I stopped reading this thread but I want to say how on earth do you make a show about titties and dragons boring?

Because there are no titties in this show. Like no titties, just skinny man ass and Aemond dick.

This show is the worst.

And when Alicent "skinny dips," she wears a white slip thing that's not even see through when soaking wet.

I’m not making excuses for GOTD. Fully clothed brothels wouldn’t happen anywhere, including Ridayh. Some tittles in the background won’t break them. 

That said common complaints actresses have about nude scenes: 

1) Length of time they have to be nude. It takes a long time to get a shot sometimes. I’m sure they’re cold and uncomfortable much of the time.

2) Open access to the set. Some actresses have described instances where the crowd watching the scene tripled in size during a nude scene, and included people that definitely shouldn’t be there. Caterers, pages, delivery guys etc…

3) I believe it’s now a guild requirement to hire an intimacy coordinator for every nude scene. I’m sure they’re expensive and slow down production. 
 

Sydney Sweeney has no problems showing the goods. Good for her and very good for us.

It’ll be interesting if the Aemond actor complains about having to do a nude scene. It should work both ways right? I’m sure that brothel scene wasn’t a ton of fun to shoot.

Total blue balls scene. She's wandering into the water in all white so I'm thinking, hell yea nips and muff!

But no. Yet another disappointment to be followed by more disappointment.

Rehashing a season one take here, but yeah..if it feels like we're watching budget Game of Thrones, it's cause we literally are. 

I think you meant it in a quality sense, because in a literal sense HOD cost twice as much per episode than GOT.  $20M/ep vs $5-15M.

Wow. I guess I did? Is this an inflation thing? GoT certainly felt bigger and more expensive.

I think its for sure inflation, COVID-burdened logistics, and surprisingly people suggest dragon CGI cost a buttload. 

GoT had more exotic locations and agreed it felt more polished.

Then maybe he should executive produce a better fucking script. 
 

 

ETA: I’m not sure he can still actually write well like that any longer. Hence all the consulting, and not creating.

Good on him for speaking up not that it will make much difference.  That's what happens when you sellout control of your story.

I don't know where hbo's hacks get the arrogance to keep thinking they can write a better story.

I found GRRM’s blog post to be constructive and well reasoned. He wisely goes after Condal instead of the other writers. I suspect Condal and GRRM haven’t spoken in several years. I believe he used 2020 as the year they discussed the film depiction of Blood and Cheese. 

His basic point was, if you keep cutting character after character events depicted on the show have to be drastically different from the book and have much less emotional impact. 

Spoiler

He did drop a warning in the post, but he spoiled a major death in Season 3. HBO has to be apoplectic.

They all die in the end except for like one person. GRRM "spoiled" it in GoT. I don't get the spoilers for this one. All of the dragons die, and almost all the Targs die. They talk about it a lot in the original show. It's not a secret. I haven't read the Fire and Blood books, but I'm sure that all the "main characters" will die at the end and someone "surprising" (like an infant) is going to be the sole survivor because otherwise GoT wouldn't exist.

Yes they all die but we don't need reminders of exactly how it happened if we didn't read the book and have forgotten the multiple scenes in the original show that discussed it. I've purposefully not looked back at those scenes so I can remain in the dark on how people die.
