Variety

As Sonia Saraiya points out, “in a system as medievally patriarchal as Westeros’, it does all come down to penises, and who has them, and what children they produce. This has been true as far back as the major twist of the first season, when Ned Stark realized that Cersei’s children weren’t really Robert Baratheon’s.” She adds: “D*ck jokes are funny — and significant; they tweak taboo and illustrate bias, both in Westeros and in our own world.” PLUS: The long wait before next season shouldn't annoy fans, Bran’s omniscience is one of GoT’s major flaws, Littlefinger was basically responsible for everything, Isaac Hempstead Wright weighs in on the finale, John Bradley admits Sam took credit for Gilly’s Jon Snow discovery, how one entrepreneur took advantage of Game of Thrones tourism, and check out HBO's new GoT products.
