Even beyond this show, I think that’s such a flaw we have today when it comes to watching shows with the internet/social media in such easy access.

We’ve developed a mentality where everything HAS to be picked apart to a carcass before we’re satisfied. It’s a little sad honestly.

And like I pointed out in the ROP thread, if you want to play the game where you logic and science everything to death based on current day science, you are inevitably going to reach a point where you have to make rationalizations, leaps of logic, and ignoring the science to justify what is on the page/screen.

Black people in this world can have white blonde hair, cool, add it to the pile. Targaryen's have purple eyes, dragons exist, the undead can rise back up, and generations of incest has by and large not produced ghastly looking men and women. All things that wouldn't hold up to real-world scrutiny either.
