Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

They're getting credit, winning awards during award season validates that thought. But even the actors not getting the nominations have been really good. My point was perhaps not well made, but the depth of the acting talent across the entire show is a part of it's success that isn't widely discussed. Credit to the actors and directors.

I'm gonna guess that's unlikely. Normally they have to put nude requirements into contracts. Obviously, she wouldn't have those one in there from the beginning, and she's got a lot of bargaining power to keep it out at this point.

First time I ever had to turn away. That was brutal.
Start of a major Sansa arc? Me thinks so. |

Arya is an obvious rooting interest, but she's been clearly destined for badassery from the start [the first thing she ever did was show Bran up in archery]. Sansa has been dismissed as meek and sheltered, even as recent a Petyr calling her a simple girl to the council of the Vale this episode. I am very excited to see if, and to what extent, that is changing.

The show has made Sansa out to be more vengeful sounding that in the books, and they have now clearly turned her into a player of the game as opposed to a mere pawn in the game. That is a bit of a departure from the books so far, but she is older on the show than in the books, so it makes sense for it to happen sooner. I like where her character is headed, and I hope that continues in book 6 when it comes out.

To all of you wondering what happens if GRRM dies. I believe it is in all of HBO contracts that if the creator dies before completion, like books that aren't finished yet. GRRM told HBO the ending, so if he dies they know where to take the show.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong.

I'll bet Pedro Pascal gets some big roles after this performance.

He has said he has all the outlines of how the story gets from where it is currently to the end. He has not chosen a writer to take it there because he doesn't plan on dying. Remember that from an interview.

His reddit AMA was one of the most popular of all time.
