Maybe Aegon is going to be like a Jeffrey and be cruel to women when he figures out what to do with his peen.
Which Jeffrey are we talking about here?deer corn said:

And it's super easy to compare because we can go back and see where the season was. At this point in season one of GoT, we've only just had Viserys get crowned. Robb has not marched to war, Ned still has a head, Robert is still alive, Dany has no dragons, Benjen hasn't gone north yet, and Jon hasn't even been assigned as the Lord Commander's steward.The Porkchop Express said:My thought is that you are comparing a show that ran over the course of nine years and was based on a book series whose first volume was published in 1996 with a TV series that has had 5 episodes and is based on a segment of a book that was told as if you were reading the encyclopedia.cbr said:
question - is there any character in this series yet that stands up to any of a huge list of GOT characters?
when you read that list and then think about this show.... man, that's why GOT was a big hit and released first. Those characters were just fantastic. (yes, i was not a fan of a couple of the season 8 episodes either, but you can still watch and enjoy up until then).
i just dont see anyone here comparing to that list very well.
thoughts?
IIRC, a decent part of the thread on TexAgs for the first season of the GoT show was people griping that there too many guys with beards and they couldn't keep the characters straight. When the first season ends, I think would be a good time to take stock of how many characters you're enjoying and want more of. What you've seen so far is a fraction of the Dance of the Dragons. If you were only 5 episodes into the original show, think of all the amazing people you wouldn't have seen yet and all the marvelous subplots yet unearthed.

Oh look at me I misspelled Geoffrey.

On a smilier note, I heard someone on podcast today reference an article or interview saying that the reason the birth scenes are so visceral and exaggerated in their sounds/intensity is because, at least this early stage in the series, wombs are where and how the various battles are being fought. I thought that was a really cool way of looking at it.

That was a line of dialogue in episode 1. Agreed.

That's all well and good for the first scene. But this one was just her face and disgusting unfitting sounds.

I'll ask it again, what does it sound like when a baby is breach and a woman is trying to force it out to save her own life and the baby's?

Also, I don't understand why people keep hating on Rynerea. I'm not sure what she has done yet to make so many people hate her. She was content early in life just to be herself. Then her dad pressured her to be queen. Then her uncle messed with her mind and she sought confront with Cole. Then he went crazy and asked her to give up her right to the throne and she politely said no. Then Cole murdered the lover of her to be husband. Then she was forced to marry a gay man. Anyways. I don't know why she is the bad guy here.

Its an easy fix, you just hit the skip forward button, and you don't have to watch the scene.
Its not like they are going to have meaningful dialogue during it.
It's also not hard to understand why people would be put off by those scenes, just like its not hard to understand why others would like it.
I appreciate that they are attempting to draw a dialogue between 'the battlefields' but it doesn't resonate with me.
I don't personally really think it as a deep an allegorical choice as the writers do, and it feels a bit ham-fisted to me in presentation.
It's also not even remotely ruining the show in any way.
Yep, it's a bit of an odd reason.TCTTS said:PatAg said:

I totally get being turned off by those scenes or not wanting to see them. To each his own. But in a fantasy TV series with magic and dragons, complaining that the birthing scenes aren't accurate to our modern, real world standards, when the filmmakers themselves have made it known why they're doing them the way they are, legit cracks me up.
