It took me three seconds last week to figure out why GoT wasn't on this week. "Wait, what...oh yeah, the biggest episode of the season last year played Memorial Day weekend and lost over a million viewers." They don't want to make that mistake with what's coming  :lol

Winter? :neverusethis:
Yes, that's it exactly.  :biggrin:

I'll post spoilers in bold font from now on.
lol

Wait, aren't you the one who isn't even watching the show

What difference does that make? I'm a fan of the series so have an interest in the tv show and its discussion.
Whatever, dude.  Not a big deal, calm down.  I just don't get it.  Carry on.

Yeah, I've read the books.
Calm down? I just didn't get your remark.

Its combination of medieval fantasy and titillating nude scenes have helped to make Game of Thrones one of television’s most popular dramas.

Now, however, a star of the series has disclosed that one of its leading actresses has refused to appear in any more topless shots.
Oona Chaplin, who plays the noblewoman Talisa Maegyr, tells Mandrake: “One of the girls in the show who got her kit off the most in the first couple of seasons now doesn’t at all because she said, 'I want to be known for my acting not for my breasts.’ ”

The granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin refuses to name the actress, but there has been much comment among viewers about Emilia Clarke, who plays the exiled princess Daenerys Targaryen, no longer appearing in such scenes.

Chaplin, 26, says she has no problem with the nudity herself. “I’m quite controversial when it comes to that because I adore women’s bodies,” she says at the first night of The Great Gatsby ballet at Sadler’s Wells. “If it’s done in a beautiful way, in a way that honours the female form, then I’m always happy to see it.”

From that description I would think she's referring to Emilia Clarke but she got nude again this year, so I'm going with Esmé Bianco who hadn't been nude until her death scene.

As much as I like naked ladies, the show doesn't need it so I'm not against the idea of toning it down.

I'm really glad they killed her off. Her nipples were about as plot-relevant as nipples on a breastplate.

I was starting to sympathize with her, so it was really in line with the ASOIAF policy that she was immediately killed off  :lol

As long as it's not Natalie Dormer, I'm good.

While it was happening during this episode, I turned to my dad and sis who were both gaping at what was happening and said, "I can only hope to one day be as heart-crushing a writer as George R.R. Martin is." :biggrin:

That was insane! It is cool not to have known what was going to happen by having not read the books, but having a hunch based on how good a job that show does at leaving subtle clues.
  Just an intense scene starting with the change of mood music. Well done for sure. And the John Snow scene was great also. Bummed there's only one episode left.

My God that was beautiful carnage!! 

Well worth the 3-year wait!

Seriously, as it was happening I kept turning to my non-book reading friends and seeing their looks of disbelief and when the credits started there was 20 full seconds of complete stun silence! GLORIOUS!!!

I just kept thinking to myself as it was happening..."the friggin balls of this story to continually do this stuff".....it really is what makes this show great.
  I mean Rob Stark was a stud. They even gave him a great goodbye by allowing him to survive the carnage...make his way to his dead wife....stand up proud and tall and just take it.
  Then his mom...wow...such an important character...see ya!!  Wow...just isn't the right word.

Welp, I haven't watched a lick of S3 until catching up yesterday night and all of today, just in time for the finale.... This is my favorite show. It wasn't until this final episode but it has just surpassed Breaking Bad for me... That was god damn sexy as all hell. I love the naive little shits getting their panties all wadded up over this. They have no idea... This was great. Absolutely orgasmic episode. Red Wedding. Finished. As did I. Mmmm.....so hard.
