A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

Oh no, people aren't simply black or white explodes poor HC's brain

That confused the **** out of me. Also what bugs me is, why the **** am I starting to like Jaime? He's the **** that literally pushed a 10 year old boy out a window because he was caught ****ing his sister. Now he seems nice? God dammit!

Of course I went through the same agony in the books.

The subsequent smash-cut into a punk metal rendition of The Bear And The Maiden Fair was ****ing hilarious.

The bit where Jaime loses his hand was also one of the most cringe-inducing scenes in the whole show so far, and that's really saying something. It was better than watching Theon get tortured though.

There may be more to that; Ros is working for both Littlefinger AND Varys now, after all, so there may have been some sort of attempt to get information from Pod.

I don't think that will actually come to pass; just a possibility. I'm content with just letting Pod be the Squire With The Golden Dong.

That episode had the most hilarious extraneous but obligatory nudity scene ever. Well, I should say, the bit where Podrick comes back and they demand details was ****ing hysterical.

They seem to be streamlining out the subplots, which is alright as it helps viewers better follow the main plot line as well as shorten what goes in to each episode, though they have been doing a good job of showing the main events in their proper order. All in all episode 3 was pretty good.

Google tells me she is not afraid of being almost naked.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Lisa Nolan is so "up and coming" that not even IMDB has heard of her. Guess someone just blew their big break.

I'm a goddamn SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPIST! TAKE ME SERIOUSLY GOD DAMMIT! I HAVE THE FACE FOR TELEVISION!!!! :aNGRY: :mad :MAD:

This wouldn't be the first time an Actress has had a problem with the sex scenes

Model Quits Game of Thrones Over Sex Scene
By Jacob Klein | HBO Series: Game of Thrones | Sep 6, 2011

GameofThronesSexSceneAn up and coming Dublin actress walked away from a role on HBO’s Game of Thrones when she realized she was going to have to shoot an erotic scene on set of the show’s second season. Lisa Nolan insists she was promised ‘no nudity’ when she signed her contract with the show and that as soon as she arrived on set she was asked to remove her clothing.

The 21 year old told the Herald: “I was aware that the scene was slightly raunchy, but I thought it wasn’t a sex scene and they said they would give me skin patches for my breasts. But when I got there they wanted me to be fully topless and in the scene I had to strip off. So I pulled out at the last minute.”

The 12 hour filming session to her “looked like it was going to basically be soft porn. As well as modelling I study Sports Physiotherapy so I want to be taken seriously, I wouldn’t if I had given in and filmed the scene. It was my own fault really because I didn’t research the show properly. The money was amazing and the idea of it all was so glamorous but I’m glad I walked away because now I have my dignity intact,” she explained.

“The whole experience was surreal. But I was in a totally different environment than what I’m used to. I would love to get into acting but right now I’m not focused on it. So I’m glad the producers of Game of Thrones did contact me for the role, because now I know I have the face for TV,” she said.

Readers of George RR Martin’s series already know the role sex plays in the world of Westeros. Perhaps she should have grabbed a copy of Game of Thrones, watched season one, HBO in general or took a moment to read the script before signing on. Game of Thrones Season 2 is currently filming and premieres Spring of 2012. Sex scenes in Game of Thrones were a dime a dozen and no one expects that to change for season 2; particularly those of us who’ve read the novels.

A nobody.

Some random extra.

I understand they're trying to tone down the nudity after one of the actresses walked off the set after being asked to do yet another nude scene.

Who walked off the set?

[DaShi]

What's she so concerned about? After the first nude scene any others are old news.
