The discussion was full of both funny memories but also of fond memories and a sense of appreciation from the success of the show.
Serious Discussion
The panel also touched upon the serious topics of early seasons’ issues with nudity and sexual violence, with Clarke revealing her feelings of “shame…about being depicted as a powerful woman” due to the way her character would be sexualized by the camera angles and costumes she had to wear.
The two former co-stars were still in high spirits and were happy to be reunited. Momoa even joked that they had not seen each other since “i think since you murdered me,” referring to how Clarke’s character ended up killing her love interest on the show.
