I love their early stuff.

O thtop it! You're being thilly!

What the fuck did you just say?!? You wanna say that to my face?

In the end, GoT belongs to the showrunners and to Martin. I trust that they'll steer this show where it needs to go. Let's not get hung up on some interview with a single episode director. That's how I see it.

But how can you surmise that there will be no 'payoff'? Why is everyone making conclusions about things that haven't happened yet? What's the urgency here? Can't we just wait a few more episodes? Why the impatience?

Thank-you (Dan Savage?) for providing some much needed insight. It was getting frothy in here. And not in a good way.

Well, they are both evil murderers and she does enjoy torturing innocent people. Rape is part of a fucked up world that she has helped to create with her own acts of cruelty. So there is an element of 'deserving it'.

His biggest influence was Urethra Franklin.

Don't give in to your-innate tendencies.

In general?

But shouldn't we at least wait for the show to follow up on this scene? And since when are showrunners, actors, directors etc under an obligation to provide a play-by-play commentary on their work? Or any commentary at all?

You've been insulting during this entire conversation. When did you decide to be not a decent person?

Artists have no obligation to please their audience no matter how many millions of people appreciate their work. Comment culture, (or whatever you want to call this weird hostile space) seems to be under the impression that artists have an obligation to listen to our concerns, to acknowledge us.

Get with what times? What time zone/dimension are you referring to?

But this is Game of Thrones! It's not this world! This world has dragons and winters that last seven years!

But how about the castration of Theon? According to my friend who read the book, that never happened in Martin's version. But no one is accusing the showrunners of taking pleasure in seeing men castrated.

Maybe there is a good reason. Why have people already surmised that there isn't? And please address my whole comment. Not just a piece of it.

But the controversy began before any response from the director. So I'm not sure what you're referring to.
