You’re kidding me. Really? Man. This world. It’s not so bad for us — we know more than anyone what’s in that episode — but for the viewers? They’re spoiling all the fun for them. I mean, get a life. People were looking forward to seeing this, and it’s giving them pleasure. Just wait a week.

From what I understand, you shot Episodes 2 and 3 just six weeks after you gave birth?

Both scenes. It seems like yesterday, yeah.

What was it like playing Melisandre in that postpartum hormonal state?

It was sort of surreal because I just came from a really beautiful, intense, crazy bubble, and to move back to Westeros and talk about ‘winter is coming’? And I was so extremely tired. [The cast and crew] were very nice accommodating me, but when I had to go away to express milk, I did feel responsible, like I better not take too long because it’s a tight schedule, and we all need to go home at a certain time. So I felt the pressure, desperately looking at my baby’s pictures to get the milk to come, and then running back to the set. Nobody was pushing me, but I did feel rushed.

At least Melisandre’s robe would make it easier to do that between takes — unlike, say, Brienne of Tarth’s armor.
