https://x.com/sir_great07/status/2079319685548401068?s=46 That’s really left me with a few questions… What do you think?
Well, this actually left a rather sarcastic smile on my face, to be honest haha!
I’m quite sure the person who posted this video and these assumptions hadn’t read the script for this season/episode, so I won’t judge them too harshly.
I remember reading the script for Season 3. It was being sold through an online auction on a website called catawiki not that long ago. On that site, buying it required placing bids and increasing them, whereas simply reading the script only required registering an account. I had no intention of buying it, but I signed up to read it because I was very interested in Kit and Emilia’s scenes / Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen’s scenes.
So I remember very clearly that, in this particular scene, Jon Snow smiles and is having a bit of fun with Ygritte.
It is written quite plainly and clearly in the script: Jon Snow smiled and teased her.
That is exactly what Kit portrayed in this scene… the man was asked to smile and show a bit of playful teasing, and he did precisely what was asked of him. He gave Jon Snow’s character spirit and made him feel completely real in his behaviour.
So it’s rather amusing when someone says, ‘That was Kit’s smile, not Jon Snow’s,’ haha… when Kit was simply acting out his character’s behaviour.
Look what we’ve got here:
I’d like to say, ‘that’s Kit’s smile’… ohh, wait, I can’t… lol… umm…. because that was John F. Donovan’s smile and laugh, and Kit was merely portraying that side of John F. Donovan’s personality for that scene, just as he did when portraying Jon Snow.
