Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Nebber mind. Did some googling. It's a prequel and it starts up Jan 21.
Game of Thrones: They gave the press a 15 minute preview - consisting of clips from various episodes: Mo Ryan's thoughts on the preview and Winter is Coming's full breakdown.
Spoilery for those who haven't read the books.
ETA: sounds like the clips allayed some of Mo Ryan's fears.
We're finishing up S3 of The Tudors. Even after 3 seasons I cannot get past all of the perfectly shaved legs of the Tudor age women.
sj - i could write off shaven legs since razors were in existence and court ladies did all manner of insane things in the name of fashion. Hrm. Historians don't seem to write much about Tudor-era depilation trends.
It seems unlikely though... I know Ancient Romans were pretty fanatical about removing body hair, but I don't think it became a cultural trend again in the West until the early 20th century.

Have there been any TV shows or films taking place during that era in which the women don't have shaved legs?
There were merkins for Spartacus, but their legs were shaved

The scene in Dances with Wolves when Mary McDonnell's character is trying to commit suicide, I recall her underarms being unshaven when they pull her away from Kevin Costner. Which I thought was a nice touch.
I know Persians practiced extensive hair removal as did the ancient Egyptians but I can't say how much the practice filtered into Western Europe.
