No, see, it\'s become a thing on /tv/ to post pictures of Saoirse Ryan whenever someone mentions that line. Mostly because people who aren\'t Irish think that Saoirse would sound like Cercei.

** Combine this with fetish fuel. The second review linked above, by Gina Bellafante, claims that all fantasy is boy-oriented, and the sex was added to draw in a female audience (despite all the sex also being in the source material). All the sex is rough, borderline non-consensual in some cases, doggy-style sex and almost all the sexy is designed for the MaleGaze. Yeah. That's a Chippendale show, that is, with all the tits and girl-ass and from-behind-boinking. Kissing is for dudes.

* AndTheFandomRejoices: Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister. Sean Bean as Ned Stark was almost met with as much praise, and most of the other casting is also loved by fans. Ian Mc Neice as Illyrio and Rory Mc Cann as The Hound were two where the fans rejoiced but the characters weren't as important.

-->''We meet Tyrion Lannister, aka The Imp, enjoying the talents of a working girl and showing everyone else in the show how to act without looking like you're acting. Seriously, if you have no interest in Game of Thrones at all, just tune in to watch Peter Dinklage wipe the floor with his cast mates. He's effortlessly brilliant.''

* AdaptationDecay: While the general consensus among fans is that the pilot episode is an ''excellent'' PragmaticAdaptation, the changes in the scenes between Daenerys and Khal Drogo (notably: cutting out Daenerys' first ride on the silver mare, setting the wedding by the sea when in the books the Dothraki are strictly inland-based, and [[spoiler:turning Daenerys and Drogo's wedding night into marital rape]]) really kind of suck.
