canyonwalkerGame of Thrones S5E7 features a series first: an on-screen character dies of old age, peacefully! Yes, this is the 47th episode of the series, and the first time that's happened. I won't say who it's is; it's a minor spoiler, though anyone watching the series wouldn't be surprised the death is coming.
In addition S5E7 features a couple who have sex together— and it's completely consensual. It's not the first time in the series on-screen sex has been completely consensual sex but it remains rare enough among all the scenes of rape, coercion, and false pretenses that it's worthy of note. Even one of the actors whose character is involved in this particular coupling has spoken in interviews about how this sex act is unusual (in the series) for being an expression of love instead of lust, power, or violence.
