No dude, I think pretty much all of us were envious, not grossed out. Where was she when I was a teenager? It is a double standard of course, but can't help how you feel about certain things.
I guess I should head over to the Spoiler Thread, because it'll probably mention that last scene from Episode 4 with the White Walkers. Spoiler People are calling out the producers for spoiling a big reveal from the books that haven't come out yet.
That's part of their strategy and how GoT is a money machine. The book and show work together. It's genius.

A show about gratuitous sex and violence has to tread that line somewhere. As a dude, simulated rape doesn't bother me to the extent of complaining about it, but the criticism is appropriate as the scenes themselves are intentionally meant to make the audience disturbed and uncomfortable. Is it really a depiction that rape is tolerated in our culture with these human actors as proxy or that it's tolerated in a savagely barbaric era filled with family members actively trying to kill each other? Art and literature generally tend to straddle perspective and the amount of voice they direct to the audience, so the debate is fair. Then again, I'm not in the crowd that thinks video games and rap music makes little kids want to bust a cap in whitey's ass.
that's a bunch of crap. women never complained when schillinger was raping Beecher. Unfortunately, war has always been around and rape is what savages do and in the realm of GOT there are a lot of wars and a lot of savages.
I hope we get some Stannis, and House Bolton scenes tonight. One episode without Dany would be cool too.
I've been hoping to get some more Theon scenes, since Yara said she'll be coming to rescue him last season. Judging by the promos though, it looks like it'll be Littlefinger/Sansa-centric.
Good finally the book readers can eat a **** for always spoiling crap for people trying to just watch the show.
Looking forward to enjoying the show tonight. Rockets have managed to destroy the enjoyment of this for the past couple weeks. I'm hoping Bran and Jon are finally able to find each other. Starks can use a pick me up.
the book readers have been pretty good in general about not spoiling stuff. ned stark's beheading, red wedding, crimson wedding, etc... all seemed to catch the non-book readers off guard. I am not talking about the forum, but in general.
I was spoiled by some jackass on youtube comments of the Purple Wedding. From then on, I refuse to read any comments on Game of Thrones youtube videos. There was another one that nearly spoiled the red wedding for me, but it was too subtle for me to catch it thank god.
Maybe it was my TV or the glare or something, but did anyone else have an absolutely impossible time telling what was happening during the fighting scenes at the end? It was so dark they might as well have dancing together for all I could tell.
Man that Craster's story really was anticlimactic. This whole episode felt like filler. It was my least favorite so far, especially after teasing Bran and Jon reuniting.
