^ most of that. Also I really loved the Mel x Stannis sex scene, disparity in nudity or no. Ugh, I need more Mel in my life.
That was not a nudity I minded. That makes sense to me, use a sexual relationship that actually mattered in the canon and show it! Would be great to have a show where as many men are willing to get nude as women though, absolutely.
The only thing I didn’t like was the whole “I’ll give you a son” prompting. Other than that, yes, I’m glad they showed it. Stannis/Mel shipper 4 lyfe.

margaery is a delight, as is the casting of asha. the tywin/arya stuff gives me shivers.
I think it’s super economical to play up Margaery this way. Olenna is very cunning but she’s not ambitious. It was Mace who had the ambition, but not the smarts. Olenna’s goal was actually keeping Margaery safe given Mace’s ambitions, she was mitigating her son’s damages. Margaery as she is in this incarnation handily combines those two things and we know that they are part of her personality anyway. I adore her pragmatism, pragmatic women are just unf <333

Agree utterly, and also seeing a bit more of Pyke, Balon and Asha, and the fabulous casting of Edmu- oh wait. #not bitter

Oh, Tully babies. I miss you so. PYKE IS GORGEOUS THOUGH actually all the scenery in this show incessantly stuns me.
(Except Winterfell.)
