I don't think so. You should start it.

yeah I just caught myself from blowing some plot threads and was wondering, cheers
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 01:25 (twelve years ago) link
though thinking about it it would be about 100 comments of 'I can't believe they cut that, what the hell was wrong with them'

That's the normal internet reaction, but if there's anything about us ilxors, we are abnormal.

I just don't want to spoil somebody's day with something like 'how the hell are they going to shoot X'.
Anyway, with regard to ep, the porn aspects didn't throw me at the time, but thinking about it now I can see they're really trying to shoehorn more and more of these in. But that's kind of an HBO house style thing at this point, isn't it? I kind of expect every scene to begin or end that way.
Tyrion/Slynt scene was most excellent as well. Dinklage was cracking me up.

as for whether they really 'did it' in the books, grrm is never shy about ppl doing anything, so i can't imagine he'd be coy about this.

except he was coy about loras and renly fuckin

i don't even remember him being coy about it tbh (i don't remember any of the renly stuff from the books really)
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think I ever twigged to it until the TV show!!! Which is pretty dim of me maybe but it WAS very coy.

― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:10 (twelve years ago) link
neither renly nor loras had as much narrative attention on them as stannis, iirc, it would be really weird if stannis & melisandre were supposed to be boning down in the books
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:11 (twelve years ago) link
doesnt grrm make a real point of saying that stannis doesnt even like bone-downing?
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link
i didnt get renly & loras until the show started having them givin each other mondo blowies, but george says it was there all along, and so when the show has stannis & melly doin it i just assume the same thing

in retrospect, there were a bunch of good scenes in this, but I really found it hard to care about them while I was watching

my wife only read the first one after season one
it's kind of hilarious, her biggest commentary on the series so far is "everyone was falling all over themselves for CAT????"

Finally caught up
Uhhhh the mouth-wiping was O_o. I still don't really get why they have to go THAT far with it. Even if they have a must-show-this-many-boobs contract, who decides on face-spooge?
The Theon and Yara reveal was handled really well, and I loved the scenes with Gendry/Arya.
Mr Veg and I got a lot of lols out of Melisandre and Stannis boning down on the war table. Like, dude you couldn't sweep the table before you threw her down?

I was thinking the same thing, that particular table would be verrrrry uncomfortable.

She's impervious to action figure intrusion in the same way she's impervious to poison.

This show suffers a bit from "you paid for cable, here are your complementary titties" syndrome

that new redheaded witch lady is super hot I appreciated hbo taking the time to show me her titties, and I feel the gratuitous nudity is totally in keeping w/the overall trashy vibes of the show in general

It's not making it LESS gross that lots of people want to keep returning to the scenes where women are treated the most dismissively/cruelly and making jokes about their sexualized, dehumanized bodies.
