REVIEW: Holy Warriors @ The Globe
The Third Crusade is an epic subject for a play. As broad as anything Shakespeare touched on and with as diverse a cast of characters. To take such a subject and then spin off from it through to the present day makes one suspect that Holy Warriors might be epic in length as well as scope. The truth is very different however, with David Eldridge’s script packing nearly a millennium of history into around two hours of theatre.

“Ironically, Siddig was offered a part in the recent film Alexander, only to have the offer withdrawn when director Oliver Stone discovered that he had been on Star Trek. Ridley Scott, who cast Siddig a few weeks later in Kingdom of Heaven, fortunately considered having been on Star Trek an asset.”

As you may or may not know, Alexander Siddig is going to play the role of Dorian Martell on Game of Thrones! I think as the Da Vinci’s Demons fandom (in how little we are) can show him and his character some appreciation for his outstanding portrayal as Al Rahim. He doesn’t have enough showtime as I’d like but just enough to have this appreciation week. So I was thinking for the week of August 18-22 we could show our appreciation through our edits! If you aren’t part of the Da Vinci’s Demons fandom, don’t feel shy not to join in! Lets use the tag #Al Rahim Challenge.
Day 1 - Favorite scene with Al Rahim
Day 2 - Favorite quote of Al Rahim
Day 3 - Favorite Relationship with Al Rahim
Day 4 - Favorite Season with Al Rahim

Doran is a cautious man, a reasoned man, subtle, deliberate, even indolent to a degree. He is a man who weighs the consequences of every word and every action.

I couldn’t find any screencaps of Alexander Siddig as Hermes in Clash of the Titans so I found the far-too-brief scene and took a couple. Honestly I can’t see Hermes wearing full armour and I’m sad they didn’t show his winged sandals but at least SIddig is lookin’ fine.

“
- from If Arianne Martell Isn’t in Game of Thrones, I’m Going to Flip a Fucking Table and You’re All Just Going to Have to Dealwith It by Sara. (via fullonmonets)
But why do I keep coming back to Arianne being my character when there are other fantastic female characters in Dorne? In the series as a whole? Why does this feel like such a personal slight, as well as socially irresponsible?
The answer I keep coming back to is that when I read the books, I picture Prince Doran Martell as my dad.
It truly means more than I can possibly say that they cast Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell. Even better, he looks nothing like my dad, which I’ll be grateful for when they give him a sexposition scene. However, his casting would mean more to me if they had given him a daughter. A willful daughter who fought him, and did not listen to him, and loved him, and eventually came around to understanding him. To the best of my memory, the only tender scene between an Arab man and his daughter I’ve ever watched on screen — and I watch A LOT of television and movies — is in Aladdin. So that’s fucking upsetting.
I had a horse in this race and HBO shot it and the jockey out back before the starting signal. I needed this. And If I needed this, I can’t imagine how many other girls of color out there needed this. Given the prevailing cruel and sexist stereotypes of Middle Eastern men in American media and culture, I can’t imagine how much good a hit show like Game of Thrones could do by simply having a strong and complex father-daughter narrative.
I’m not saying television owes me anything. But what I am saying is that cutting an Arab (or North African, or Indian) woman who’s the center of her story is more than “streamlining” the show. It’s actively hostile, it’s lazy, it’s sexist, it’s racist, and it’s a big deal.
