I want to smell dark matter
In the frenzied aftermath of the royal wedding, Tyrion gets a visit from a loyal subject, but wonders if anyone in his family will help him out of his current predicament. Meanwhile, Tywin offers to work for the common good with a presumed enemy; Sam takes stock of the personnel at Castle Black; the Hound gives another life lesson to Arya; and Daenerys makes a decision outside the walls of Meereen.

Should be good!
 
RAPE RAPE GRAPE RAPE... tv show GoT loves rape even more than book GoT :rwmad:

I wonder if they're worried about encouraging incest or some shit?

Arya and the Hound TOGETHER FOREVER. Shit, those two could totally rule the world.

Is it just me, or does this season seem to be doing a better job at doing the POVs? It seems like they are giving each different area more time than they did last year.
 
Awesome episode last night. Getting better and better again. First time they killed someone that I've enjoyed (last week)
 
Disturbing even by rape standards.

I didn't remember Baelish having such a strong Irish accent before.

I was expecting the catapulted barrels to contain weapons, but defunct yokes are much more subtle. Nice work!

Except as Cassie pointed out it wasn't rape in the book and the showrunners seem to like adding additional rapes to the story.

I don't know why they think it's a good idea to turn Jaime into a rapist while he's in the middle of a redemption storyline. I mean even in the book it's a pretty disturbing moment for a brother and sistter to be having angry sex next to their dead child. It's certainly a point where you think "oh I was starting to like Jaime, what the fuck's he doing?" It didn't really have to be turned into rape (she does tell him to stop at first in the book due to their DEAD CHILD being next to them but she then tells him to "stick it in my, brother!" or something.) In the book that scene is the first time they've seen each other since Jaime's return to King's Landing, so they already changed the tone in the show by having Cersei refuse sex with him for weeks (months?) So yeah I don't understand why they've done this.

I also don't get why Littlefinger's voice gets stupider every year. Sansa in a hood though!

The blonde boy whore has a nice bum.

The Tyrion/Pod scene was good.

I liked the Dany scene and Emilia Clarke is really good at talking in fictional languages.
 
This is how I imagine the writing thing goes

Writer #1 Let's add a couple prostitutes this time

Writer #2 nah, we already did that. Let's add some RAPE

Writer #1 HELL YEAH

FIN

GRRM:

“I think the “butterfly effect” that I have spoken of so often was at work here. In the novels, Jaime is not present at Joffrey’s death, and indeed, Cersei has been fearful that he is dead himself, that she has lost both the son and the father/ lover/ brother. And then suddenly Jaime is there before her. Maimed and changed, but Jaime nonetheless. Though the time and place is wildly inappropriate and Cersei is fearful of discovery, she is as hungry for him as he is for her.

The whole dynamic is different in the show, where Jaime has been back for weeks at the least, maybe longer, and he and Cersei have been in each other’s company on numerous occasions, often quarreling. The setting is the same, but neither character is in the same place as in the books, which may be why Dan & David played the sept out differently. But that’s just my surmise; we never discussed this scene, to the best of my recollection.

Also, I was writing the scene from Jaime’s POV, so the reader is inside his head, hearing his thoughts. On the TV show, the camera is necessarily external. You don’t know what anyone is thinking or feeling, just what they are saying and doing.

If the show had retained some of Cersei’s dialogue from the books, it might have left a somewhat different impression — but that dialogue was very much shaped by the circumstances of the books, delivered by a woman who is seeing her lover again for the first time after a long while apart during which she feared he was dead. I am not sure it would have worked with the new timeline.

That’s really all I can say on this issue. The scene was always intended to be disturbing… but I do regret if it has disturbed people for the wrong reasons.”

By the time the show is over it will be ALL RAPE ALL THE TIME.
 
If the director really thought it didn't come across as rape then he needs to go back to "how to make consensual sex not look like rape" directing class (I'm sure there is one.)

GRRM was quite diplomatic about it.
 
Haven't seen the ep yet, but after seeing a couple of GIFs of my blonde twink I will be checking it out soon.

Oh yeah AND HOW 'BOUT THAT KOOKY RAPE, FOLKS!
 
You're eagle eyed. I only noticed one, unless you're including Joffrey.

With Jaime and Cersei, I don't know how anyone can hear "no" that many times and not interpret it as a rape, but a lot of people are managing to.
 
Yeah, I've read quite a few comments saying they didn't think it was rape. They're probably the type who think if a woman isn't beaten near to death then she secretly wanted it OR SOME SHIT.
 
ACTUAL COMMENT (from a future rapist, imo)

I don't understand why anyone thinks that was a rape, it was a disturbing scene sure, Jamie forced things initially, but it wasn't rape, she wanted it just as bad and that was pretty obvious, she just didn't want to do it right next to their dead son which is why she was saying this is wrong, do you guys know how to interpret tv? lol I just feel sorry for peoples stupidity in thinking that was a rape, seriously.

I agree that she might well have wanted to bang him if they were in her bedroom rather than next to her sons corpse, but that's really a side issue to "no, no, stop!"
 
Well according to Time

"If a woman or man does not consent to a sexual act, and the other person forces him or her to continue, it’s rape. An incident cannot be both rape and “not rape.” There is no “yes and no” about it. A rape cannot “become consensual at the end.” You do not convince someone over the course of the act that they actually consented."

I have not seen the episode. But I am sure Gear will be along shortly to comment.
