Okay, still confused who the witch is and where she came from. Was she in season one?
No she was not. She is a red priestess. She is aiding stannis baratheon as an advisor.
She is trying to convince stannis to accept rhollor the lord of light and denounce his god(s), and if he does so, the lord of light will see the rightful king sit on the throne(Stannis)
Im wondering what scenes they cut? Anyone have any idea
The hit fantasy drama, which is back for a second series, is based on George R R Martin’s epic novels.
The creators of the show, David Benioff and D B Weiss, who have spent more than six years on the project, admitted they had to cut a number of plots because they were too rude.
David described some scenes as “risque” and admitted they would be “behind bars right now” if they had included every scene from Martin’s books.
DB Weiss said: “There’s a lot of sexual content in the books. Some of it involves children and we couldn’t film it for legal or moral reasons.
“But the sex is one of the things that we like about the books – the characters really think about it.”
I'm not really sure, there's a lot of undercurrents but they aren't that outwardly clear even in the books. There's a lot of sex in the books, but given HBO has taken to somewhat shoe horning in additional sex scenes that weren't I can't say I believe their take that they are avoiding risque topics. The characters have all been aged a couple years, something I actually don't disagree with since even with a +2 age modifier the younger ones are all cunning and world aware to the point of near unbelievability. Of course it isn't entirely clear to me how long a year actually is in Westeros so maybe it isn't that strange at all.
As much as I liked Season 1, I felt the same way about Season 1. Had I not read the book, I would've been so confused.
I actually had not read any of the books when I watched season 1. There were certainly some differences but I never felt confused. I have to admit my wife had read the book but she was pretty tight lipped to avoid spoiling things for me. IIRC the only things I felt a little lost on were Rob's battle plans and in general the war towards the end.
I find the nudity is unnessary. I would rather have more dialogue to move the plot along.I get it. They are horny. Ok.
Do I really need to see semen dripping from the mouth of a prostitute to understand something of little finger?
Agreed. The sex scenes in the TV series are often so over the top as to be ridiculous, even in Season 1.
I blame True Blood. It set the standard for a character-driven drama to be interspersed with soft core porn. I suspect the producers of the GoT TV show are just trying to compete.
There is certainly sex in the books, but it is always to a point. Too many in the TV show are just done to titillate.
To answer the question for those of us who haven't read the books, yes I am lost a good part of the time! I still enjoy the shows though. Come here or other sites to figure out what is going on most of the time. I'm a reader and love books, but for whatever reason, couldn't get into these.
I've read all the books so I can help my husband with stuff that's not clear to him - most of the time. I also told him not to get too fond of any character because Martin will kill most of them off.
Reminds me of when I was that age and was driven wild by Charlie's Angels.
I do not watch Spartacus. I do watch Strike Back. Second season(first US season). Plenty of nudity there as well. A bit over the top.
