OMG. *crying laughing* No, I had not seen it!! THANK GOD it's being discussed SOMEWHERE. LOL, the Littlefinger brothel scenes are definitely the most ridic for me ... they seem to have latched on to the idea that it's really hot to show prostitutes being instructed? At least two scenes have been built around the idea of some chick moaning in a ridiculous way and being instructed in how to do it more realistically. *blank stare* THERE IS NO REASON FOR THESE SCENES.
Yeah, I agree with you... I can understand needing to bring in some Cersei point of view earlier than in the books. But not THIS early and not this much. You can have a character be very powerful and self-contained and still show their point of view. Yeah.. the way they've written it Cersei almost seems under Joffrey's thumb! It's ridiculous. The Joffrey actor did a GREAT job in one scene where he 'schooled' her (it was fun to watch) but I hated the whole direction with her marriage to Robert. They really played up her loveless marriage by having her whine to his face! Sorry, not the way to do it ...
And yes, there's been some shuffling of decisions from Cat to Robb. And the changes are increasing now--I think in season 2 it will depart more and more from the books. And I don't care if George agrees with it or not--it's backward-looking for him to spend his time on the television show and use it as a chance to change things. SO hate that his attention is split from writing like this. :(
