Don't jump on me just yet for 'picking on the child' because that's not what this is. Robin Arryn is the exact snivelling, sickly, bad tempered character we read about in the books and Lino Facioli pulls it off almost too well. He's got a horror film paleness when we first meet him as he eerily (pun intended) demands to make people 'fly' from the Moon Door in the fortress' central hall. His scene with Sansa in the snow sees the 'Lord of the Vale' spiral into full tantrum mode, howling and whimpering after he takes a well-justified Stark slap to the face. Facioli's unsettling, psychotic performance is hopefully just that... For his real-life parents' sake.
