Well i have stopped watching , it seams to just be blatant porno anymore, There was a lot in season 1 but I am done. There is a limit to when it is understood in the story and when it is just sex for the sake of getting it on television.

Reason number 1 why it is on HBO here in the states. It would never be shown on standard network tv in its current form. But that aside, I am loving the story line and what it is about. Probably the best series I have seen in a great while.

Great episode, love HBO shows so well made.

Fair enough if you decided to give up on the show, can't say I agree with your reasons behind it but each to their own. Just please don't be one of those idiots who complains to the network like what happened with Nikita and got the violence toned down.

There's not even that much sex/nudity?!? It's certainly not just there for the point of it anyway. Compared to sparticus it's like sesame street pron wise and violence wise.
I really thought the scene with Joffry shuving that object up the whores ass was awesome the way it really made you realise just how sick he really is.

Yeah if people think that the TV show is too graphic they clearly have not, nor should they read the book.

Agreed. Having read the books I always find it comical when people complain about the unnecessary nudity as if the producers only added it to gain publicity. There's far more in the books than could ever be shown on TV.

As others have said, you also have to wonder about people who are disgusted by a bit of sex and nudity but will quite happily sit and watch the most pornographic violence.

What a show, latest episode was my favorite so far (the very beginning with the death and the very end with Daenerys' and Jorah's dialogue).

I just love how, despite it at the bottom being a fantasy soap opera for men, they keep the pacing so brilliant.

 Renly's death, plenty of other shows would have probably milked that trying to build false sense of suspense and waste a good episode on it, here it's BAM! done, move over to the next thing).

Best thing on TV.

Anyway, just finished with the first book, started the second. I got a few things spoiled by the internet/some people who read it, and I figure it's for the best to read the books as soon as possible and learn those things myself. It's stuff like that gif above that will always make the show great as well :)

anyone feel that the violence is more toned down this season compared to the first season? like...a lot of the gore is cut out of the frame and left to the viewer's imagination?

it wasn't like that in the first season...kinda miss it..
