It was my understanding that this happened before Dany went to Qarth, and so that it wouldn't have been Pyat Pree.

Did a warlock try to assassinate her with a manticore after she burned them up in their house?

Maybe you should reread the first drogo/dany sex scene if you want to say he has no concept of consent. He does more so than a lot of people in the story, considering he asks "no?" 'fore sticking his finger in her vagina.

Also, you people who can't accept that some rape incidents are worse than others are infantile at best. Yes, Gregor raping the girl at the tavern was worse than anything Drogo did to Dany. Sorry if you're upset.

He proceeds to actually raping her in the very next Dany POV. Like, there's no foreplay, he just comes in and sticks it in her, it hurts, he ignores her asking him to stop and she cries the whole time. So maybe he indeed does have a concept of consent, he just gives absolutely no fucks if she consents whatsoever. That's actually why they changed it to be explicit rape in the TV show, because the lovey-dovey honeymoon -> constant marital rape -> Dany gets sex lessons -> Stockholm Syndrome progress was weird and the actors were uncomfortable with the loving defloration stuff and thought it was weird.

"You consented once, you have now consented to everything ever from now until the end of time" definitely counts as "having no concept of consent".

Thanks for reminding me of this. And Drogo is definitely not a good guy.

Oh God, why do sci-fi and fantasy authors insist on having awkward sex/intimacy scenes in their books. That kind of poo poo doesn't belong in sci-fi/fantasy. If I want to enjoy some xxx-rated action, I can watch porn or fool around with my girlfriend.

Well, the idea is that he would act like he was supporting Renly but secretly be conspiring to kill him. Stannis doesn't do that kind of deception, either, though. Plus, Stannis actually has a very favorable history as a battle commander holding Storm's End and smashing the Iron Fleet.

He also killed that bard that was too close to Shae, and did a bunch of other shady things that the show handwaved away. It's going to be really weird if show Tyrion ends up killing Shae.

He didn't have the bard killed out of jealousy. The bard was trying to blackmail him with knowledge of his whore.

"But to bring back Michelle Fairley, one of the greatest actresses around, to be a zombie for a little while — and just kill people? It is really sort of, what are we doing with that? How does it play into the whole story in a way that we’re really going to like?"

That poo poo seems to matter a lot in the books - nice to know it doesn't go anywhere :rage:. God I hope he is full of poo poo, and they just have someone else writing that crap.

Honestly, most of the people involved don't seem to have read the books. And Alex Graves seems pretty myopic in general.
