[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to cover my eyes during the violent scenes. Why does it have to be like this? It is okay for some of the violence to be implied. We get it, it doesn't have to be in your face.[/quote]

This is exactly what I said to my husband. We understand that a man is being castrated without showing a bloody penis after, good grief. I feel the same as others about the gratutitous sex and violence, but the actual storytelling seems okay so far. [b]The actress who plays Rhanerya annoys me, which could become a problem.[/b] [/quote]

The good news is that a different actress will play her as an older version. I don't find this actress attractive. She's strange looking. Reminds me of Chaka in Land of the Lost. I felt like she held her own in the scenes with Matt Smith and set up a very complicated relationship there, but overall she's little and not very regal. A Lyanna Mormont she is not.

I finished the first episode and the commentary stuff was playing in the background. The show runners were trying to make the point the Daemon (Matt Smith) isn't a monster, and my reaction to that was, what? Because he seems pretty monstrous even if he is sometimes nice to his niece - a relationship that's beneficial to the both of them if you are a transactional person.

I'm also loving the [b]very The Other Boleyn Girl/Lady Jane Grey setup of the Hightowers [/b]even if I was slightly disappointed that Alicent went so readily when her father asked.

I will likely stick with it. I am also glad that not so much is made of the dragons.

Can you explain this more?  I am familiar with the Boleyns and Jane Grey but don't see how their stories could be related to HOTD.[/quote]

PP here - basically pushing your daughter in front of the king without much regard to propriety in order to advance your family's interest. Or to be crass - pimping out your daughter for power.[/quote]
