@rawbun:disqus I don't think she necessarily liked the inappropriate groping, I think she was having a laugh at how fucked up he'd be when he found out who she was.  She could have just told him when they first met up, but she didn't so that she could mess with his head and take him down a peg.

He's just a sleazeball who takes what he can get.  He doesn't care.

It's not up to the showrunners though.  Can you imagine the outcry from people who've read the book if Tyrion's supposed to die and they just skip that and keep him alive?  No way will they do that, so it's out of HBO's control whether he lives or dies.

Forget_it_jake, I agree that mileage will vary with different viewers.  I'm sure some straight men don't like it, and some straight women don't mind it.  You're right that you can't make a sweeping statement about who will find it acceptable or not.  But I think that you CAN make a sweeping statement that it's sexist,…

@avclub-fff4ac4c2f46e5cd75ec8b515c235031:disqus Maybe it wouldn't bother you as much as it bothers me, but then again, you don't belong to the objectified gender.  I don't think you can judge how it makes women feel to see it, over and over, in our society.  For a thoughtful show like GoT, it's disappointing.

@avclub-fff4ac4c2f46e5cd75ec8b515c235031:disqus Let me ask you this.  Do you purposely watch a lot of shows where they trot out naked men for women to ogle?  Do you think you'd find that comfortable and fun to watch?  Because that's what they're doing to their female viewers.  It's like "good show, good show, good…

What about that DJ dude?  I can't remember what happened to him exactly, but I thought he got away.

It seems like they can only see the Grimm when they have their Wessen-face.  That's how it struck me, anyway.

I don't think he's a creature, but he might be fucked up.  Looked to me like he was eating the foam inside the couch cushion.  Maybe he becomes one of those non-food addicts, people who eat soap and kleenex and all kinds of weird stuff.

Ha!  I thought the exact same thing!

Could've been a man actually.  I assumed it was a woman because of the previous (also gratuitous) scene where Littlefinger was teaching Roz how to fuck.  They were both women in that scene, taking turns pretending to be the man.

@avclub-db0c35ce2663c0e8c4b3f38642a49748:disqus No, I was talking about the show itself objectifying them.  I don't mind if the characters IN the show objectify women… like if Joffrey had a bunch of naked ladies up there dancing for his birthday celebrations, that would be fine, just like it's fine that he had dudes…

Whoa whoa, settle down!  I was just answering your question.  Sorry, I thought you were actually asking, I didn't realize it was rhetorical.  My answer will explain why some of the people on here feel the gratuitous nudity is out of place.  If you don't feel the same way, that's your business.

Hahahah, alright man, you're awesome and I'm not, I guess!  Congratulations!  Meanwhile I get to enjoy a kick-ass show, and you get to be a sourpuss.  So have fun with that.

That was my thought too.  It looked pretty good.

Google "game of thrones hbo viewer's guide".  It's pretty comprehensive, and spoiler-free.  It gives a bit more background than what the show does, but it doesn't ruin any future surprises.

Actually I would say that Peter Dinklage was the #2 credited character last season, because he got the "and Peter Dinklage" at the end.  That's the #2 spot, like "and Alec Baldwin" on 30 Rock.  That's why it makes sense that he's now #1, since Ned went and lost his head.

Well, when I watched that scene I thought she was happy because it was proof of how in love with her he was.  She's a teenage girl, and a fairly sheltered and naive one to boot.  The Dothraki always talk about killing and raping, how is she to know that this is going to be more than the usual amount of killing and…

Dude, you're just hating to hate.  We didn't know that Stannis would refuse to ally with his brother or Robb, because Stannis has never been shown before and others could only speculate on what he would do.

thrillho, it's because of how some people in our society see women, and how they are treated by media especially.  Are they people, or objects?  The two ideas are diametrically opposed.  GoT seems to mostly think they're people, yet by throwing in gratuitous scenes of objectification, it's undercutting that.  It…
