Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 963826, member: 833"] I don't think the show ever missed its stride, but I will agree that this season seems to be the strongest so far. I think it is time for Charles Dance and Maisie Williams to both get Emmys. They were amazing in Season 2 when they had a 3 episode arc together, and they have both gotten stronger since. Peter Dinklage is putting up a very strong performance this season too, but he already has a Golden Globe. I don't get why Emilia Clarke got an Emmy nomination last season, and she certainly doesn't deserve another. She isn't one of the 5 strongest actresses in her own show, much less all of television. The Tywin character is much more vulnerable this season, and you feel the desperation as he tries to hold his fraying victory coalition together. The balance between being credible as the most powerful man on the continent while also showing vulnerability is not easy to pull off as an actor. Every plotline with Maisie Williams is the most interesting plotline in the show. The actress does a great job of dropping figurative breadcrumbs about the direction that Arya is heading. [/QUOTE]
