Game of Thrones begins....

[Valmy]

In Southland, people were still going "OMG! He's a faggot?" mid season 3. I thought that show hit the right level of subtlety. They could've been satisfied with the clues during the joust here, aswell, but instead they need to slap on a goddamned trumpet and town crier announcing the fact.

Um Cooper is one of the main characters of the series.  Loras and Renly are not.  Having a big subtle sexuality thing for minor side characters would be ridiculous.

[Slargos]

Wait, who's gay in Southland?

Cooper, it can only be Cooper.

Can't believe I missed that.

My point exactly.

I'm just saying it doesn't need to be on-screen blow jobs. The Joust established the relationship already, and we're left without much confusion during the "manscaping" session. I simply think less is more.

This thread is way too gay.
It needs to be sanitized:

I think the later sniggering about how everybody was certain that Margery Tyrell was still a maid in the books pretty much leaves it out in the open as much as possible, without Littlefinger commenting on Renly's preference in whores.

I never saw it. Man.

[Martinus]

What made the scene creepy?

It does seem to differ from the book, where the answer is "Renly is vain and Stannis has a stick up his arse." Why make Renly's decision the result of seduction by a dumb twink?

Erotic armpit shaving is a bit creepy

You would be surprised. 

Speaking of the *slurp slurp* sound. On Penny Arcade forum someone concluded "Maybe they are just bros".

[Viking]

I must have missed Marty's love of lesbians. 

I am sort of stretching his love of pretty young boys.... I'll grant you that...

WTF. Aren't you confusing me with someone? I have consistenly been falling in love with guys in their early to mid 20s.

You do realize that "young boys" means kids, right? Fucking idiot.

The older I get the definition of "young boys" expands to include higher and higher age ranges.

[Martinus]

Anyway, all you straightforward ghey haters go to hell.

Btw, awesome episode. Despite the "manscaping scene", I think Cersei and Robert little chat was the best scene, followed by Littlefinger and Varys and only then the ghey shaving.

[viper37]

I have yet to see any gay ass-spearing scene on cable.  Except Queer as Folk Music.

True Blood & Spartacus for sure.  Don't know about 6 feet under. 

[Habbaku]

The ghey shaving scene, while not a bad scene at all as far as further developing the characters and the relationship between Renly and Loras, was nowhere near the best scene.  Certainly not the 3rd best.

The back-and-forth between Varys and Littlefinger was the best, for me, followed closely by the meeting with Lysa at the Eyrie.

[Valmy]

Skinny Lysa and Sweet Robin were awesome.

I want to see the bad man fly!

Pity we will not see them again until season 3 or 4 once they leave the Eyrie.

Well, obviously you should appreciate why I rank "gay sightings" higher in my ranking than you would do. Still, I gotta say it was an awesome episode. Lots of cool stuff.

Lysa the Nut rocks.

[Berkut]

I didn't even watch it. Three hour Survivor finale was on, and my wife absconded with the TV.

[Martinus]

Btw, while the episode progresses the Westeros social scene by introducing manscaping, it shows that "from behind" fucking is still in vogue (see Theon and his flaccid dick). Time for Danny to invade with her progressive sexual position ways.
