'Game Of Thrones' Stars React To 'The Red Woman' Reveal

“It was amazing, absolutely amazing,” she said.
“It really makes you see what she’s capable of. I think there’s always
been this kind of question with her of like, is she for real? This kind of idea
of having sort of magical powers or not, and you’re just like, ‘Oh, you really
are magic.'”

John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tarly, said that the scene showed
new depths to the Melisandre character. 

“And what I like about that, and seeing her like that
is you know then that her sexuality over the course of the last few seasons,
[which] we’ve seen her use as such a tool — that’s all very deliberate,”
John said. “She presents herself in this way as this beautiful woman
because she knows the effect that that can have on people. She knows the effect
that that has on Stannis, and that can make men do unadvisable things. So the
fact that she did that and she uses that power in that way to have this influence
on people — that puts her into context as somebody who really does know what
she’s doing.”

“Game of Thrones” Season 6 continues Sunday nights
at 9 PM ET/PT on HBO.
