I started to tear up!; the entire rest of the series could be her making speeches at castle walls like that and I'd love it.

If it didn't contain anymore of D&D's idea of "consensuality" I'd be happy too

Throw one up on Cafe Press and see if anyone goes for it!

GRMcIntrye Yeah that scene was probably the most unsettling thing I've seen on the show yet... wasn't aware of the drama surrounding it.

It's the second time they've taken a scene that was consensual and turned it into rape

Like, as if two siblings having sex next to their son's corpse isn't disturbing rnough?? they have to make it an assault? Just no need.

I love Dany in the show but that whole scene I was just thinking of this :Daenerys adresses Meereen

and re: the rape, GRRM chimed in on it and made a couple of good points that: A) Jaime has been back in the capital much longer than he was in the books the characters have already drifted apart and C) not-

being privy to what Jaime is thinking: grrm.livejournal.com/367...

that was supposed to be "B ) lol not shades

to be honest, as disturbing as it was to see, I'd rather they have skipped it entirely than pretend it was romantic or consensual because Cersei has made it clear that's not where her mind is at

SiyuSuen Yes! that and up until the end with the collars falling out of the barrels

I loved the collar barrels! When they first launched the catapults I was wondering what the hell they were thinking, they missed the walls! But the chains and collars were way better

They won't even need to siege the city, the slaves will let them in

I thought at first they were weapons for the slaves but the collars were even more brilliant
