From here on out, the scope of the plot expands drastically, as every royal house in the seven kingdoms is seeking to capitalize on the political instability caused by Ned's execution and the accusations that Joffrey is bastard born. That is why you're introduced to Stannis in ep1 and Balon in ep2, and in ep3 I suspect you will also be introduced to Renly. These are not side-plots. They are integral to the over-arching story and theme of the show/books. Then why the fuck do we get 10 mins inside the brothel ? I couldn't give a fuck about who the whores are fucking honestly, or why the bitch is crying. However the scenes with Tyron Lannister were fucking brilliant. And we only get 3 mins of Daenarys, we didn't even see the dragons  | ||

And I guess 10s of dragons costs more then 5 min of Roz naked :D | ||

We're on a thread about a medieval fantastic drama show and people are complaining that the amount of sex scenes is making them uncomfortable. Seriously people we're going 5 steps backwards as far as general opinion about nerds is concerned. It totally makes sense that so much sex scenes would be included in such a story. I haven't read the book and I don't know if they are that important in there, but as far as visualizing this kind of world is concerned, it wouldn't seem realistic at all without that. In fact I'm surprised we didn't saw more of it in the first season considering the emphasis the season put on strong female characters (sex is undeniably a major leverage in every relationship). | ||

Agree with you, but also, the sexscenes are really bad. Maybe they are ment to be bad, + Show Spoiler + cause Stannis had some pretty emotional sex himself. Not sure if it's only cause he wanted a son or what. | ||

I mean the way he looks at Melisandre and acts after she whispered at his ear is very .... let's say beastly ... | ||

Imagine you are Stannis, you have had a wife forever who gave you no kids, and this super hot witch-lady promised you an heir and throws off her garments. I am pretty sure you would look a little ferocious to as you jumped her on top of the war-table. | ||

Was Melesandre supposed to drink first? Then Cressen drinks second & dies? The way I saw it... Cressen drinks first and is hemmoraging instantly... then as Melesandre drinks as blood is coming out of his nose. That dosen't make sense. (aside from the fact Davos almost yells at the table "Don't do it bro!" at the start of the scene) Or am I missing something? | ||

She drinks knowing that it won't harm her. It is the first inclination you get that she has some sort of magical power. Cressen was trying to poison both of them, figuring that he was old and it wouldn't matter if he died as long as Stannis was spared from her influence. | ||

I think its either A) He drank it not knowing it was poison since Melesandre switched cups before. B) Both cups were poisoned. Melesandre knew it all along, but she is not afraid of dying. She is some kind of witch with super powers and can not die to poison. Cressen drank it in order to give confidence to Melesandre and sacrifice himself. | ||

Of course we can talk about what's been aired ^^ As far as the scen with Melisandre and Cressen is concerned, I think he wanted to suicide, hoping he would take her with him. But she clearly saw trough his game, let him drink and waited enough to make us think she wouldn't drink at all. But than, when he's obviously started to bleed, and she's obviously noticed it, she still drinks the glass as a provocation to show him it doesn't affect her. Considering the word she spoke to Davos' son in episode 2, I'm starting to think of her as a true Targaryen like Daenaerys. Poison doesn't affect her as she as fire burning trough her veins (or something like that) and she made some other references to fire. | ||

Order of Events! -He drinks to prove it's not poison, then offers her the glass -She waits until he starts hemorrhaging and then drinks it KNOWING it's poison to prove it won't hurt her -He dies, and she doesn't | ||

Cressen is willing to die to save Stannis from her influence and knows he will only get her to drink if he drinks himself. Melisandre knows that it is poison but drinks anyway because the lord of light protects her. Yet to get the second point across the viewer has to know that Melisandre knows about the poison. Hence the bleeding infront of her, its the way the show convinced the viewer Melisandre sees through it but isnt afraid. | ||

If it's already been aired, then you don't need to mark it as a spoiler (like the line above me about Stannis and Melisandre's sex scene). | ||
