Television shows that achieve great success have a huge fan base. It is natural for such humongous fan followings to have different opinions about the show. The show’s cast is no different. Actor Charles Dance, who played Tywin Lannister, shared his views about the Game of Thrones finale in an interview with Popculture.
Dance was not impressed with the show’s final season, having said before that the series finale confused him. He had not heard about the petition to remake the season finale. Charles said if there was one, he would sign it. He was clear about his feelings for the final season –
“I mean, I saw it. I continue to watch the whole series even after I’d been killed off in the lavatory,” Dance laughed.
“Because I just thought it’s a fantastic television show, you know? I was very lucky to be part of it. I loved it; there were storylines [where] I wanted to know what was going to happen to these people! I know that the finale satisfied a lot of people. It also disappointed a lot of people, and I’m afraid I am in the latter camp.”
Charles, however, highly praised directors David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. He said that their adaptation was what made the series work. He felt the final series lacked the drama in the story that the finale deserved. “I think David and Dan raised the bar when it came to television screenplay writing,” he added. “They are phenomenal. And for the whole thing to end up as a committee, I just thought, ‘Hmm, no.’ I would say I was somewhat underwhelmed by.”
Charles Dance was on the show for 5 seasons. The audience loved to hate his villainous character. What changes would you make in the show’s finale? Tell us in the comments below
