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..
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.
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.
Real leeches don't hurt, except emotionally -- their mouths secrete an anesthetic so you don't notice them. And the wound they leave keeps bleeding for a while, because there's also anticoagulants. Pretty neat except for the part where they're feeding on you.
Anyway, kudos to Sophie Turner. Who is playing someone so fragile and miserable. Sansa has been so emotionally battered that when a reasonable human or two (Margaery and Tyrion) comes into her life she can't trust enough to confide in
I also feel like I should speak up for Jack Gleason (aka Joffrey) who has one of the most thankless acting jobs and carries it off so well.
Joffrey is excellent and so hateable. He really does a good job.
