When I heard everyone getting excited about Oberyn at the beginning of the last HBO series I just used to smile knowingly. |

TBH my respect for the show went down the drain when I saw how much blatantly pointless sexuality and violence (which includes torture, something that I find absolutely disgusting) it now features just to keep the ratings up. |

Speaking of differences between the HBO show and the books, this was cut from the show. I think it is a shame because although it is not in the books (neither Tywin or Pycelle are point of view characters) it says a lot about Pycelle that comes across in the books but HBO missed. Enjoy. |

Yes, they do go a little bit overboard with the sex (or more particularly, the sex to appeal to a male viewer's perspective, "you two go down on one another while the intelligent male in the room explains important things" et al.), but do you not watch HBO and the other "premium" channels? It's like there's a rule that every episode of any original show much devote at least 5 minutes to things that can't be shown on network TV, usually involving naked women. This applies to Showtime and Starz, too: I really enjoyed The Borgias, House of Lies, and DaVinci's Demons, and all of those shows seem to reach a certain part every episode where the script says "now, stop and show some boobies, and once each season show full frontal male nudity too". And I do have to give them some credit for showing two semi-important side characters in love (and manscaping!) and Oberyn's pansexuality. As for the violence, I actually think the show is less so than the books. It just seems more visceral when you see it (except for the part where Joffrey was using that poor girl for target practice, since all it did was reinforce the "this is the bad person" narrative when he was already the most hated villain on TV) than when you read it. |

We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder. | |

I like how I got Westeros and this immediately turned into a Game of Thrones thread. :lol: |
