I think the scene is from one of Princess Irulan's excerpts that appear at the beginning of each chapter of Dune. She describes peeking on her father, Shaddam Corrino IV, watching a red-headed courtesan dance (Corrino turns down the courtesan's advances). I can't remember which chapter it was. Hope this was helpful.

Heh, I have a soft spot for God Emperor, despite its many flaws.

I am truly sorry if our product line offends you. I can assure you that our Stark, Targaryen, Snow line are made only from the most noble and pure stock. If you are looking for more "adult" tastes, then may I suggest our Greyjoy line? We just got a fresh shipment and it's half off.

Celery usually, iirc. I don't know if they have a stock version that's used constantly or if more food is cracked for every movie though.

The only thing about this that is disappointing to me is that I don't think Weiss and Benioff can match Martin's sheer inventiveness.

I'm a little late to the party but this show could have been amazing.

Entering this discussion a little late but still worth mentioning. This show was consistently great, not just the finale, it may need a little leeway to make the list. ;)
