Re: Game of Thrones Rape Scene - April 26th 2014, 05:18 PM

This comment from Martin suggests he doesn't always have a final say on things :

Quote:
The setting is the same, but neither character is in the same place as in the books, which may be why Dan & David played the sept out differently,” Martin went on. “But that’s just my surmise; we never discussed this scene, to the best of my recollection.”
I want to make it clear I'm not angry that the scene was in the show (okay maybe I'm slightly angry because it was so different from the books and NOT part of the story). I'm angry at how they've basically rewritten Jaime's entire character arc because of this AND the fact the director still denies this is rape and says “It worked out really well. That’s one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever done.”
