Yes, I agree. He seems so much more relaxed now, and he's still a bit fidgety, but it's the shyness. I think he get's along well with Mark and it must have helped being together in that Bafta interview. It's a lot easier to learn a role by heart and be a totally different person than to have to be yourself, warts and all, and not know exactly what's going to happen, as is the case in an interview. However well something like that has been prepared there's always a certain amount of unpredictability and for some people that is just hard. When you're filming and things go wrong, there's always a second take and a third, etc. There's no such thing as that in live interviews. I'm glad he stopped using the cliche things he did in past interviews, calling every role nice and meaty and such. Someone must have told him not to do that anymore.

Yes, he's definitely shy but that's quite normal, and would be my natural assumption. I've met dozens of men like that, and I don't think I ever interpreted that behaviour as being insincere.  Maybe it's just because I've lived my life amongst geeks.

I actually find shyness highly attractive in men - it's one of my definite weaknesses. I guess I see things very differently than the person I was quoting!

I agree; a certain shyness is very appealing - and the reverse rather off-putting, I think.  I think the person who made the comment was probably male and combined with not seeing what they expect to see in Sean's interviews (confident, witty, etc) that probably helps drive the interpretation of his behaviour.

Maybe his increased comfort level has unfrozen his brain (that almost panic mode of older interviews, poor sod) and he is able to formulate real responses instead of groping for cliches?

He's a smart guy, but you rarely get to see the intelligence working because he's so concerned about what he's saying.  I'd imagine he's quite a fascinating conversationalist when he's comfortable in the company around him.

That was a good article--thanks, Blue Jay!

I thought it had already been determined that there would be a second season, but the article says that will happen depending on the viewership of this first season.

Probably, and then they put an extra log on the fire and put on a second cardie.

I'm not surprised.  The following short conversation between myself and my GoT virgin friend (hasn't read the books), while watching the last episode:

16 MINUTES INTO THE EPISODE:

ME: No Sean yet!

HER:  Hmm - true.  Honestly, until you said that, I hadn't noticed!

ME:  Hmm - damn, that's true . . . I didn't notice until just now . . .

WE:  This show ROCKS!

WE:  *Still want to see more Sean, of course . . .*

I was also counting the mintues until Sean appeared.  I got spoiled last week when he was in it right at the start.

Game of Thrones ratings rise in US and UK


http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/05/game-of-thrones-ratings-rise-in-us-and-uk/#comments

Hmmm, well in the UK it's on Monday evening which is a pretty crap TV night!  I was talking to two people the other day, neither of whom had even heard of it!
