Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorWelcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”Actor John Bradley is still defending the controversial “Game of Thrones” series finale against its very harsh critics, even more than two years after the show ended.“It is highly unlikely that we were ever going to please everybody,” the actor, who played Samwell Tarly on the long-running fantasy show, tells me on the latest episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. “Chances are we were going to please a fraction of people… We almost couldn’t win.
It almost meant too much to people for them to really ever be satisfied. And who knows, when the wounds have healed a little bit in a few years time, maybe people will reevaluate it and be able to see it as a complete thing.” Bradley is particularly irked that some naysayers argued that showrunners David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss and the cast “didn’t care anymore” by the time the finale came about. “If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t choose to be standing in a field in Belfast at 3 o’clock in the morning for months on end,” the actor says. “They wanted to make it as good as possible, and it’s a shame if people didn’t like it because we did try our best to make something very special.”And yes, he’s looking forward to watching “House of the Dragon,” the upcoming “GoT” prequel series. “There will be a certain bittersweet quality to it,” Bradley admits. “I think it’s a bit like, do you know when you move house and you go back to your old house and other people have moved in and then they’ve redecorated and they’ve changed things and they’ve made it their own and you just don’t feel involved in it… It’s going to be like seeing somebody else living in your house.”I talked to Bradley.
