[Archae]

Just saw a feature on ABC news about the show's creator, and they showed some brief clips from the show.

That little punk king ("Joffre?&quot I just want to slap him silly!

1. just watched last week's show a Third time!!!!

I just love that show!

[Iggo]

2. I hated that little fucker when I read the book.

And I hated him twice as much after seeing Jack Gleeson's portrayal of him on the TV series.

That young man did a great job.

6. ditto

Only a good actor could be so hated.

[Codeine]

3. That actor says he intends to quit the business now,

as the public reaction to his character has been so visceral that he gets threats and abuse on the street. He's an amazing young actor who owned that role completely.

[Iggo]

4. That sucks.

People are fucking idiots.

He's an actor, ferchrissakes.

5. Quit acting? Or just quit that role?

He might have enough saved that he can retire. Or he can be choosy about his next role. I'd guess the latter.

Maybe he should apologize for all the death he caused and go into rehab for a couple of weeks. Go on Letterman and do some "Stupid Despot Tricks". A top-ten list of reasons to hate Joffrey.

I'm just not buying "quit". I think he's smarter than that.
