Phenotype posted:you put her face under a cloth like they do in real life and she gets noseplugs and a tube in her mouth to feed her air. or maybe you recognize that you're only going to need a few seconds of footage so you just have her hold her breath for five or ten seconds then cut away to something else. Honestly I feel like there's an area of sex stunt / consulting work that is sorely lacking in hollywood. A professional dom would have easily come up with an array of ways to "end" the scene for the safety of the actor or after accomplishing the effect. psa: use drop sticks whenever loss of feeling or consciousness is a risk, or whenever someone's mouth is obscured.

Or just, ya know, don’t actually use actual torture on your actors/actresses.

not a bot posted:I'm guessing this will be cancelled after two seasons. I bet it is on a short leash like that. It costs so much to make, and they had like 5 other concepts they worked on before settling on this. (IIRC, none of those concepts were Dunk & Egg) Like that Marco Polo show on Netflix. If it costs $13 million an episode. it better blow the doors off ratings-wise or it's getting canned quick.

PostNouveau posted:I bet it is on a short leash like that. It costs so much to make, and they had like 5 other concepts they worked on before settling on this. (IIRC, none of those concepts were Dunk & Egg) Dunk and Egg would have been great (I loved those novellas more than the last few mainline books), but GRRM hasn't finished those stories either yet. It seems like they were meant to play off of the main series' endgame but DnD nope'd out of putting Bloodraven in the show, so now D&E is a companion to a plot that will likely never be finished. I have to wonder if the fuckiness with show canon vs. book canon is why HBO axed all of those side projects and went with the pitch for House. I'd be more negative on House of the Dragon if I was sure it was slowing down Winds of Winter, but that book's likely never coming out, not to mention Dream or the eighth novel that actually needs to be made. Without IaF finishing, I'm down with a Westeros show made by people who actually like the world and setting. I've never been an LOTR fan so that show doesn't have my eyes yet, and Witcher season 2 needs to impress me to pull me back in.

6 million views in 24 hours and #2 trending on Youtube behind only the Smash Bros announcement and no downvote bombing. Pretty impressive actually. Perhaps s8 did not do as much damage the brand and people thought.

Why are there no dragon skulls in the red keep in the trailer? Is this a book thing where they took them out before, also?

It just sucks that we're told and told about how badass the Red Keep is with the dragon skulls everywhere, and when they show us the Red Keep before Bobby B and there are no dragons!

Captain Splendid posted:If it's 200 years before then only a handful of dragons will have died yet. The big, important ones would be there, though. Balerion the Dread et al. Unless they're still alive; I don't know how long dragons live. In retrospect, this show makes sense as an attempt to salvage GoT. It's entirely about court intrigue and civil war, the elements people still seem to regard as good, with no apparent focus on the prophecy or lore-based fantasy poo poo that ground down the later seasons. There's probably no Night King, no Prince Who Was Promised, no messianic Lord of Light stuff, etc. I can see why The Long Night fell apart after the main show, because there a significant tension would have to be the spooky mystery behind the Others, which GoT already explained in totally mundane and unsatisfying ways.

It depends with how exact they're being with 200 years (and 200 years from when?) but Balerion is supposed to have died roughly around 100 years after the conquest

It’s so funny to go back and watch the pilot for GoT and realize “absolutely none of this matters.” I imagine this new series will be entirely based on that premise.

The teaser says "200 years before the fall of the throne" is that the fall of the throne being the end of Targaryen rule with Robert's Rebellion, or is it the literal fall with the throne being melted by Drogon?

Well, those two events are about 20 years apart, so the approximation is about the same.

I tried to watch Game of Thrones over again once but I had to tap out at the end of the first episode when I realized that this poor scared little girl who we watch get abused by the only family she has, forced into a marriage she doesn't want, and gets violently raped... is the bad guy, according to D&D.

An arc where a very sympathetic protagonist becomes an unhinged antagonist could have been amazing. But it ended up being an idiotic rush job.

Also what a total disaster that was for poor Emilia Clarke and all the poo poo she had gone through. After everything else, it really feels like they ruined the character just to spite the actress.

Oh yeah reading the books after watching the show its pretty clear that its an arranged marriage and Dany has to adjust to the culture shock. In the show its like a skyrim SL mod. An insane mind posted:An arc where a very sympathetic protagonist becomes an unhinged antagonist could have been amazing. But it ended up being an idiotic rush job. Wild how Netflix's Kingdom did all those supposed story beats including unstoppable undead horrors and politics better than HBO's flagship TV show.

And in similarly-named Netflix TV shows, "The Last Kingdom" is what happens when commanders on both sides of a military conflict are generally not morons, and if they do dumb things it's for explicable reasons. Give Uhtred of Bebbanburg two dragons, artillery, the finest light cavalry and spear infantry in the world, a face-changing assassin and a whole goddamn castle and the Night King wouldn't have made it within 100m of Bran.
