Game of Thrones 2x09 Blackwater

Oh wow! They did it! They cut Tyrion’s face! I wasn’t sure they would!

I can’t take any joy in Cersei’s fear, none at all

Such an amazing episode- the best yet I think. So tight and yet they didn’t rush anything.

Agreed, they saved the budget well fro this one

They actually didn’t save budget for this ep they begged and pleaded with HBO for more money for this ep

That was in addition to saving budget from the rest of the episodes. They knew they’d need more.

actually, historically speaking, there were quite a few depilatory techniques in use during the corresponding time frame that’s depicted here. Especially in the middle & far east.

Oh, I know it was practiced in Rome, Egypt, and parts if Asia, but it seemed odd given the “hairy barbarian” context. (I wouldn’t have thought it odd in the city of Karth, for example.)

Not complaining in the slightest, mind you…

I would say that would be more in keeping with cities & holds in the north. Kings Landing is “cosmopolitan” so not THAT surprising. Also given concerns about lice it would not be out of character

I didn’t even think about the lice aspect, but yes… you’re spot on with that observation.
