Bush Finally a Head [UPDATE]
It appears HBO has done a hatchet job on old Georgie’s puss by digitally lopping off his nose and chin. While we’re only guessing from the screen grab below, it seems to be yet more cheesy Game of Thones VFX; we have never see anything so appallingly amateur and cheap as the scene where Daenerys and her dragons burn down the House of the Undying.
