00:07Benioff and Weiss, along with Alexander Wu, recently sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss their upcoming Netflix sci-fi drama, Three-Body Problem, for a cover story.
00:16When Benioff and Weiss were pressed on whether there's anything they wished they could go back and change about Game of Thrones,
00:22they brought up Mord the Jailer, the thuggish guard who tormented Tyrion Lannister.
00:26If you deliver a message from me...
00:28...to Lady Arryn, I will be in your debt.
00:34Benioff said,
00:35One thing I know I wish we could have done is there's the character Mord the Jailer.
00:39It was a mistake not bringing Mord the Jailer back into it. We always talked about doing it.
00:44He added,
00:44And we add the scene for it. There's a scene set in a tavern.
00:47Weiss chimed in,
00:48Was it Brienne or the Hound?
00:50But we realized too late that Mord could have owned the tavern.
00:52We could have had that actor in the background acting exactly the way he did as a jailer,
00:57except now as a small business owner.
00:59It was just such an obvious, no-brainer, day-after idea.
