SEANGT 5,296 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I am confused as to what Gaga's character is. She is so robotic all the time. I can kind of read into it that maybe it is supposed to be a sort of regal....mystique type thing. like Head Bitch In Charge floating on air. Also I guess it makes sense because she is "Dead." But other vampires aren't like that. I really don't think however the character is coming off matches what the intention is....but I can't tell what the intention is or really what gaga is serving us exactly.Does that make sense? Am I insane? I am just baffled as to what is going on. 5 episodes in and the only cracks I have seen, besides that two seconds where she shoots the guy, looked like a mistake. Even when she was doing her "Born This Way" scene with Liz she had this awkward smile and laugh that seemed as if it escaped on accident when she said to go get ice. Maybe it is because I can see the Gaga under this character and exactly how she would be as herself in a scene doing Liz's makeup. To me, it just seems like Gaga being herself but literally just trying to keep a straight face and be more monotone. It is not even like she is a bad actress. It seems like this show was just written so terribly, they thought up this deadpan character they thought would be such a glamorous enigma but ended up being lame because they never wrote in any character development. I am grasping at straws at this point, I really just don't get it. Can anyone explain how they think she is supposed to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaXCupcakke 3,818 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 She's just dead inside. She's been alive for a very long time and has been through a lot of heart break. The only time she shows emotion is when someone inspires her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTPOPdidntflop 3,987 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 She's an onion, wait for the layers to peel back. There's still 8 episodes left Gaga x Nicki x Azealia x Ariana x Kesha x Bey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit 15,807 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sometimes I do find Gaga's lines pretty monotone but it kinda matches the character she's playing. “For me, insanity is super sanity.

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 She is not cold because of the virus (Alex is still the same person and she has it), she is cold because she has lived for a long time and she said that she knows about heartbreaks more than anyone else so I guess she "doesn't have a heart anymore".

I forgot about that part. I guess I am just thirsty for more Countess development. I wanna know everything! But the plot of everything else takes up a lot of time. haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkin 100 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 thanks for saying what ive been thinking. i dont think its Gags fault though, but if they are going to use her this way I really hope that she doesn't come back next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auro 1,829 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 She's supposed to be very cold and collected, she knows what she wants and nothing is gonna stop her, however, I feel like when the actual conflict starts happening, we'll slowly see her lose her cool He/They Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 She has had more than 100 years on this measly, disgusting world. It would be way more inauthentic and baffling if she was perpetually happy and overemotional. I mean, I'm close to Countess-like apathy and coldness after 5 days of university alone.
