I like to think I'm no prude when it comes to sex scenes but I am beginning to find the rumpy pumpy in Game Of Thrones a bit surplus to requirements at times.

It feels like they have some sort of quota to fill which hasn't really got much to do with progressing the story.

It's also a bit one sided.

Lots of shapely lady bits and the occasional flash of gentleman's bits (and then not always of the highest quality).

My preference is a matter of public record but as the series and the books have a large following across the gender lines and would it hurt to show less attractive women as well as the classier strumpets and have the chaps bother to disrobe before commencing?

To be honest and perhaps more pertinently they could cut about a quarter of the sex scenes and convey exactly the same atmosphere and maybe squeeze a bit more storytelling into each episode.

Hell yeah!  Sherlock is simply amazing.  I'm particularly happy with what they did with Moriarty - I was wary of his characterization in Series 1, but after Series 2 I wouldn't have had him any other way.

"People have died!" "That's what people DO!"

Is this the thread where people spoilerificaly discuss the ending to Series 2 of Sherlock?

Wait... You mean you haven't seen season 2 of Sherlock???

Actually, I have.  I wanted to discuss (spoilerificaly) the ending.

IGNORED!!!

Hey...

Ultimate Spider-Man

It's got nothing on Spectacular. Why they have saddled the webslinger with Nick Fury and bunch of nobodies is a mystery to me. A very large part of the character's appeal to me is that he is a young hero that has to make hard choices on his own. We've already got The Avengers - Earth's Mightiest Heroes for a Marvel team-up cartoon (which by the way is excellent).

Bring back Spetacular

Spectacular

Spider-Man

Spectacular.....

 less attractive women

Theon's companion on the ship and his sister certainly qualify, I think.

She looked less attractive for television but if the aim is to build a realistic feeling fantasy she was average to real life.

You'd pass many women, happily married with active social lives who look like her and you'd bet there would be some women who would envy her looks (especially her figure).

Though that was one of that episodes surplus to requirements sex scenes.

You could have got the same impression (probably better) by having the scene nonsexual and have Theon describe to a none too interested male sailor the of the sort of heroic return he was expecting.

I thought his sister was rather attractive in a strong Celtic young matrony way and all he did was a bit of a fiddle mid-drive.

What I was talking about was locations like the brothel.

Surely there are tired pug ugly women of court who would pay for a bit of slap and tickle either from a sexy fella or a sexy gal.

Also I imagine there would be wealthy men of court who prefer pug ugly women or really rotund ladies.

It just seems like the show is pandering too much to the titillation angle rather than painting a diverse and realistic no holds barred fantasy world.

lol at "rumpy pumpy."

Good lurker name but I'm too lazy to look for it...

How do you permanently delete your profile? I didn't know you could do that.

Doesn't really matter to me anyway, I got rid of mine for good by opening up notepad and typing a bunch of stuff I can't remember like "sdjkhsdfkg" into it and then changing my password to that. I then proceeded to deactivate my account, and when it asked for my password, I copied and pasted it into there. So now, even I wanted to re-activate, there's no possible way I could remember what I typed. I'm pretty proud of myself for that.

Just saw the pilot of that new Batman television series and it's really bad, like Angel but without the vampires or The Equalizer without Eddy Triple Wood bad.

He doesn't even have an batcape or anything and the villains all have normal faces and why is called Person Of Interest?

Person of Interest has become a pretty good series.  Much better than the standard CBS Cop Shows.

I've seen my share of dull pilots turn into solid series so I will watch some more.

Jim Caviezel looks like Eric Roberts but lacks his nutty edge (which is the bit I like, especially when I was him for a brief period).

I dunno.

More importantly, what's with Jesus working for the CIA on this show???

The Celestial Intervention Agency has a very broad recruitment base.

You may be an agent and not even know there is such a thing.

I, Claudius

Sooooo Good.

I love this TV program. I must've watched it a gazillion times.

I am re-watching this one. It's very well done.
