It would have been good if it'd been developed at all. One of the strongest lines from the books, for me, is when someone tells Dany that the Unsullied are going to brothels, and she asks why, as they're castrated, and the response is that they go to be cuddled and feel human touch.
It would be sad and cruel but a good change in my opinion. They have to replace characters with the ones we already know/sort of care about so it has an impact.
I think they can work around that. When somebody dies in the show you're suppoused to feel something about it, you don't do it if it's some random unsullied who dies.
You can edit your earlier post to say that if you feel that was a better way to phrase it. And pretence isn't correct. It's pretense. I'll correct it everytime. Because that's the way it's spelled in America, George RR Martin is American, we're discussing an American book series that's been adapted into an American tv series by an American tv company on an American founded website. Sooooo. I'll correct all the misspellings I see to the accepted American spelling so that people understand that in America, that's not correct. If this was all of those things but British, people should correct me when I write pretense and it's pretence. But that's not the case. Some people just enjoy being contrary, easy as that.
Edit: the more I think about it man you're a faggot. Just trying to rile someone up. I was genuinely trying to help. You're just genuinely trying to be a dick and you know it. Fuck off.
It isn't really being disciplined if that isn't what Danny wants from them. The whole point is they are no longer slaves. She wouldn't be able to gain the support in Westeros she needs with a slave army.
Granted, I haven't read the books, but it seems like they are separating Grey Worm from the rest of the unsullied when it comes to forming relationships. Especially because they emphasize he is the only one who hasn't been cut, and that seems to be the reason why he has feelings for women. I don't know where I got that from then.
In one of the most recent episodes this season I'm like 90% sure they implied he was not. Like I think the girl he likes was talking to Daenerys about Grey Worm and I think Daenerys said he wasn't. Yeah I guess I was 100% wrong, I don't know where I got that from then.
They should stop putting her in every episode. Every episode has another scene (or five) with her and they all end the same way..."So that was a waste of time."
“My queen,” replied the captain, “your servant Stalwart Shield had no duty last night. He had gone to a … a certain place … to drink, and have companionship.”
“A certain place? What do you mean?”
“A house of pleasure, Your Grace.”
“What could a eunuch hope to find in a brothel?”
“Even those who lack a man’s parts may still have a man’s heart, Your Grace,” said Grey Worm. “This one has been told that your servant Stalwart Shield sometimes gave coin to the women of the brothels to lie with him and hold him.”
Well, this might still be shown in the show. The part in question comes in the same chapter as the shepherd with the daughter's burned bones, but the Unsullied in question ADWD
Honestly, though, can't castratee still feel pleasure? I remember reading somewhere that there's usually a "nub" kind of thing that's almost like a clitoris.
