Turner rates Sansa’s “traumatic scene” a “6” on the GoT Scale
With the Game of Thrones Season 4 DVD coming out next week, the stars of the show are turning out to do promotions on it and talk a little bit about the upcoming season. Sophie Turner talked to Huffpo Entertainment yesterday, and promised us Season 5 was going to be “more shocking than the Red Wedding.”
That’s a tall order. But it turns out Turner’s own opinions on the show, and who would be on her “Arya Style Kill List” were going to be shocking enough. I mean…Daenarys?!
See below for all the shocking things Sophie Turner promised…
Top of the death list … you know what, Daenerys is quite a threat, I feel. I love Daenerys, but for my character’s sake she’s a threat. She’s got dragons, so she has to go. Actually, no, the dragons have to go.
(The dragons?!? But what have they ever done to her? They haven’t even roasted any butcher’s boys she might have been friends with. And two of those poor things are locked away int he dark, unloved, like a ill treated pair of basement cats. Leave the dragons alone Sansa!)
She also talks about her creepazoid relationship with Littlefinger:
I kind of love the storyline. I mean, for some viewers, it’s very creepy, but that’s kind of what it’s supposed to be. It’s supposed to be this very messed up, twisted relationship in which Sansa knows she can manipulate Littlefinger to get what she wants, and he can do the same with her. And together they create this amazing kind of tag team. And, you know, to outsiders, it’s very messed up and strange, but to her it’s the only way she can get what she wants, and finally she has that power, so she’s gonna use it.
What was it like filming the kissing scene with Littlefinger?
You know what, Aidan [Gillen] is not a bad-looking guy. I’m not going to object to that kind of thing, and I like him. I mean, it’s kind of weird because he has a daughter who’s, like, a year younger than me, so that was pretty strange. But I think it was probably more awkward for him than it was for me. I mean, I’m used to having relationships on the show with older men, so it wasn’t too much of a change […] It was a very strange day on set.
As for that “traumatic” scene she’s promised us, which some people assume involve Littlefinger:
I think I really bigged that one up. [Laughs] It’s traumatic, but isn’t all of “Game of Thrones” traumatic? I give it a solid “6,” though … It’s a pretty intense scene. I can’t say much more than that.
Some other interesting details:
On the Snow Winterfell:
That was the most impressive snow castle I think I’ve ever seen in my life. I think they had an actual stone structure underneath, and they just covered it in salt, so it wasn’t actually a real snow castle.
(For the record, I was wildly curiously how they made that. Stones and salt.)
On Sansa’s new look:
This thing about this whole change for her, changing the dark hair and changing the structure and the color of the dress, was a very conscious decision for her to kind of get away from her mother’s Tully roots and really, you know, form something of a House of her own. She wanted to completely change everything everyone has ever known about her. So it’s just like a massive transformation. There’s no Sansa left behind, and I think not just in the way that she appears but in the way that she’s thinking now. How she’s become this, like, massive manipulator in a way.
On certain fan theories:
Sometimes we talk about theories … there’s that one theory…[on] Jon Snow’s parents. And we’ve definitely discussed that, but I think a lot of us are thinking now that it’s such a huge theory it would be so predictable if it happened. But if it did happened, it’d still be awesome.
On adopting her direwolf in real life:
It’s not as exciting as you think it would be. I mean she’s beautiful and wonderful and I love her a lot, but she just kind of lies around the house. She doesn’t really do a whole lot. She’s a dog. Not as cool as you’d expect, you know? She growls at other dogs, and that’s about as direwolf as she gets.
