Game of Thrones- Tv Show- Absolutely no future book spoiler discussion.

I know right. Where did the curly hair come from?

Syrio Forel is totally wrong.

I really don't understand why HBO throws nudity into everything. It becomes a little grating and definitely very jarring. On Broadwalk Empire this became ridiculous how often they had the big lipped bimbo with her whole body on show.

If people want porn the internet will do, tv shouldn't need 'nakedness' to be 'mature'. It is taking its que from games

Most people don't find that it really detracts from the shows, or that it's annoying or offensive. In the case of Game Of Thrones, it's in the story, in the case of Boardwalk Empire... Well, I don't even remember it being that bad. What's so awful about someone getting out of a bed and being nude? It's simply more realistic (I mean, they're cheating and such, so they've ****ed and then slept with these people, and then woken up... Clothes don't just magically appear) and at the end of the day, it's just a human body, maaaaaayn.



That and the worst culprits of this totally aren't HBO shows. *cough Showtime/Starz*

The problem is that it's added in for no other reason than derivatively allowing manly men to be pleased with the fact that they're watch a show for men. As for it being realistic and just a human body; when was the last time you saw a naked man on a TV show?

This is my main problem with the show. I have a very basic idea of the plot, but there's far too much going on at once for me to comprehend or remember. I don't know most of the character's names, I don't know how most of them are related, I can't remember where the dagger and the girl's sword in the most recent episode came from, I don't know who killed who, etc etc. Not entirely the show's fault though, I do have a pretty crap memory and I missed some of the dialogue on the most recent episode because my housemates were talking during it.

It's added in because that is how the bloody book was written. (And there is much, much more in the book). This show shows a very small amount of nudity and sex compared to many other shows, there really is no issue here.

I couldn't give a damn if it was in the books, it felt jarring and broke my immersion in the show. This isn't the book, it's an adaptation, and the makers should have the creative responsibility to be allowed to make scenes as they see fit. If there was a bizarre wood-dweller who sang in stress-timed metre to the characters in the books that makes no sense to the plot then their choice to cut him would be brave and correct.

What I am saying is that the decisions the show makes should be judged on their own. I had a problem with the brothel scene because I found it derivative. If you enjoyed it then that's fine, it's a difference of opinion. But the defence that it was in the book isn't really a defence at all.

And the fact is many, many adults (I might even chance at the majority of adults), do enjoy sex and nudity. When it isn't over powering. And I think most people would agree that this series has kept it relatively tame. No sex, no nudity at all (especially in settings like the brothel) would make it unrealistic.

Realism is not one of the things this series has going for it. I'm not necessarily arguing for no nudity either, just that it's used better. Consider swearing; I have no problem with swearing if it's used in a way that makes sense. But if it feels like it's just been tacked on to try and make the show feel edgy and try and appeal to a more adult sort of audience, I'm not a fan.

The thing is, it is important to the story. Consider the part where Daenerys makes The Khal have sex with her face-to-face rather than from behind - that's quite an important part of the plot.

The part in the first episode where Viserys (the white-blond would-be-king) looks at his sister. It plays his character up to exactly as he's meant to be seen. And it shows that Daenerys is being sold for her body.

The part where the two twins (the Queen and her bother) are having sex in the tower. Incredibly important, it cannot be missed out.

The point of the nudity in the brothel was important because (despite the fact that it was, of course, a brothel) it made Peter Littlefinger seem like a sleaze and it played up the fact that Lady Stark was hidden in such a completely unlikely place that no one would suspect she was there (in a house full of naked women) as she was such an upstanding women herself.


I do not see how it appears tacked on in any way, shape or form. Nudity in a brothel is not tacked on, and the storyline required the characters to be in a brothel.

None of these scenes can be missed out or else the story does not make sense, and the characters are not portrayed in their true sense.

As above, and also even if that wasn't the case, it's often integral to the setting, not just the story. It just is, as much as swords and kings are.

I don't really have that much of a problem with most of the scenes you mention in the first two episodes, they worked well and served a purpose. However in the brothel it felt like they had an excuse rather than a reason. I don't buy that the idea of the only way that could make it seem seedy was to show breasts everywhere.
