    As much as I dont have a problem with gay people at all, I had to look away during the scene when the two guys were getting it on but then my eyes quickly returned to the screen when the "beard" wife came in and dropped her gown, phwoaarrr!

    LOL! I did comment to my girlfriend at that moment, "Why don't you adjust your dress like that for me?"

    PS: "beard"??

    I dunno, maybe I'm getting prudish in my old age, but I have to say, I'm getting tired of all the tacked on sex scenes in the show. They really are just ticking the boxes sometimes.

    Seems like they've been better about it this season. A lot of nudity and sex scenes are pretty matter of fact and in some cases was toned down from the original version (Grand Maester Pycelle's scene for example), while others which had been inferred to have taking place in the books were added (Renly & co.).

    I just wish the episodes were longer to account for the scope of the story and give them time to linger in dialogue and verbally underline some of the character background info. For example, Davos is such a great character and they have a wonderful talent playing him, but if you haven't read the book you know very little about him at this point.

    Haha you must have heard that term, its when a gay guy marries a woman to give the impression he's straight, the woman is referred to as a "beard" that he is hiding behind

    Damn, a great episode last night with some nice politicking and foundation-laying. Been waiting on the Davos/Melisandre scene beneath Dragonstone and glad to see they got there. Also really glad that some of Davos' backstory as it relates to how he came to be in Stannis' service was covered, even if the dialogue addressed it in an oblique and incomplete manner. They really should have spared two more sentences for that scene to clue in the audience unfamiliar with the books a bit more thoroughly.

    Also, out of curiosity, are any of the people who did not read the books wishing they had added superimposed/graphically subbed in place-name cues for each major scene change to new locations? I assume they did not do this because with so many locations and scene ping pong it could become more distracting than helpful. I just hope those of you who have not read the books are able to keep up enough to stay engrossed.

    a maguffin. it shows up i think once more, and gets mentioned a total of a few times.

    Its just to prove shes more than just talk on the witchery front, and to show the lengths stannis will go to for the iron throne.

    Probably my favorite episode so far tonight. The plot is properly thickening now and there were a lot of treats for book readers in the new characters (qhorin halfhand, Pryatt Pree, Quaithe) There were a few book changes, but altogether acceptable. I'm saddened that it looks like the Reeds are not going to be in the show now at all with Bran having Jojen's green dreams and what have you. Very fun episode tonight in total though!

    Good luck Neil! You are in for a treat!
