A brief history of pooping in Game of Thrones

At this point, you’re probably tired of hearing about poop in the Game of Thrones franchise. That’s not a sentence I ever expected to write, but after HBO’s new prequel show debuted with a close-up shot of nervous diarrhea, the floodgates were opened and a steady stream of poo-focused interviews, thinkpieces, and explainers flowed out. And in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 2, showrunner Ira Parker keeps this unpleasant theme running with one scene in particular.
