Bloggin Hood Minis – GOT Special: Cersei Lannister
June 10, 2020Are you looking for angry, nonsensical rants on topics but don’t have a lot of time? Well don’t worry, Bloggin Hood has got you covered. Welcome to Bloggin Hood Minis, the new recording series that will satisfy your craving for frustration over things that couldn’t possibly matter less.
Each episode will contain a timed, 5 minute rant on a topic that’s fresh on my mind. There is no script, no notes, and no outline. I have no idea where my soliloquy will end up and honestly, I don’t think I want to.
Say what you will about Cersei; she’s the most successful villain in the series. And while her character didn’t fault in season 8, she didn’t exactly do anything but drink wine. I get it. She was against the script, trying to cope with booze. What a tragedy.
I didn’t mention season 8’s execution scene, where Cersei allows Tyrion, Dany, and the majority of the main cast to walk away alive. Was it dumb? Yes. But I couldn’t see a Red Wedding twist this late in the series, even with Martin at the helm. It’s a bad scene that’s meant to give justification for Dany’s rage and Grey Worm’s murderous streak, but doesn’t. Somehow, it’s nowhere near the worst parts of the season. Yeah, it’s still not good, but I had 5 minutes and not 5 hours.
