‘It was a mistake’: ‘Game Of Thrones’ makers want to change one thing about their fantasy hit

Want to take more time for the end? Maybe put someone else on the Iron Throne? Give Jon and Daenerys a happy ending? No, the ‘Game Of Thrones’ makers don’t want to change that, despite the criticism from fans. dem David Benioff and DB Weiss revealed that they regretted something completely different, even calling it a “mistake”, an “obvious no-brainer” that they missed: the inability to return Mord even though the perfect scene for it already.

“Murder”? As die-hard fans of the fantasy series or George RR Martin’s books are sure to know, we only see murder in the very first season of ‘Game Of Thrones’ – played by actor Ciaran Bermingham. He is the jailer of the air cells on Hohenehr in the service of House Arryn. As is known, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), who directly tries to bribe murder, ends up in the cells. But he doesn’t react to it at first and even hits Tyrion.

It only works on the second try. With Mord’s help, Tyrion manages to leave his cell for a hearing, which ends in an arbitration award won by his deputy Bronn (Jerome Flynn). Tyrion is released and bids farewell to the jailer by throwing him a bag full of money – accompanied by the famous saying, “A Lannister always pays his debts!”

“So obvious”, “a no-brainer”: this is how the authors get irritated

In conversation with the DBWeiss now explains: “It was a mistake not to bring back the murder of prison guards. We’ve always talked about it.” According to his colleague Benioff, a scene was tailor-made for Mord’s comeback, which takes place in a tavern.

According to Weiss, it was realized too late that this exact scene was perfect for Mord’s return. You could have just shown him in the background as the owner of the inn: It was such an obvious idea, a no-brainer,” Weiss continued. But they didn’t remember it until the next day.

The scene would have been a fun Easter egg for fans. Because They would have found out quite casually that Mord had built a new life for himself with Tyrion’s money. The former Arryns prison guard is now an entrepreneur and self-employed.
