my god they've finally done it, 3 birthing scenes in one season!


What an achievement of humanity. 3 painful bloody birthing scenes in a single season. Women's greatest achievement on display for all to see, not once but 3 times!

This has got to be some kind of record.

It was a sign !

What a boring season finale, no wonder HBO are annoyed it's leaked.

How George R.R Martin wants 'at least four seasons' of this show I have no idea. What are they going to pad out each episode with, more birthing scenes?

reply

Four seasons would be a miracle unless they keep time-skipping. I just hope HBO goes back to the yearly formula instead of the dreaded two year wait that started with GoT S7.

reply

Yeah because going by S8, the more years it takes, the shittier it will be.

That’s what I said. Trust me I was like “Oh geez c’mon now! AGAIN?! Not that I”m anti woman but seriously is this a thing in this show? Sure seems like it. With all the trouble they have in childbirth you think they’d stop getting knocked up.

reply

Until very recently in human history, childbirth often had sketchy outcomes with considerably lower success rates than today.

reply

I don’t think even a series like E.R. had as many birthing scenes in a single season. Let alone so long and graphic.

reply

They haven't addressed their issues any further! For other activities, that take place, in the evening.

reply

Another reason why this is a subpar series compared to GoT. In GoT we got several episodes of hot naked women. In this, we got several scenes of unattractive women spewing out kids.

reply

It's a very deliberate act.

reply

It really is, this show has gone out of it's way to present pregnancy, birthing and just motherhood in general in such a cynical manner. The feminist bent of the show is quite palpable.
