Sibel Kekili kept that necklace lol. All the dead chars get to pick a prop to take home, but she picked one that isn't terribly noticeable. Still should fetch 20-30k in a charity auction one day.

Didn't know that. Is there a list out there with what all the dead characters picked?

Not that I know of. Seems like it should be in the wiki or something but it's pretty meta. I read aboutShae's Necklace in her post-season interviewbut they try to keep the stuff they'll be using later because budgets. Rose Leslie kept Ygritte's bow and Charles Dance kept his hand's pin I think? Joffrey wanted to keep his crown but his whole wardrobe and his armor from the blackwater is actually on tour or something.

I'd say she switched to the evil side when she didn't kill the Hound. He was genuinely protecting her at the end and even though he wasn't nice and honorable it's still evil to not ease his suffering.

I'd agree. He at this point had no reason to protector her, no one was going to pay for her and I think he actually had taken a liking to her. (as much as The Hound can take a liking to someone.)

Here was someone who actually wanted Aria, he could have tried to sell her but he didn't. He stepped in when he saw that Lannister gold was in play. He was legitimately protecting her I think.

Now I know he was still on her list....but this didn't remove him from that list. She didn't kill him. She just walked away from a man who was suffering and would die from his wounds or be killed by a wild animal before that happened. That's pretty evil and served no purpose to her "cold hearted killer" shtick.

lol from that sibel interview:
Q.
When you work on this show, you must know that everyone runs the risk of dying. Or were you in denial?

A.
[Laughs] Every time I met [the "Game of Thrones" novelist] George R.R. Martin, I said, "If you should think about killing Shae, don't."I guess he was annoyed, and maybe my death came faster than was planned.My last hope was on that day when we had to shoot that scene, I said to David Benioff and Dan Weiss [the show runners], "I'm not coming. I'm sick. I don't feel good." They were, like, "O.K., Sibel, you have to do it." They knew that I was joking. But I really didn't want to do it. The death scene was really hard for me.

Q.
It sounds like you did not read the books, which maybe was a good thing.

A.
[Sarcastic]Really, does it sound like that? Maybe that was the reason George R.R. Martin decided to kill me.There are so many spoilers. There's a lot of people who will say, "Oh, did you read the books? No? O.K., do you know what happens to your character.?" No, I don't want to know. But thanks for telling me. At the beginning, Dan and David told me that Shae in the book and on the show would be a bit different, but the end would be almost the same. I knew it somehow. But when we started with the first season, HBO told us, we don't know if the show is going to be successful. We don't know if we are going to do a second season or a third season. So I was really, like, O.K., let's do it. And I'm sure I will die at the end of the second season.

She really thinks that GRRM killed her character after GoT started.

bitch that book was published in 2000.

I remember in one of the GoT interview things someone asked George about killing characters and he mentioned a particular actress had asked him repeatedly not to kill off her character, and he just chuckled because he had already killed that character a long time ago. At the time people suggested it was Ygritte but I guess it was Shae afterall.

She's been doing legit stuff for like 10 years.


It's pretty clear she was joking, but she does sound a little dim. Maybe just the whole 2nd(or 3rd or something) language thing.

From what I understand most of the actors try to avoid spoilers so they can approach the scripts as organically as possible. Foreknowledge would mess up their acting process or something. I have no idea if that is legit or not, but that's what they say.

Reading the books would've been pointless for Shae anyway... her role in the show is totally different from the books. She's practically a cartoon in the books and the producers tried to make show-Shae a load-bearing character for the Tyrion-Tywin arc.

Unfortunately Sibel Kekili really didn't sell the breakup AT ALL. Go ahead and rewatch that scene and imagine Shae being played by a more seasoned actress. They really needed someone who could land Shae's breakdown to match Tyrion's performance there to make her betrayal at his trial and her death scene have anywhere close to the impact of the Tysha reveal in the books. It seems like the producers took a gamble with Sibel and it didn't really pay off too well. All those scenes with her pouting at Tyrion after his marriage to his "child bride" just made her look petulant instead of genuinely hurt--and those were supposed to add up to her turning on Tyrion. Maybe switching around Oona Chaplain (Talisa) with Sibel Kekili could've done it.

I'd say that it was a rather cold-hearted killer thing to do
