Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

As someone posted in the spoiler thread, GRRM himself did not seem to approve of the handling of the Jaime/Cersei scene.
George RR Martin @_GRRM_ 2h For the record, Jaime and Cersie had mutual sex next to Joff's corpse in the books. That scene came off a little rapey... I'm not THAT sick. |

Not a fan of the Bolton's at this point, but their sigil is outstanding.

I'm going to start season one before Swamp People tonight, if starting at the beginning doesn't help me get a handle on this... then I give up.

Watch it from the start, and (unlike some of my friends) don't be doing dishes or reading a book while you watch but actually pay attention, and you'll not only catch on but you'll be positively hooked.

Dany gets hotter by the episode. Unfortunately I'd guess we don't see her nekkidnomo.

Too bad but she also said that after season 1. There is always hope.

This is the original scene from the novel: Quote:
Quote:
I think they tried to infer that consentual part of it with her gripping the altar cloth, I think that was them trying to denote passion, but they sure didn't include the rest of what was spoken. And maybe because it wouldn't have mattered in the end, had they added that part, since we've evolved to understand that that 'no means no' and you stop as soon as you hear it. I think it's safe to assume that people may have reacted even more negatively to that encounter had she said no, he continued anyway, and then she ended up begging him to **** her. That's a risky message to put on tape, even if the setting is in a brutal pseudo medieval setting, and I think there would have been outrage over that, too. Hard scene to watch in any case. |
