Taboos on nudity should be taboo.

Why would Jaqen H'ghar refer to the red god in his offer to Arya instead of the many-faced god, as a faceless man should?

[stonesean]

I think it was more of the fact that she watches the show being aired with her family, and it was very uncomfortable for her. Not that no boob(s) will ruin the Qarth scenes, I just think it's a nice detail of the world of ASoIaF. She may not do the boob thing, but the Qartheen might.

Sorta like they did with the Dothraki.

Random Dothraki woman had a boob or two out while doing laundry, or having lunch or whatever.........Dany generally kept her top on if Drogo wasn't around.....

Because Arya stole 3 lives from the Red God when she stopped the 3 prisoners from being burnt alive. Worshippers of the faceless men believe that the different peoples of the world all worship the Many Faced God but through different names, R'hllor being one.

He says the same thing in the books.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. After they erased a couple of characters and Qartheen fashion trends I was worried a certain plot critical temple had been caught in the cut.

Wow, finally an episode of season 2 that I really enjoyed. No unnecessary sex or torture scenes, each character's storyline made some progress, all in all a good episode.

I don't know what specifically made this good, but it's beginning to pick up.

A lot of differences with the book in the far East, though I understand why.

I agree 100%.  My only compalint, and it is completely trivial, is I miss the eunuch. I need more of him. THat actor has him down pat. I love his voice, tone, mannerisms. Just perfect.

It's part of HBO's formula that the mid-season episode is especially good.

I've liked every episode so far, though. I agree that this one was especially good.

There's a lot of stuff that still has to happen before episode 8 (titled "battle of the black water"...). I'm really excited.

Was that the second episode in series history without any exposed breasts?
