Well, that was an interesting end to an uneven season. Game of Thrones closed the book on season five on a shocking note. I don't read the books so I wasn't prepared for the multiple deaths of BIG, some would say beloved, characters. One I hated but enjoyed watching act, another had been away for seasons and the last one only got laid once! That last scene I truly didn't see coming and had to hold back the tears and catch my breath for a moment. Then I drank some Leinie's Summer Shady, flipped over to ESPN and saw my Cubs beat the Reds in extras 'cause I'm a man, damn it! A man whose favorite GoT character is a psychopathic teenage girl!
I've been careful not to give away any specific deets but the worst kept secret was imprisoned Cersei doing the completely naked shame walk to repent for her sins (kinda). I've hated/loved her character like everyone else but that was some fucked up shit right there. How's publicly humiliating someone by making them walk nude through harms way a proper punishment to deliver by a religion? Just like the seven faced god intended right? And that nun chanting "shame" the whole time? Way to rub it in, you sanctimonious bitch.
The most shameful part of the whole scene was the fact it wasn't Lena Headey doing the nude walking! The lighting on her face and body were clearly different in the wider shots and Headey was also fairly along in her pregnancy during filming. Not that it took away from the drama of the scene, her amazing performance and her body double's AMAZING bod!
Too late to submit the episode for this year's Emmys. Hope it's remembered next year.
