Game of Thrones Screencap Breakdown: “The Door”
By Ani Bundel
Game of Thrones is not only a fantastic show—it’s a feast for the eyes. From the costumes to the sets to the CGI, every episode has gorgeous moments and amazing acting beats that are well worth freezing in time and considering. Today’s Best Vista Award goes to the deserts near the Spanish National park known as Bardenas Reales. The Spanish Tourism Board would once again like to thank Game of Thrones for this screencap.
Let’s talk about some of the best images from this season’s fifth episode, “The Door.”
This was a great callback to the events of Season 4 at Molestown. This is the brothel where Gilly hid in terror with the baby, and Ygritte let them live.
Sansa also lets Littlefinger live here. Coincidence? A mistake? We report, you decide.
For the record, The Waif does not need deadly weapons. She is a deadly weapon.
Anyone else think it’s weird that they keep the faces of the first Faceless Men on their own column?
The play Arya watches went on for a long time, and with good reason: they hired big-name actors (Richard E. Grant, Essie Davis) to play actors to play characters we know and love, or we knew and hated and who are now mostly dead.
Here’s the Stupid Ned Stark meme, made flesh. And Tyrion, wearing an evil nose. It’s how we know he’s evil.
Just a reminder of the real image of this moment:
You know who else remembers the way it really played out?
No one.
Lady Crane, out of costume and ready for poisoning.
“There are no small parts,” says the actor who is far too big for such a tiny role.
