I have a feeling that Renly will die at the end of the next episode...maybe not, and hope not though. Love the relationship between the three of them. But maybe we'll be let into the pain of Loras afterwards.

I hope we can get some kind of scene where see how truly terrified Sansa is. Dontos?

My boyfriend actually got this, surprisingly. He usually barely pays attention too.

I think it's more like...if you don't like it or it grosses you out, whatever, you may want to keep that to yourself. Otherwise, you will come across as homophobic to many people on here. If you haven't noticed, the people on this forum are generally pretty liberal and open-minded when it comes to homosexuality.

I've taken that last comment back, because I (briefly) forgot that Sansa thinks her bedsmaids are Cersei's spies. Yeah, I was giggling then too. We all know what "praying" involves with Renly ;)

Reeds are cut :( Sorry to break it to you. It sucks.

Yes, she has definitely been traumatized. I love how she is so strong inside though. I remember long ago after reading GoT for the first time, I thought there was a chance that Sansa might side with her captors, but she didn't. She really is sharp. I would say she is probably suffering from some serious PTSD, and it just gets worse the more and more things and "supposed" things happen to her family.

right???

She's 6'3"

Renly and Loras aren't quite prominent characters? They don't have POVs and aren't the biggest stars in the series, but they are definitely more prominent than random whores. The reason it's so not hot too you is because you are not gay. Not every scene or storyline is going to be something that you can relate to. That doesn't mean that writers just "shouldn't bother."

Sansa does not have Stockholm Syndrome. She feels no love or true loyalty to her captors. She sure pretends too, however. She has too. But if Shae didn't exist, Tyrion couldn't kill her :P

Did Theon ever go on a "YOU GAVE ME AWAY!!!!" rant?? I really don't remember that.

and why is two men kissing who are in love and both a very important part of the books a "why bother?" compared to unimportant characters who are clearly in a scene just for the gratuitous sex? Yes, yes, and it was to show some of LF's true personality as well.

True. It helped show her inner strength, which she definitely does have. It's just weird for me to see, since only very rarely did Sansa act un-ladylike in the books. But it is her handmaiden, and doesn't she think most of them are Cersei's spies? So yeah, I can see that.

She could have all of the above. I really think she has BPD, however.

Any complaints about the scene with Loras and Renly are just ridiculous. They weren't even nude or having sex. And even if they were, SO WHAT??!?!? Geez. Loved how they did the Tyrells and Renly triangle. I found it interesting how they said Margaery was "officially" a maiden. She sure strutted in there like she knew what she was doing. Threesome with two male lovers and a girl that's one of the lover's sister? ....awwkkkwarrd. Loved how Margaery was so cool with it. That was exactly what I always expected her to be like. And someone said Margaery had small breasts. Well, she did in the book too. Didn't mind the Cersei/Sansa/Tommen/Myrcella scene too much. It was another example of how sweet Joff's siblings are, and helps viewers remind them who they are, considering that Myrcella is about to be shipped off. Still disappointed with Asha. I said I would give her another chance, but there was just no spunk or fire at all. I think she needs to smirk and smile a bit more. She says taunting things, but her expressions and attitude don't back them up. Oh, and ASHA IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HOT. GET OVER IT. And who cares is Theon was attracted to her? Theon would fuck anything with a pulse, to put it bluntly. Wow. Talk about a Shae-fast forward. I am hating this Tyrion/Shae relationship. It just felt really awkward and like the writing was off. You wouldn't even guess that they have sex very often, when that's all they really did in the books. And I don't think there are many whores who treat their nobile "boyfriend" or whatever like total crap. She is so rude and crude. I don't get it. And Shae may be the worst casting decision so far. She is a terrible actress. YAY! No Ros. And the scene between Sansa and Shae? I just didn't freakin' get that at all. Also another awkwardly written scene. Sansa was just never a brat in the book. Why do they make her so bratty in the show??? Did Balon say he planned on taking Winterfell? If so, that doesn't make any sense. He never had any desire to overtake Winterfell. That was Theon's independent idea that just highlighted his treachery to both of his "families." Don't really like that, if I heard Balon correctly. I do they think they keep trying to make Cersei likable, and I just don't get it. She is a psychopath. With the way she behaves in AFFC, how can she possibly be turned into a more sympathetic character? She definitely suffers from narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder, if you ask me. The scene with Tyrion testing the different council members was beautifully done. Didn't think they had time, but they did it just perfect. Brienne was absolutely perfect. My boyfriend has no idea how ugly she was supposed to be, so I asked her, okay - is she too pretty to be described as someone quite hideous? And wanted an honest answer. He thought she definitely was not pretty at all. He was surprised that she used to be very girly and feminine. She was just AWESOME. I know how hard she prepped for this part and I think she nailed it. Is something up with Petyr's accent? He is sounding so much different from last season. :\ I MISS THE REEDDSSSS :( Loved Hodor's greeting in Bran's wolf dream. And the wolf dream itself, too. Summer looks awesome. I was a little confused with them rushing through the Gold Cloaks/Mountain's teams storylines, but I'm kind of glad they did, because I'm just dying to see the Tickler and the Mountain and the messed up stuff that they do. I'm curious if they'll be as brutal in the show as they are in the book. And I'd like to see how he does his "tickling," since we never really knew for sure.

I've getting really sick of all the gratuitous sex scenes/sexposition. I personally don't mind, but I think it's kind of giving the show a bad name to some people and taken less seriously. My boyfriend refers to it as a "medieval soap opera" with over-the-top, ridiculous sexual gratuity. I'll say anything to try to convince him to like it more, such as - "there's tons a lesbian scenes!" and he kind of had the same response someone else on here did. "Why would I want to watch a series of a show for some sex scenes???" :bang:

good

Yeah, Selyse's not sickly or weak IIRC....that's Lysa...

Yeah, it's definitely silver....I even got it "silver-approved" by someone that does hair colouring for a living! hah. All the wigs look fine. She wasn't even 100% positive that it was a wig (it was a small-ish picture on my phone), but was fairly confident that it was.

I showed that to my good friend/hair girl because of how many people have told me I look like her, and she immediately said - "wow, look at that silver hair. weird."

I hope not either...but I was thinking of how she looks a little bigger, of that shot in the trailers with Joff/Ros, and Joff is now officially a mass bastard murderer...

So is Ros pregnant with one of Robert's bastards or something? I hope she dies soon.

Yeah, I recognized the Sam thing too. That is not very "sam-like" - girls freak him out. They did this in the first season too I think. Wasn't he fixated on boobs or something? And yes on LF - he needs a new plot device to replace Ros.

I know! A friend of mine told me he thought ASHA went too far and that she must be like Cersei. *facepalm*
