I've seen some photoshoots of him, and preternaturally attractive sounds about right. I'm just the type of person who gets extra lulz whenever somebody is groomed to a Hollywood standard right smack in the middle of a historical saga or other circumstances where it's unlikely-like the female characters who wake up in full makeup. :P
Seriously though, the portrayal of the Dothraki was just like "WHAT?". I remember the wedding ceremony being intense in the books, but that was some shit right out of Spartacus: Blood and Sand onscreen. And WTF was up with the Fear Factor cuisine?
The nonconsensual wedding scene totally screwed up the very basis of the two characters' dynamic. I can only hope they somehow fix it next episode via flashback, because the storyline will make NO SENSE otherwise.
Viserys was surprisingly watchable. I mean, he's still the Creepiest Creep this side of Creeponia, but unlike the books, I didn't find his scenes impossible to suffer through.
