Demi-God

Need to start reading those damn books.



Also, despite the spelling issue, I lol'ed:

ACt

Is that an actual game?

Anyway, Shrike my friend - care for a competition? Let's guess all the sex scenes they plan to insert into the series beyond all the random whores at Littlefinger's. (Which, by the way, was that one of the most blatant examples of fake semen in TV history? I'm sure that woman's mother is proud.)

Anyway, spoilers... no seriously, this humourous post of sex scenes will include significant spoilers. You've been warned.

Started reading the first book the other day, yeah, I definitely see what all the hype is about =)

Episode 3 watched. Much better than Episode 2 and we've yet to go very long without boobs. And there are some nice boobs in this season. ;-)

Really enjoying how they are playing the Arya storyline. Executing it well and moving over some of the unnecessary parts with smart choices.

Not sure I like the emergence of the Tyrells though. Yes, they play the game, but you didn't know how deep they where for a while. Really don't like Loras. I'm fine with the whole gay thing, but he's such a petulant brat what with questioning his king constantly. He's supposed to be a shinning knight dreaming of chivary and they've made him no better than Theon. Terrible.

Rest is fine. They still haven't messed up the Lanisters and Brianne was pretty spot on for her brief screen time.

Brienne does seem like a great character.

The Tyrells come across as a bit one dimensional, especially Loras, but I think if they were made too important in the screen play I'd be struggling to cope with some many new characters at once. The remaining cast from Season 1 is already huge and now there are the extended Baratheons, the Greyjoys and presumably soon new characters for Daenerys.
It would of course be nice to see more of the Tyrells in greater detail, but as someone who hasn't read the book series it makes more sense for the production to be focussing on the families more directly involved with the war. My brain can handle more characters but I'd like to know the latest set as thoroughly as I got to know the Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons in Season 1. If the Tyrells become much more important later on then this might be a poor choice though.

Tyrells become more important in season/book 3.

I know it shouldn't bother me, but Tyrion's whore, Shae, doesn't become Sansa's servant until after the first of three wedding's in book 3, so they sped that up by over an entire season. Not a big deal, just something that stood out to me.

I'm currently about 3/4 the way through the 3rd book and all I can say is: holy shit. I can't wait for the next season. I really liked season 1, and so far season 2 as well. To those of you who haven't read the books, I urge you to do so. In the mean time stick out for season 2, it's slow going until about half way or a little there after.

^ I think they are avoiding Alayaya. The TV show can't have every character, but the idea that Sansa only has one handmaid is also a bit suspect.

Some, I guess, though I find the vast majority of them fairly underwhelming.

Lol'd at Tyrion's dastardly snitch finding method, I love the character more with every episode.

It's not like that novel invented the torture. The rat thing is older then 700 years.

Edit: Oh and I don't like the second season much. Must be because I read the books and this is really starting to get on my nerves with how it shits on it. I like Arya scenes so far though. Really well made.

Tzu Men

Of course, but it's so associated with the novel now that it would have been wiser artistically for them to have used a different torture method.


The series definitely if you have read the books (same goes for any adaptation), but that said I wouldn't describe the series in its own right as bad.
