Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

To be fair, the series I read before this was The Sword of Truth, which I began to refer to as "The Rape Books" after awhile because that trout is full of very gratuitous rape and it was very clear that the author was getting off on it.

Huh. I wonder if the naming of the series has anything to do with that author's fetish. Bleh.

And beyond that, Westeros does not seem like a world in which people, unless they're fabulously wealthy and spoiled, can afford to sulk. I would imagine that regular people, women included, know how to hustle and survive. If you look at all the female characters on the show, some may be battrout insane or narcissistic or bland and naive or clever or strong, but few are just willing to lay down and die. So I'm wondering who Brienne was thinking about when she was imagining women sniveling and giving up.

If anything the show is sexist for not showing more average women. We see all sorts of male extras or side characters bumbling about but it seems any women in the show have to be depicted as a single female lawyer unless theyre servants or prostitutes and even then a lot of them have cunning alterior motives etc. Thats not to say whiny women and stupid girls dont make up the majority of the female population in this the world, it's just the camera never points at them!

Finally watched this week's episode.

Y'all know I'm not a fan of Dany, and I'm even less of a fan of Emilia Clarke's acting "skills", but goddamn, the last 5 minutes of this episode were smurfing awesome.

I love Emilia Clarke, never seen a problem with her acting tbqh.

On the other hand she did date Seth MacFarlane for a while and I have no idea why anyone would ever do that.

Oh Dany, Queen of the Dead Eyes


Every scene

Same look

Same blank face

Same dead eyes

Same monotone voice

That's how she's supposed to act, though

Is it? Because that certainly wasn't the Dany in the books.

[Formalhaut]

I really don't see the sheer hatred of Dany in the T.V series, I really don't. I think she's been portrayed well personally, she's certainly not my most hated character *cough* Stannis *cough*

[chionos]

It's especially interesting because all of GoT's directors seem to get a lot of work out of the actors' faces. See any interaction between the Lannisters. Also see the picture of Sansa that Shlup posted. That was a great scene for her, well acted and well directed.

So it would seem to follow that Dany's stoic exterior is something they're doing intentionally for the show. Even if Clarke is a bad actor, I think the directors would pull something out of her if they really wanted to.

Show =/= Book

[Pike]

Well I haven't read the books so I'm going by the show alone where I think she's a believable and interesting character - her acting certainly convinces me, anyway

I could be in the minority, though, I suppose

Nope, I concur.
