eumeliaI don't think I'll be continuing to watch this show.
I'm not even going to bother trying to read the books again.
The only character I find myself liking is Tyrion Lannister and that's just because Peter Dinklage is a fucking genious. Boromir is good, but so predictable...
I'm sick of the constant Doggy style. Seriously, directors, I know it's an easy angle to film, but for fuck's sake (literally) there are more positions, that are more fun, than just Doggy.
Will there ever be an episode in which women aren't referred to as whores, treated like whores and aren't commodified to an inch of their lives! Not even Catelyn Stark who is badass, okay.
I feel like I'm watching an adaptation of Frank "Whores, Whores, Whores" Miller's work with the all these prostitutes, can women be nothing but wives and "working girls" in this series. Or a Tomboy, apparently.
Not to mention, we get one scene of scene of Lesbian Titillation, in which the one tutors the other in how to please a man and we've had one scene of Homoerotic shaving (during which a Cunning Plan is concoc(k)ted, in which a close shave and a fade out is supposedly the equivalent of the mass amounts of heterosexual (Doggy style!) sex is portrayed.
A lot.
I'm taking a break from it. I'm bored with it.
Let me know if it gets better.
