Actually Ryan Kwanten who plays Jason Stackhouse is an Aussie. And hot as hell haha. It's actually funny, I know this isn't a true blood forum but so many of the main characters arent American. Bill Compton is british, Jason is australian, Eric is Swedish....hell even Sookie is Canadian! Haha

 

For the first time I noticed a tear rolling off Chandler's face near the end of the clip... nice haha

 

That was actually pretty incredible acting, imo.

It was raw, and it was a reaction of pure shock, despair and agony. A realistic reaction when you find out that your wife has died and that your son had to put his mother down.

 

R U kidding? That has to be the most convincing and relevant tear-filled outburst within the context of the series I have seen anywhere - TV or big screen. Deserves an Emmy nod at the very least for that alone. I still get shudders revisiting that scene.

 

This ^.

None of us knows how we're going to react when put in a stressful situation.


Imo, the acting in this show is superior. There might have been a stumble here and there but i can't for the life of me recall a scene where i rolled my eyes and was like "that was awful".

One of my favorite scenes in the series is in the episode Nebraska where Rick and Glenn are going to scoop Herschel up from the bar. I thought the part where herschel is talking to Rick about how when the walkers were let out of the barn and he saw they were no longer people he realized what a fool he had been and how he knew there was no hope and how Rick knew it too. Goosebumps man.

:hatchet:

lol, who's bumping all the lala is a horrible actor because of their crying, I'm surprised there's not a thread of Laurie Holden is a horrible actress because of her crying scene when Amy died... or Lauren Cohan when Hershel was dying...

 

I ctually know a couple of people like that, so i thought it was fine. And not coincidentally they're both cops. Man that's a stressful job.

:hatchet:

 

I actually loved that one, didn't think Lincoln could be so convincing lol

 

What should he have done? The usual "hero warcry" routine? I think is was brilliantly acted. It takes something to go that far. Brits are usually better with emotional stuff like that.. more theatre training and practice. Gives them a much wider range than a lot of american actors have. I am glad they used this ability instead of the stunted, formalized "grieve cry" that is used so often but never done by anyone in real life.

 

Like he did in the very first episode... when he thought he lost the family. It was simply consistent.

 

I loved that he made himself so vulnerable and real. A lot of people thought that scene was ridiculous. I found it very moving. Grief is never a pretty sight.

 

Maybe people who find it ridiculous have never experienced emotions so strong they overwhelm you totally physically as well as mentally.
I found it more telling that not a single person in that group reacted and tried to be there for him. Like kind of every time he needs someone (until Michaunne shows up).

 

Wasnt there a short time jump after that? Season finale wasnt it? I think they tried but he was isolating himself. He was wandering the woods when the next season started i think. I could be remembering wrong.

Later does not count. React immediatly in such a situation, or it is to late. Michaunne just knocks him out the first time he goes off the rails again, but in that moment, it was exactly right. They wouldn't have to say anything, or do anything, but be there. Show him that someone cares and he is not alone to carry all the weight. But most people can't deal with and/or are afraid of situations like that.

 

Glenn tried to comfort him deep in the prison when he was holing up by himself and going nuts....and he almost punched Glenn. He wouldn't let anyone near him if I remember correctly.

 

Yes, but that was in the next episode. If someone breaks down like that in front of you, you react immediatly. A couple of minutes can be too late, let alone hours or days.

edit: just had a look at it again. When the episode sets in Rick is already up again and zoned out completely. At least Daryl tries something. Then baby cries and everyone goes there. Rick leaves for the prison interior with an axe. Nobody really cares, because everyone seems to think that newborns die if they don't eat immediatly (which is really stupid).
