The King Comes, and the Hand Strokes.

Cersei already had all of Taena's (supposed) secrets by then, what she did was merely because she wanted to see if she could feel what Robert did when he took advantage of a woman. That expression of power through sexuality is no different than Littlefinger enjoying dominion over his prostitutes, and that is really

Well my claim boils down to the fact that the books themselves feature "prurience for its own sake", and that the only difference is that you find that more upsetting in visual form than you do written. Otherwise, why show Cersei fingerbanging ladies? Or Asha playing with Theon's penis?

mmmm…..Frey Pie.

Well sure, I don't think it was "necessary". That scene was put in because they wanted to give viewers some idea as to Littlefinger's backstory and reason for having such deep bitterness against Ned. They were afraid viewers wouldn't get his character as well without that, since most of the book readers get that info

Tasha - It is a little hypocritical for you to get all up on HBO's case for the nudity level shown, which is NOT higher than the amount of graphic sex and rape described in the books. You seem to take particular umbrage to the Littlefinger scene because it has girl-on-girl action which you describe as catering to

One of the few things in the show that I'm bummed out about is the changes to Catelyn's character. In the books, it was she that insisted that Ned accept the position of Hand, for the political benefit of their children. In the show, she pleaded with him to turn it down. That theme of her being submissive continues in

"Peiople"?

I feel like we ALL just won the $500 million lottery ticket. This news will have me beaming from ear to ear until the end of the day.

You misspelled "puncher."

Without reading the article: No. No they should not.

You can absolutely say that about everything in Princess Bride that follows the poison game of wits. I think people are better off just turning off the movie there.

Let me guess; the final twist was that the murders were committed by your other two identical siblings, who were both separated from you two at birth.

Sean O'Neal is still bitter that Adaptation came out before he could publish his short story about him and his identical twin solving murder mysteries. 

That's how 100% of the characters have been written since season 3.

This is the first act of the upcoming wacky roommate-comedy spin-off: House of Bones

"Bitch get in a jam
With whores in the head
Destroying life
Even the carrots!"

Eugene can bring a woman to orgasm merely by twitching his nose. It is now my mission to post this made up fact every time you mention your date with him.

I did a lot of research (read: 3-4 google searches) on Winnie the Pooh rape, or Vinni Pukh (the Russian version) rape, and have come up with nothing. Which is sad, I was hoping for a second that that was a Russian version of a knock-knock joke.

For half a second I thought they were saying he looked like the guy from Powder.
