Game of Thrones (TV series) excitement

Actually I dont think Osha slept with Theon in the Book. You're right, she just bends the knee.

But, it's the weekly f*ck scene, so it had to be shoehorned in there somewhere. It's the worst thing about the series.

But, it's the weekly f*ck scene, so it had to be shoehorned in there somewhere. It's the worst time about the series. It has been shown throughout history that chicks will use sex to get what they want. In the medeival context, since women were essentially 2nd class citizens or even considered to be just property, sex was the only tool of influence they could use. From Cleopatra to the Soviet Union using female spies employing seduction it goes on and on.

Aye, but in 'Game of Thrones' it's cheap titillation and quite unnecessary in most occasions. Take the character of Ros, for example. Nowhere in the books (I'm led to believe), so her character is there for the tits essentially. In the end, it brings the whole show down a notch, to be honest. However, it's still a quality production and probably my favorite thing on the tele. It trumps even 'The Walking Dead' in my opinion. It just needs to quit ticking the "fuck of the week" box.

Take the character of Ros, for example. Nowhere in the books (I'm led to believe), so her character is there for the tits essentially. Isn't she based on a nameless character from the books, though? See, in the tv series she's already eked a name out of the deal.

I couldn't tell you Aces, I haven't a clue. But, my mate, who's read the lot, says she's not in the books at all. She might be a composite, but even at that rate, she's only there to get her kit off. In any case, I've just finished watching 6 and it's pretty good. I'm liking Jon Snow's story and Arya's too. They're probably the most interesting for me at the moment.   the scene with Balish, Lanister and Arya in the same room was excellent

The inclusion of sex and nudity is important to Game of Thrones because it will severely limit the number of pre and recent pubescents from hogging up all of the seating space from adults at the cast question and answer sessions at Comicon.

so her character is there for the tits essentially I like tits.

Aye, but in 'Game of Thrones' it's cheap titillation and quite unnecessary in most occasions. The Spartacus TV series surely wins the crown for this? But it's still great fun TV series

Couldn't bring myself to actually watch it Neil. From the trailers I saw, it looked pretty awful. I feared the same, and although the first episode or two were a little rocky, the series was great over-the-top entertainment! Nearly at the end of the 6-part prequel series now, which has proved to be just as much fun. And from what I hear, the next full on series is suppose to be pretty good too! So, it's certainly no "Rome" and doesn't pretend to be, but for some over the top roman blood, guts, sex and drama, tis great fun! Recommend - Watch the first 4-5 episodes of the first series and then decide!

I might give it a spin. Certainly didn't look like anything near 'Rome', that's for sure. -- -------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ---------- Neil, Shootem: The Secret Behind The Game of Thrones Excessive Nudity (probably NSFW) Funny, but also sort of sad too. Cos it's so bloody accurate. Can't help feeling that there are people at HBO deliberately going for that angle.

I might give it a spin. Certainly didn't look like anything near 'Rome', that's for sure. Oh, it's nothing like "Rome". Rome is a full on intelligent drama! "Spartacus" is more like "300" meets "Desperate Housewives"

Oh...oh right... *slowly backs out of the room, when Neil's looking out the window*
