Fabien Frankel

Uh, the strength, as with most of these, uh, Thrones HBO shows, remains the cast.

Um, I think, you know, a- all the heavy work is really carried by the leads, Emma D'Arcy perhaps most of all, especially this season as Rhaenyra, but also, uh, Olivia Cooke as Alicent, Matt Smith as Daemon, and while he was there with us, uh, Fabien Frankel as Criston Cole as well.

Um, those were kind of the pillars holding up the various plot threads.

Um, when Criston Cole died, his plot thread was, uh, you know, uh, kind of mul- f- uh, folded into other storylines.

Emma D'Arcy and Steve Toussaint have been in 21.

Which other three actors, not characters, have been in 21 episodes? Fabian Frankel is one of them.

He won't be in anymore unless there's a flashback or something.

It doesn't seem very likely that we'll have Criston Cole flashbacks, but it is possible.

Tom Glynn-Carney and you and Mitchell are tied at 17, along with Jefferson Hall, also 17.

So all of those characters are still going.

So out of everyone we named, only Fabian Frankel has passed, so...

In the show passed.

And that's what I mean by like the villainous characters can still be villainous.

and unlikable but still pull something out in you and i think fabian frankel's acting was great and that character development was great and he had just given up and i appreciated that storyline way more than i expected yeah yeah i

still want him to die already but

Of course, me too.

And then the things that they're keeping the same for the book are just dragged out and kind of meandering and pointless.

Yeah, the Fabian Frankel who played Sir Kristen Cole, man, I thought they did him pretty dirty because when I was watching the season, I was kind of trying to remember, like, why is he important? Like, who is he again? Yeah.

And then I had to watch a recap or something like that of his relationship.

I was like...

And-

I, I actually really liked, um, Fabien Frankel, who plays Ser Criston Cole.

I thought he did a great job in that role for what it was.

Yeah.
