[BOOK SPOILERS] Nitpick Without Repercussion #2


Lady Fevre Dream

Recommended Posts

Did they? I don't remember, but I lost interest in all things Dorne once the Red Viper got killed and then when Doran's no plot/plot was revealed, I doubly lost interest.

But, Show Dorne, might as well, since Show Oberyn has sex orgies non stop, no reason why a TV Dorne wake wouldn't be full of frenzied sex and random naked people eating grapes.

It's in Feast, first Areoh's POV. Obara says it:

"Thousands are crossing the sands afoot to climb the Boneway, so they may help Ellaria bring my father home. The septs are packed to bursting, and the red priests have lit their temple fires. In the pillow houses women are coupling with every man who comes to them, and refusing any coin".

I remember very well because I posted that quote on my FB after Oberyn was killed in the show, telling my friends we all should do the same in his honour.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. They will never be able to pass that up. What do you bet the first thing we see in Dorne is a brothel?

Ok, you have me hearing and seeing an opening shot of Dorne. Perhaps something of the 'secret city' or whatever the hell they call it, the rest of the city around the Martell seat of Sunspear. Shot of..........the outside crowds with their 'To the Spears, and Vengeance for the Viper Chants," that type of thing, zoom in on a window of a second story building, THE Dornish version of THE brothel with interesting noises coming out, and on the other side of the window, you guessed it, all the free sex in Oberyn's name. Probably, no disgusting burping whores either, no Dornishman's Wife, but all the Hawt Dornish Ass you can handle...........in the same bed. :rolleyes:

It would be a nice tribute to Pedro and the Red Viper if they showed this massive outpouring of grief from the common people over his death....but, D&D, it will be heavy on the whores giving it away for free and light on the rest of it.

Gotta love Pedro Pascal for giving us his own version of that, too. I'm still pissed off he wasn't nominated for an emmy. :tantrum:

Would be a very good marketing move. Just like they did #RoastJoffrey. Something like #DorneRemembers

Yeah, one of the Sand Snakes mentions it, saying all the whores are coupling with everyone, refusing to take coin. Lady Nym, it must have been, in her first encounter that we see with Doran. You know this shit is right up D&D's alley.

OMG and Dirty Jaime is smack dab in the middle of this? I think all of our favs should just hang there and sexposit all season, wouldn't change the story much, but the scenery would be nice.

IKR? It's like the spit on his grave. :/

I'm betting it's cause.........they couldn't find a scene to submit without the word 'brothel' in it. :idea:

I really do think the man totally deserved it, I'm not sure if he'd be supporting or guest, the way the show does these submissions for the nominations. I do wonder, does the Emmy panel insist on a certain amount of time in relation to lead, supporting, and guest, or does the show make those type of determinations? Is it choice of D&D that prevents them submitting actors and actresses in the lead catagory?

Well, obviously, if Jaime will still fuck Cersei in the D&D verse, he'd fuck anything, right? LOL

We are going to have to laugh and giggle our way through lots next year. And, of course, lots of oogling, too. Gotta get our joy somehow. :devil:

I agree. But, I mean, Charles Dance got nothing, not one nomination for supporting actor! So, that means by Emmy standards that Emilia Clark is a better actress than Charles Dance, I guess. And how does Diana Rigg get a guest star when she was in a gazillion episodes over multiple seasons, but Pedro gets nothing....eh, whatever. Ramin Djawadi better win, that's all I'm sayin. Because he already should have won one or two.

I'd be happy to just understand who chooses supporting and guest for the performers, Emmy rules or the show itself. Does anyone ever get put up for lead in this show? Obviously, i'm too lazy to google and figure it out, LOL I shall wish your guy luck.

You mean Porne, the place is called Porne, right? LOL

That's right, Porne. Dirty Jaime Does Porne does not have quite the same ring to it, but we can work with that.

Now Arya needs to get to Braavos, and be told that Jaqen is in Porne, and she can have her training there. Jaqen can have adventures in Porne, too (with his attentive bathhouse attendant). Sandor can recuperate there (with his attentive nurse). Gendry can row up to the coast and complete his task (so rudely interrupted by Mel, but she's busy lighting Jon's fire). Littlefinger is too busy starting up THE Brothel North in the Vale, otherwise he would be there, too. Someone has to micromanage THE Brothel South in Littlefinger's place, though. That's what Jaime was sent there to do.

The sad thing is I am already disappointed, already nitpicking something that hasn't even been filmed.



Now that you pulled out that passage about Dorne's reaction to Oberyn's death, which I can so easily visualize as epic on camera, especially filmed in Seville, I am going to be disappointed when they don't do it, which I don't think they will....on occasion they surprise me with competence...but those occasions have come less and less. So, I don't think we will get a huge crowd exterior stage setting scene for his funeral. We'll get brothels southron style.
