After finishing off the Better Call Saul season, Polite Fight is back—you’d hardly knew it left! John and Gus turn their analytical attentions now toGame Of Thrones, starting with the season premiere, “The Red Woman.” We take a look at how the show makes sophisticated, unobtrusive choices that elevate the storytelling in two fight scenes and the assassination in Dorne.

  1. It's interesting, in episode 2 of season 6 when (spoiler) walks out onto the rickety old bridge in the stormy weather, something about the framing of the scene just shouts: "He's going to die!"

  2. Every time Melisandre is naked she dos it for a purpose for the show. That can't be said about many of the other naked women on the show but she is the exception. The time she slept with Stannis has a purpose leading in the next time she is naked which is when she is giving birth to the shadow assassin. In this scene, the reason she gets naked is to show her vulnerability and weak she is. Right after she is naked she goes right into the bed to rest.

  3. Yes! So glad y'all kept it up w/ "Polite Fight," even if it is, as Gus said, "trashy," etc. But, I will say that for its trashier elements, it does have some of the best character development and resolution-moments I've seen this decade, specifically in television.

  4. Even you guys say nothing of the Ramsay and kennel masters daughter scene. Like the way he stands and admires the ugly bruised part of her face and not the pretty one which we see.
