Re: George R.R. Martin
i think i made a bummer realization last night that i'm very interested in the upcoming big individual events of this season, but the larger plots aren't going to do anything for me. i especially don't care what happens at the wall, or whatever is going on with dany.

Re: George R.R. Martin
That's interesting because those are probably the 2 most important story lines that will have the biggest impact on the series as a whole.

I can't possibly think what the spoiler for Ep 10 could entail. Only thing:the wicked child wrote:A couple interesting tidbits from the director of tonight's episode. Not sure it requires spoilers, but I'll do so anyway to be safe...

Since I dont' have HBO anymore, and can't watch this season yet, I've been focusing on the books. Just finished SOS last night. Loved it all. Onto FoC.

Re: George R.R. Martin
It's gotten progressively hammier as the show has gone on. Which, to be clear, I'm totally ok with, especially as he's probably the closest thing remaining to a big-player villain at the moment.shmenguin wrote:same. though if this many people noticed it, i think we know that it was a special brand of overkill.eddysnake wrote:I couldn't tell if he just hasn't been on the show for a while and I forgot what he sounded like or was he doing a completely different voice?canaan wrote:ha. it was overkill last night.meecrofilm wrote:Littlefinger's "batman voice" has officially gotten out of control.

Funny, up until now the actor who plays Littlefinger has underplayed how he has been written.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Not sure why they decided Jaime/Cersei having sex by Joffrey's dead body wasn't creepy enough and decided to have Jaime rape Cersei. Were they worried Jaime was becoming too likeable and wanted to solve that problem?

They do it by Joffrey in the books, but she is a more willing participant. It was like "no means yes" in the books for her.Rocco wrote:Not sure why they decided Jaime/Cersei having sex by Joffrey's dead body wasn't creepy enough and decided to have Jaime rape Cersei.

I know, that's why I said I didn't understand why they felt the book version wasn't creepy enough.newarenanow wrote:They do it by Joffrey in the books, but she is a more willing participant.

If you have a kindle or other e-reader try to find ball of beasts. It puts Foc and DWD in chronological order making for a better read.newarenanow wrote:Since I dont' have HBO anymore, and can't watch this season yet, I've been focusing on the books.

The director insists that it isn't rape: http://www.vulture.com/2014/04/game-of- ... er_vulture
Yeah, not buying what he's selling there.

I thought it was more aggressive than the book, but I thought it was close to the line.

I haven't read the books, and when I watched the episode, it seemed like pretty straightforward rape to me. When reading the reviews, I was kind of surprised to see that it wasn't so rapey in the book and that the showrunners didn't think it appeared like rape on the show.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I didn't think it "ended" like rape, if that makes sense. She was saying something like "This is wrong", not "get off me you ****" She also wrapped her legs around him and to me, it seemed like she was using this to manipulate Jamie into killing/siding against Tyrion.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Maybe they just shot it poorly, but it wasn't meant to be rape. That wouldn't be consistent with the source material or the character arcs they're building.
