Nah, if he was being fired over this, there would've been some attempted to patch the scene in editing. They decided to keep it this way.
But Dany's seen new Daario's dick. I bet it was glorious.

Whut.
It's now canon.
Tyrion is convicted because Mace Tyrell is easily swayed and Oberyn is sleeping with Tywin.
In this version, Shae, Tyrion, and The Mountain walk in on Tywin, Oberyn, and Ellaria Sand.
I don't think I have to tell you what happens next.
The Mountain fucks Tyrion and uses him as a condom while he fucks everyone else?

What the hell is going on in this thread?
At least it's not more "rape" controversy.
It's 2:30 in the morning here and I'm writing erotic fanfiction for Tywin and Oberyn.
New-Daario isn't punchable enough. But ohwell, I'll learn to live with it.

What's worse is the two changes don't seem to have been made with story/character arch considerations foremost in mind, but simply to heighten the shock value of the scene. Annoying pattern.

I liked old Daario better. He had just the right amount of douchiness and swagger.

Pretty much agreed.
Also amused at this proposition put forward by a lot here that the showrunners F'd up as if the episode were only filmed a few days before airing and no one but them saw it Vs something that was filmed months ago and undoubtedly watched by many on the production team before airing. It's not a case of 'They F'd up' it's a case that 'The scene is f'd up' and that was the intent. If they didn't think it was delivering what they wanted, they'd have reshot it.
Honestly almost every episode seems to have a stupid shock value scene that was not present in the books, or was only mentioned in passing. As a book reader this damages the show for me and it makes it feel cheap.

And yet here you are 4 seasons in still watching. Clearly the bad doesn't outweigh the good.
When did I ever say it did? I said it damages the show for me, not ruins it. I am allowed to dislike things about the show but still enjoy the product as a whole.

I liked the episode. Like most others, I thought the changes in the sex scene were a little weird. I preferred the circumstances as they were described in the book, but hey, the show is a different beast and I understand that they need to make changes.
The only thing I find questionable is how the director intended the scene to appear consensual at the tail end of it. They need to re-edit the scene, because it didn't really look that way to me.

Cersei: "I-it's not like I like you or anything, Baka!"
Lol, no. They'll end it with the farmer's child being eaten by Drogon and then Dany making the hard decision to lock the dragons up. Season 5 might end with the Drogon/fighting pit scene, after a season of Dany struggling with ruling Meereen, negotiating with the slavers, fighting the Sons of the Harpy, meeting the Martell dude (forget the name), meeting the vision woman again, being proposed to and the accepting the marriage etc.
Pretty sure Drogo is long gone guys.
Who's talking about Drogo?
Also, as someone pointed out & a continuation of my last post, Tyrion needs to be in Meereen by the time of the fighting pit. He's in the dungeons of King's Landing atm, it'll take at least one season from this season's end of him killing Tywin to get anywhere near Meereen and even then they'll have to somewhat rush him from his escape to being enslaved and then doing the dwarf act with Penny.
Who's talking about Drogo?
Missed the stealth edit window!
On another subject, I am super glad they aren't doing what I thought they were gonna do as far as progressing the Sam/Gilly storyline. Maybe they just want to throw her in Molestown so Sam can get his shit done at Castle Black without people wondering where Gilly is all the time for the upcoming events there. Hopefully we still get Sam orchestrating Jon's rise to LC now. God, I was so convinced they were just going to send Sam away already. Praise the old gods.

Thanks for the mental image. I'm guessing Tywin dressed up in Ellaria's finest too.
He's like the non-freakish looking version of Bradley Cooper.
I know we're all suppose to hate him, but you guys who prefer old Daario are crazy. New Daario is cute. That wink won me over.
I'm looking forward to more of Jorah fedora.

Need more Mary and Pippen time and less Sam.

Yeah have to agree. Considering they were never really going to go with his appearance from the books, I thought he was pretty decent. He had that permanent douche smirk on his face which worked really well. The new guy is good looking don't get me wrong, but he is pretty generic.

In the books, it was pretty much "Don't go with that douchebag, stick with dependable Jorah! Why would you fall for a pretty boy! Ugh!"
The old Daario was perfect for that. Being attracted to the new one just seems fair enough.

I must be the only one not thinking the scene between Jaime and Ceisie was a rape. *shrug*
As for Daairo actor change ... it would have been OK if they give him clean look but have the new guys with scruffy looks is just very jarring from the old guy with that romance novel cover model look.

I feel the same as you, personally I think every series has been progressively worse (still enjoyable obviously) but some of the changes and the constant need for nakedness is getting cringe worthy.

He's supposed to be a huge douche and old Daario was just perfect. I fucking HATED that guy and I LIKE the new guy. THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

EDIT: oh, apparently he's filming the Transporter series now.

Tell me how you feel about fat pink masts and Myrish swamps?
Honestly I'm consistently shocked that anyone who is a fan of the books can be so sensitive about fucking and nudity on the show. It happens frequently in the books.

It's not the actual nudity (I watch porn like everyone else) , in the books it was matter of fact, in the series it feels cheap and tacky.
Edit: One of my favourite books is American Psycho, I'm definitely not prudish.
They are adapting Sam perfectly, everything in the books after his return south of the wall sucks just like the show ;P
It kind of amused me that the show conveniently forgot that Daario commands all of Dany's sellswords (after they merged the companies together) when they selected him to be her champion or at least assumed everyone watching would forget that.
I don't mind that they changed her champion, I just wish they would have had better justification. As it was, it felt like they expected everyone to forget that he is important because he commands a few thousand of her soldiers and is likely the main reason they're following her.
"Grey Worm, you cannot go, you are the General of my Unsullied."
"Ser Jorah, you cannot go, you are my oldest friend, adviser and your taste in hats cannot be matched. Also, you might command part of my army or something, I'm not sure."
"Ser Barristan, you cannot go, you also might command people in my army and are a valued adviser. Also, we can't let you do anything interesting or you might make an impression on non-readers."
"Daario, uh. I don't think you do anything other than flirt with me. Any objections from my advisers? ... What's that Ser Jorah, he's not important at all? Okay, go for it Daario, make me swoon!"

I hope they show him with a prostitute that looks just Dany later on.
AFAIK the girl in Selhorys is described as petite and light-haired.
