back to WGN soon and hopefully, Netflix.
So, we’re not issueing a post on Maisie cameo’ing in Dr.Who, based on “we’re a GoT-site, and we’re not posting articles on actors doing side jobs”, yet here is that exact thing, now with an ex-GoT-actor and a cameo of Maisie and Grrm, and it gets a post? Filler..
It was funny though.. But it shouldn’t have been posted here based on previous claims.
Ser Oromis Locke,
Maisie’s casting in a completely unrelated show is wholly irrelevant to this site.
The whole “plot” behind this endeavour of Lloyd’s is that he’s washed up after his departure from GoT.
It’s a side-project directly related to GoT in its essence, which stars a former cast member of GoT who directly references his GoT role, and also happens to include cameos from Maisie and GRRM. I’ll put it this way; I was already drafting this up before I even realised Maisie and GRRM were in it.
This is related to GoT, so it gets a post. Doctor Who isn’t, so it doesn’t.
This was a good surprise. Harry is splendid. Thanks for sharing.
This was really good!
That was pretty funny 🙂
Did not think it possible to like him more….These are fantastic!!! 😀
Gosh, he’s adorable! I found that highly entertaining. 🙂
