    Read into a scene in which a group of brown-skinned slaves call a white-skinned blonde woman mother before lifting her in the air and carrying her around? How can you not? The image was impossible to ignore. I half expected her to do the Jesus pose when they first lifted her lying down.

    It's true... there should have been a bunch of caucasians out there in the middle of the desert.

    I may be naive, but it didn't even occur to me at the time. I fully separate the events in the fictional world from our own since there's no attempt at any kind of analogy by the author that I can tell. I guess the imagery on its own is problematic, but it's not on its own.

    I'm not suggesting they should've made the slaves multicultural or deviate from the book or anything. I just have a gut reaction to the cliched enlightened-white-person-saves-brown-people trope, so ending a season on that image left me cold to what should have been an "omg can't wait for next year" moment.

    Like 8, I'm not suggesting a change, just a different tone. And perhaps don't make that the last image of the season.

    I kinda read the ending as ironic. I mean Dany is supposed to be the one person we WANT on the Iron Throne because she is kind and wants to free slaves, but it ends with her being worshiped like a God and it almost has an ominous feeling that she will be no different from the rest who sat on the throne.

    But yeah, disappointing finale.
    Sure why not?

    I didn't think of that image until other people pointed it out online, but it's hard to not think of it in a racial context now. Watashi's comment makes some sense, though. Danaerys hasn't really had many ethical challenges, and the ones she's faced (should I free these slaves?) play like foregone conclusions, so the idea that she considers herself beyond reproach could hopefully lead to some interesting drahmas.

    Can't fathom how anyone found that finale disappointing. The scenes between Tywin, Tyrion, and Cersei alone. I mean, come on.

    Dude, Bart died in May 2000.

    Credits for Game of thrones said Bart the Bear. What can I say? I never thought there'd be two stuntbears called Bart the Bear in Hollywood. :lol:

    Ok. Isn't that kind of naieve on lady Stark's behalf to actually believe such a barter could ever take place? And Brienne is a mean looking woman, but still just one person, who was essentially headed into shitstorm Joffrey.

    The Starks are naive. It's one of the tenets of the series.
