It's not in the books. It's used to imply something that would be hard to show on TV otherwise. It also sets the stage for an important occurance later on in the series

I'm kind of shocked that there are people who read the books and didn't pick up on Loras and Renly being lovers. I never pictured Renly as being such a sissy though.

It bugs me a bit that they can't have two characters talk without delving into some exposition on their family heritage or some piece of recent history. I think Theon has had the exact same conversation about the Greyjoys with Jaime, Tyrion, and a whore now. I guess they have to do it on some level. Fortunately this episode wasn't nearly as bad about it as others have been
