George RR Martin actually writes a fair number of Targaryen’s as LGBTQ+, particularly the women. Rhaenyra just isnt one of them.

I hate to tell you this, but there are no successful characters in this show.

The Spartacus one is pretty famous among LGBTQ film buffs because of Vito Russo’s brilliant book The Celluloid Closet: Homosexuality in Movies which was turned into an (equally brilliant) documentary by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. That scene is discussed in-depth in the book and documentary.

And honestly, if…

Ain’t that the truth. As soon as I saw the word “problematic” in the sub-heading I knew that’s what this review would be about. Not the episode, which the reviewer doesn’t seem to understand (her comments about the show being boring are testament to that), but just because a gay character died.

Yara Greyjoy as well, who took over the Iron Islands. Not just a woman too, but also LGBTQ.

I really wish we had expert reviews of this show like we got with the original. Reviews that focus on what the episode is setting up with the primary focus being the events of the episode and what they are leading to next with full spoiler talk. And that point out differences from the source.

Also, for all that the justified criticism that the end of Game of Thrones got, one bit that really impressed me was how it neatly sidestepped all the potential for Dany’s ending to come off as a message of “women should never have power” by also having Sansa end up in charge of the North, which is presented…

I think some of the “backlash against criticism about representation” is about the fact that it sometimes feels like it’s the only subject critics are interested in. This was, by far, the best episode of House of the Dragon. It managed to create a tension the show has been lacking, and ended with a scene where all the…

“Rhaenyra and Laenor’s coded conversation about their sexual preferences (“roast duck” versus “roast goose”) feels like a Westerosi homage to the Schitt’s Creek scene in which David Rose uses wine varietals as a metaphor for pansexuality.”

You got banished to the greys for acting like a lunatic.  And you’re going to stay there until you learn to act like a normal human being.

I’m incredibly sorry that people with wealth and the access to good lawyers can completely evade justice for their criminal acts.

But you’re as repetitive as ever. :D :D (Am I “really real quiet,” Raymond— real-ly? :D :D)

Yeah but also Richard Herring and Stewart Lee had a character called the Curious Orange on their way underrated comedy show This Morning With Richard Not Judy.

Don’t worry about it dude, I know who The Curious Orange was -

I’ll take that as a “no” to my question.  Going to therapy will help you engage with human beings better.

You are coming across as extremely manic in these posts.

I’m not a psychologist, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to diagnose you.  You definitely have some kinda problem with engaging with other people though. Do you have many friends in real life?

Have you ever spoken to a therapist?   

There is something deeply wrong with how your brain is wired. I hope you get the help you need as well 

Oh Jesus. I’ve been on AV Club for  years but rarely had someone this out of their mind reply. I hope you get the help you need.
