No nude scenes with Sansa?
This season would have all been good in fine if HBO got her naked. That's too bad
shareFunny you should mention that. I read some of the books, and the scene after Tyrion and Sansa retired to their marital bedchamber was much more interesting than the one in the show. They actually got on the bed, naked, and he got a good look at her before deciding he wasn't going to sleep with her. In some ways, the tv show didn't quite portray things as grand or the same as the books, partially due to budget cuts, partially due to decisions by the producers.

Yes, but in the books, SHE also get a look at HIM and noted that "even his manhood was ugly" (quoted from memory, too lazy now to find the proper chapter and get the original words). I’m not sure if people really wanted to see THAT.
Excellent feedback. I always did like Tyrion, and I actually was never bothered by his appearance, though Sansa is something else altogether. She had lived a sheltered life in the North and had only ever seen one dwarf--> him, so she would have had narrower views on what was attractive and what was ugly. Also, as you probably remember too, she was 14 instead of 17 when she married, meaning she was much less mature than she was on the tv show.

In the books she was twelve years old, and Tyrion got a stiffie.
They just couldnt film the scene the way GRRM wrote it.
WTF? :o
shareNo, really! And it wasn't the only sex scene involving a very underaged girl, Danerys was 13 when she married Drogo in the books. Don't get me started.
They made Sansa 14 when she married Tyrion on the show, partly because of casting IMHO, and partly because GRRM made so many characters implausibly young. He had Jon becoming Lord Commander at 16, Dany conquering Slaver's Bay at 15 or so, Robb Stark winning battle after battle at 16, etc. It was a bit silly.
Yeah that does sound rather silly.
shareApparently GRRM had said that he'd made all the characters implausibly young because he had intended to jump the story forwards by five years fairly early in the game, which he didn't do as he literally lost the plot. And not because he liked writing about the wedding nights of 12-13 year old girls.
Sure, George.
that's fucking sick! i will never read the books now. GRRM is such a sick fuck!
shareIt was medieval times. They do marry young. People usually died in their 40s, so 20s were already the middle-age.
shareIn medieval times, the aristocracy married their kids off as soon as they hit puberty, and the peasantry and middle classes married in their late teens or twenties. Non-aristocratic young couples had to worry more about supporting themselves than continuing bloodlines, the aristocrats were justifiably afraid their kids would die before they could breed, like King Edward VI.
That said, GRRM clearly has a sick-fuck fascination with kids in their early teens.
that's true
shareEven though a fantasy world... it's set in a somewhat Medieval time where people lived what like 50 at the most?(There are obviously much older characters throughout the series).
Still to this day in parts of the world children as young as 8, 9 are being sold (by their parents!) as "brides" to much older men (very sad).
I imagine that when you face such difficult circumstances you have to 'grow up' quickly... I think about children living through the Holocaust or during slavery.
are you suprised? pedophilia was accepted in ancient times. the book is based on england.
