A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

Do you hang out with prudes?

Yes

I dunno, the girls (and a lot of the guys) who are my friends at CMU seem to be more comfortable with the Mountain eviscerating people's intestines than Oberyn getting sexed by six chicks and a dude. Don't know why. As for me I find the over-the-top violence hilarious, but the random sex scenes distracting and annoying. I just would prefer to separate my smut and my television.

So, will somebody be teaching her bratty little son to fly in the next episode?

We're not going to see too much of her bratty little son.

I find that women are much more likely to cover their eyes or turn away during overly-violent scenes rather than making sexposition scenes awkward.

Yeah, that's fair. But I do know from experience the lesbo kind of stuff in particular is weird for her.

In a show where the last "good" thing to happen was the horrible, torturous death of a young boy, what makes you think anything so good as pizza would make an appearance?

Who, Joffrey? Wasn't he supposed to be pretty close to draft age at the time? Geez, how many young men his age got chewed up during the last two world wars?

There hasn't been much forward momentum in the season so far. Granted, Joffrey's death was a big event, and Mad Queen Starey's big fall was mildly noteworthy (even if she'd only appeared in a couple of episodes)- but an awful lot of characters are doing stuff remarkably similar to what they were doing in episode 1.

I watch the show with my neighbors and it's mixed company, it does get a little awkward sometimes.

[Imran Siddiqui]

it makes it inconveniently inappropriate to watch in certain company in a way that gratuitous violence does not

Really? I mean I agree with your general point - the nudity is gratuitous and adds nothing really to the plot. Showing some nudity every few episodes during a sex scene, fine - shoehorning nudity in every episode to seemingly fill a quotient, ridiculous. However, everyone I know that would find the nudity inappropriate would find the violence just as inappropriate - and plenty of folks I know would be more ok with the sexposition than they would with the gore and violence on the show.

Looks like a dangerous workplace environment. No handrails. No safety tape establishing a safe perimeter around an open door. I think OSHA fines may be in order, but an accident is an accident.

[Patroklos]

So there was nobody around to blame that fall on...

The wolf pastry was ****ing adorable. I love Hot Pie. I laughed my ass off during his little kidney pie and gravy rant.

I'm too distracted by how great Brienne looks in her new armor.

[DaShi]

Who are you watching it with that would make it uncomfortable?

[Hauldren Collider]

for the life of me I can't understand this attitude. I mean, there's an entire internet's worth of pornography out there; It's super easy for me to see tits if I want to.

I agree 100%. The nudity in Game of Thrones annoys me--it makes it inconveniently inappropriate to watch in certain company in a way that gratuitous violence does not, and it's not like it's difficult to find other, better sources of gratuitous nudity.

[regexcellent]

Yup, that's his name.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

That's actually his name in the book?

If it is, I can legitimately pass off all my stupid nicknames as an homage. Brilliant.
