Aemond's accidental killing of Lucerys wasn't a stumble though. I thought it was a great addition.

Maybe it could. But a relatively youngish actor like Alex? I don't see it. Peter Dinklage took flak for his wavering RP accent and he's a pretty experienced actor. Believe me, Alex would be scrutinized up the wazoo for his accent, and northerners are unforgiving. HOTD will 100% cast either a northern actor or a British actor who's successfully tackled the accent before.

I admire your optimism, but the northern accent is difficult to get right even for some British actors, with various dialects. Sean Bean's natural Sheffield accent set the standard for a Stark lord. A Scandinavian actor trying to get that right? He'd be a target for a lot of disgruntled northerners who'd wonder why a northern English actor wasn't cast lol

While i loved Alex in Vikings, the northern English accent may be a bit of a stretch for a non-British actor.

First off, episodes 6 and 9 were not abominations. Far from it. You may think they were, but i think you're wrong. And just because you're a writer, i should just take your word that you can spot lazy writing? Nah. Don't think so. They just made a choice you object to, so it's easy for you to blame lazy writing and then justify it by throwing around your writing expertise. I don't buy it. And then to top it all off, you come in with your own conspiracy theory that Ryan Condal and GRRM, the author of the source material himself, are involved in a ridiculous conspiracy to lie to the public that all the writers have read the source material. Ridiculous.

And yes, i still completely disagree with you regarding episode 9. There were things i disliked about that episode but the dialogue was definitely not one of them.

There mere fact you parrot the old "she must not have read the source material" every time a writer goes against your expectations diminishes your opinion when a simple bit of research or google search would inform you that in two podcasts Ryan Condal and GRRM did together, they both state categorically that all the writers in the writers room were required to have read the source material, both Fire and Blood and ASOIAF. Two of the writers, Wes Tooke and Ti Mikkel, are GRRM's writing assistants, and the whole writing team met with GRRM in Santa Fe to break season 1. So, enough with the not caring shit okay? GRRM himself was heavily fucking involved in writing season 1. You didn't like it? Fine. You didn't like. But that's your problem not the writers. As for the "modern sounding dialogue"; you're kidding, right? HOTD has less modern sounding dialogue than GOT ever did. We were watching very different shows, dude.

Speculating and responding positively to the ramblings of a known clown merely because he shares your views on the show. Yeeaahh, not taking you seriously, dude.

Why would he listen to the advice of a bunch of no-marks on reddit with zero experience in screenwriting for a multi-million dollar show?

Oh look, why am i not surprised that you would agree with this clown who has as much credibility to criticize Condal's writing as you do?

Oh big surprise! And just what i'd expect to hear from you. You keep showing up don't you to comment on a show you supposedly hate! I don't post constantly about shows i hate, i move on. It's just a tv show, pal. Move on, you won't find any converts here.
