You guys ready for Game of Thrones tonight?

Daenerys is hot.

The nipple time was worth it. The character is hard core. Cinematography, showing the violence and prowess of who she is going up against.


She burns them alive and walks out, King Bit#h. Unstoppable Hotness.

Yep. I wasn't referring to her looks (which are not bad).

The blond hair in a tribe of nothing but black hair. You couldn't help but notice. Excellent separation of the characters. She glowed.

The nipple time was worth it.

The actress who plays her has insisted for some time that she will no longer do nudity for the show. I assume it was done via some sort of special effect, similar to the way the Queen Mother's walk of shame was accomplished.

Great way to end the episode, though. In fact, I loved this episode. It had several characters actually doing something to move the story along. After the first three episodes, with their plodding pace, it was a real bright spot.

And the way that Tormund kept eyeing Brienne of Tarth was super cool. Brienne may wind up getting some action other than battle. I hope she does; if any character has earned a little recreation time, it's her.

She claims it was all real.

Now Emilia Clarke, who plays the flame-proof Daenerys Targaryen, Mother Of Dragons, has spoken about her spectacular nude scene that wrapped the latest episode of the HBO medieval drama.
She told Entertainment Weekly: 'This is all me, all proud, all strong. That ain’t no body double!'

A body double was used when Cersei did her walk of shame last season, according to articles.

She looked as if she couldn't quite know what to make of his interest. I'd like to see something develop too.

I wish they hadn't killed off Osha as if she never really mattered as a character.

They should have gave her character more screen time before they did what they did.

I was sorry to see her go.

We already knew Ramsay was evil. Re-emphasizing that fact in that way was, pardon the pun, overkill.

Apparently she's had a change of heart. However, given shooting schedules and post-production time, she surely knew in September of 2015, when she was widely quoted as hating sex scenes, that she was splitting hairs. She was naked last Sunday; it was just not a sex scene.

The entertainment industry certainly knows how to manipulate their message, don't they?

If I was still in Jr. High, I'd really like it I'm sure.

As it is, it's not watchable.

Any specific objections? I think it's a pretty good telling of a huge story. The worst part of it is that we only get 10 hours per year.

I realize that not everything appeals to everybody and I'm not being judgemental. Lord knows, I find some things unwatchable but I'm always able to articulate at least a few reasons. So I'm truly curious. What makes this "unwatchable" for you?

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

Fair enough.

The script and acting is so hyperbolic, I just can't watch it.

If I were 13/15 I'd probably love it.

 

[benenglish]

The script and acting is so hyperbolic, ...

Fair point. Scenery is, indeed, chewed. I think there are enough quiet moments to compensate, especially some of Peter Dinklage's best scenes, but to each his own.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm about as mature as the average 15-year-old, either.

I resemble that remark!

There are apparently millions of us.

Spoiler warning.

















Hodor is a contraction of "Hold the door"? For a series with big reveals in nearly every episode, this was an anticlimax. Losing a good character, finding out he had a stupid name, and losing another direwolf made for a downer of an episode. It moved the story along, all right. I liked that. But some of the stuff that happened was really crappy.
