I'm kind of curious what you did your thesis on — either undergrad or grad.

Good thing no one asked you.

my muffin top is all that, whole grain, low fat...

I will post this on every article about domestic violence from here until the end of time. If you are experiencing abuse, it is not your fault. If someone you care about is being abused, you cannot fix it for them, but you can be a support and decrease the isolation they are experiencing. From loveisrespect.org:

As the post says, this scene carries a lot of gravity and it's a turning point for both the plot and the character. I'm willing to bet it's not going to be shot to make Cersei look seductive.

It is actually a plot point that she's naked. It can't be written out without consequences.

It's just nudity. Seriously why are Americans so uptight about breasts? Or butts? Or sex scenes? You show endless violence on TV and see nothing wrong with it, but oh no! GoT has boobies! Time to bitch and moan! Get over the hatred of nudity already. GoT is written for adults and is shown on a pay channel, I…

Have you read the books? It's her punishment for incest. Just don't watch the show if tits bother you that much.

It's such an important scene for Cersei's character that they didn't do any nudity with her in the first 4 seasons so this scene's impact would be greater. It isn't about the male gaze in this instance. It's not…

I would say more trust and respect. A rule like "no unprotected sex" would be okay, because it's about protecting your partner (not to mention smart in general), and isn't an unreasonable infringement. But rules like the ones listed are crazy (not to mention one sided), and would be obsessive and controlling even for…

"No no place"

I thought so too, but then I became a little less uncertain of the friend's gender. It kind of sounds like this might be a gay relationship.

In the new world, muffin tops will be "the curves" stripper-enthusiasts seek.

I second the beer gut.

Natalie Dormer is so god damn gorgeous. Stop being so attractive when I'm trying to not care about the Hunger Games!
