Definitely gay in the books scalius Send a noteboard - 16/05/2011 10:06:19 PM
I know people say after re-reads you can see it but I don't care. I read the book once and didn't notice this and I liked it that way. (Not that there's anything wrong with it).


It's not so blatantly obvious, but it's there and in fact it's kind of important to understand their plotlines and actions. If they weren't gay, you'd be left scratching your head at some of their choices. Being gay makes those choices clear.

Now let's assume they actually are gay. That still doesn't make it okay to be so obvious about it and give them such a big scene. That was handled horribly. A few subtle hints would have worked too, for fuck's sake.


I didn't like the in-your-face style they chose. They could have easily kept it more subtle like the books and still made the point, but I'm not going to worry about it. It was odd, but as long as it's not a running theme (the obviousness of it that is) it's all good. Actually, did Littlefinger ever make such a remark during the tournament in the books, when he referred to the "friend" in losing his wage to Renly? That alone was a bit obvious compared to anything I remember in the books that I recall.
I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.
