Curious, was it because they turned Amy into the villian and Ricky into the good guy?
Loved Ashley and George. They were hilarious.

It's the desperate need by the GOT haters to oppose everything about the show.

He's a man in his 60s who hasn't seen real combat in more than a decade, and he took down 11 men before he was killed.
People still whining about this are just desperate to find something to complain about in the show.

Arya is the most level headed Stark.
She hasn’t had a story that focused on intimacy before and Gendry was a connection strong enough for people discussing them throughout the entire run of the series.
People tend to say the same thing about Sansa and it comes across that people equate trauma with asexuality when plenty of people who have faced trauma also have sexual desire after the trauma.

Tyrion isn’t at that point in the book.
The storyline is different but the circumstances aren’t. He is literally heading out of the gate to face a mercenary army of thousands.
Tyrion is still a slave.

It's almost like that was only one of many contributory factors.

Chevy Chase hated how Pierce was portrayed and was apprently extremely difficult to work with.

Maybe not exactly in the right, but just on the same side as most of the show's audience. Seeing what the fans want. Acknowledging that the character isn't written well or needs more development.

Yeah, broken people never have sex. This feels like a weird take.

Didn't she request that the scene be written?

He's still alive in the books past where he died in the show and is Hand of the Queen, not Tyrion.

Honestly; age issues aside, probably not. She's such a broken singleminded person by then, I don't think she's capable of that kind of intimacy. She's enormously traumatuzed, no one in her life since her mother died has shown her any sort of physical affection, even something as simple as a hug; and her training as a Faceless Assassin is designed to completely dehumanize her.

Henry Cavill has already shown love for WoW and Warhammer: Here are all his favorite games

Of course, the actor playing Geralt of Rivia must play the games. Cavill shared that he played the games and read the books as research for The Witcher series and thoroughly enjoyed them, how could he not?

God that scene was so god damn unnecessary, It was so awkward. Between Gwen and Arya it felt like Dumb and Dumber realized we haven't had literally every single female character fucking on set and made sure to fix that in fell swoop.

One of the greatest and most skilled fighters to ever live and fight who served in the Kingsguard with numerous battle experience died in an alley to some amateur fighters. I'd be pissed too

To be fair, the (d)evil protagonist going to a therapist is a trope from The Sopranos that was ran into the ground by The Sopranos. Having her just be a hook up is a good idea to be a subversion of it if the show isn't running longer than a season.

Even if she was right it was not a smart move, career wise.
She must have known Shonda would get angry when a character from her show was up for an award and she just refused because the writing was bad.
Heigl was right tho, season 4 izzie was never winning an emmy, but she should have just taken the nomination.
Shonda was a spiteful fuck too, suddenly Heigl got "reputation for being difficult" afterwards.

Are you sure? Going off memory, I think I remember reading an article, something like, she wanted a sex scene for Arya?
