my feelings on game of thrones, let me show you them.

I watched the premiere of Game of Thrones on Sunday night with wagemage and, overall, I feel very positively about the show, albeit with a few reservations.

My review comments will spoil the episode AND some elements of the novel that parallel the first episode.

I've got zero problems with nudity in TV/Movies when it's done well, but I was totally not expecting the premiere to be a T&A festival. It felt okay with Dany for the most part, but halfway through I felt like I was watching a female dog and pony show. It was way too much!

I don't know if it was just me but hello sex positions, also. I know that's the Dothraki thing but I wasn't expecting Jaime and Cersei to be so...something, too. I was really disappointed with Dany/Drogo's wedding scene but I think the other people from WS are right, they're probably doing it in reverse because they can't/didn't show Dany's internal dialogue while all that was playing out so they have to start with the bad and work up. POOR DANY THOUGH.

IDK IDK IDK. I kind of hope they tone down the unnecessary stuff? There's already enough canon sex and canon nudity that I think adding more is a bit overkill. (Still seething at the one reviewer saying that this is why women are watching, argh.)
