Game of Thrones Review: Nudity, Gay Renly, and the Hound is a Pretty Boy - #005 Brainstorm Podcast
The Brainstorm Podcast with fantasy author Clifton Hill is about writing, genre fiction and moral quandries.
In Episode 5, I'm returning to review more of the HBO series Game of Thrones, listen to the first part in Episode 4.
It's been years since I read the Song of Ice and Fire series, and a couple years at least since I read A Dance with Dragons. Intriguing to see the differences between book and TV series, that or I remember the books differently. While this might have been a bad thing with some book adaptations, the characters, the story, the acting is all so well done that instead it is just a fascinating comparison of what they chose to do differently.
The show absolutely rips through book 1, there's more nudity and sex in the show than I would have anticipated, and Renly is gay? Either I really missed this in the books, or Martin was very, very subtle with his hints. And the Hound is a pretty boy?
Quick Note: When I watched the series it was 2016 and there was a special on Hulu to add HBO for $5/mo. I think the price is now something like $15.
Sorry, more Roadnoise on this episode, and for the near future. Eventually I'll get to recording new content, and I'll do that (or at least try to do so) from home.
