'Beneath You'
[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.
I kinda wish he was blonder. In my head he had the Targaryen hair, but I might have made that up.
HA - I was thinking he should have been swarthier.
Lady Olenna laying out all the multitudinous convolutions of relationships with the various Lannister/Tyrell weddings was HI-larious.
I kind of want her narrating everything that happens.
Jessica - I also thought Dario should be swarthier.
I looked up his description and I must be thinking of someone else. Daario is supposed to dye his beard and hair blue, Tyroshi style..
Nice, with the gratuitous sex during the leeching scene.
You know, I don't think that was gratuitous, exactly. Melisandre may be birthing more shadows as well as burning leeches.

Oooh! Good point!
Lovely interview with Sophie Turner:
Very lovely. Also pretty cool that she's read the books, which helps explain (to me) why she's got such a good handle on Sansa's character. I'm a little curious to know who's read the books and who hasn't. Dinklage has talked about not having read the books, but being partially spoiled for whether Tyrion is still alive in the books or not.
I love how proud Davos is when he finally gets to the end of that damned sentence.
I liked the little touch with the word "dragon" being a Westerosi sight word.
[Meaning, for people without kindergartners, it's a word that's used so often that kids are taught to recognize it as a full word unit rather than being encouraged to read it phonetically. "Dragon" was the only word Davos didn't have to sound out.]
Meaning, for people without kindergartners,
Hee! Thanks for the translation. And yes, that is a very cool little detail.
I also love how he never quite got his mouth or head around the dragon's name (Vhagar), a High Valyrian word.
