The books are filled with ass and *******. Bunch of half naked people, a whore house, constant sex scenes. I mean, what the **** did you expect?


Moderation.

Then again, the sex scenes don't seem out of place in the books as they do the show.


I agree -- that's my point.

man, HBO oversexing the show is starting to be annoying.


Is this in reference to the 1st or 2nd ep? Haven't watched the 2nd yet, but I didn't think there was much sex in the 1st (just the brothel scene).

seriously, within the first few chapters of the second book you have

a detailed narration of theon busting off in a girl's mouth before he gropes and feels up his ******* sister.

this **** is tame; if anything they're playing up the violence. stabbing babies? wtf? if there was taboo stuff for tv, that would be it.

what bothers me is they're adding sex scenes that aren't in the book just for the sake of having more SEX and it being ADULT. most of the sex scenes in the book are at least tangentially related to the plot.

i think babies getting stabbed is more "adult" than 10 seconds of *******; maybe thats just me. the book alludes to the baby stabbing and to littlefinger's whorehouse just the same

There's a scene in ep 2 that's a little awkward and unnecessary. I think S2 will also see many characters being dropped or combined with others. There seems to be a few plot changes as well. The name change from Asha to Yara seems a little stupid. Thought she'd be a little better looking.

Asha > Yara Greyjoy:



Margaery Tyrell:


Though I like Brienne:

They'll make it work. And @ lefty,



was it the one with Littlefinger? If so, I completely agree, did not see the point in that.

I think they can make her look pretty plain. I read her as awkward and gangly more than manotaur.

WYHI?

Yes. It was poorly cut and a little WTF. They really don't need to do that ****.
