I honestly don't see the issue with the so-called unnecessary nudity. It's not like it is detracting from anything. If anything, it makes otherwise boring exposition mildly pleasing.
How is it not detracting?
- Takes time away from other more interesting things cut out.
- Takes attention away from what characters are saying.
There was nothing to the scene at the brothel at all, except that they like prostitutes. Somehow I doubt that's going to become a big thing in the story.
I see why people like it when Emilia Clarke or Rose Leslie get naked, but when two random hookers get naked...hell if that's what I wanted to see I could see 100x better and a million times more with a couple of clicks of a mouse.
Littlefinger's dialogue in the brothel season 1 is actually one of the better scenes of exposition in the series, alluding very well to what he is about to do and to his history as well. But no one remembers what he said because well, there were two whores f**king just over there...
It just shows a lack of faith in the viewers and the source material when they think they have to add nudity so people will pay attention.
Did anybody else catch the veiled reference to Jon Snow's potential parentage?
Do you mean what Oberyn said or something different?
