Yeah, as much as I’ve loved the start to this season, there have a been a few iffy things (we’re always gonna quibble, so it goes), but the altar scene really bothered me. I remember the consent/force issue being handled differently in the book and the emotional stakes feeling completely different too. I just wonder why HBO seems to feel the need to up the violence on women quotient.
I think I’m also still sore from the way they used Ros in the “Beautiful Death” campaign.
