What is this peach you speak of?

In the books. Renly's eating a peach during the talk with Stannis.

He refers to the peach, as well. Very peachy.

I miss that peach.

R.I.P Renly's Peach.

Dolorous Edd is the best. He's a human Eeyore!

No peach in the Stannis/Renly scene?

HBO subscription cancelled.

Not even joking.

No Peach.

They replaced the Peach with the ham line.

Peach>Ham line

A shame... A peach and ham could have gone together very nicely.  Well, peach after the ham of course. It would have been the scene's "dessert". The icing on the cake... cherry on top. Ok, enough food talk. I'm not obese I swear.

I'm convinced at this point that they should have each episode peer reviewed by a room of rampant fanboys. That would certainly keep things in line. I don't envy the job of the writers, everyone is aware that it's impossible to please everyone. But hopefully they don't remove TOO many good things from the books. By good things I mean the little moments (that often ended up being fan favorites.)

The biggest feedback I hope they receive for next season: Stop getting rid of the subtleties! I'm pretty sure most HBO viewers also read fiction. They are not idiots.. no need to dumb it down so much (which can ruin moments in the process).

Heh, this made me smile.

But as great as the peach is in and of itself, one shouldn't forget to point out the symbolism behind a ripe peach -- a young lad's fit ass. Enhances the joke IMHO.

Wow, I didn't even see that until I read your comment.  That's awesome.

Also, this habit HBO has of casting actors more attractive than I envisioned the characters is...disconcerting.  I never in a million years thought I'd find Stannis and Jaqen H'ghar, well, HOT   I have a confused.

Anyone catch the reference to Game of Thrones on 30 rock last night?

Jaqen was always hot, you just didn't notice!  He's stealthy that way! 

But Stannis and Tywin both being attractive badasses is disconcerting, I agree.

[LPPrince]

If you find Tywin attractive, this may or may not exacerbate your problem.

But do you remember dat ass...

All English actors dress up in drag sooner or later, it's a thing they do.

It goes both ways for me.

I always imagined Theon to be a handsome fellow (making the Reek plot all the more sad) and yet his actor isn't much of a looker, 'Yara' has certainly got nothing on the Asha of the books and Cersei's actress really doesn't fit the level of beauty described either.

Not that I'm the type to demand that all the characters be beautiful, it's just that characters that are meant to be attractive simply are not.

As for Stannis and Jaqen.. I read the books along side a friend and she was became a massive Jaqen fangirl so I always imagined him to be an attractive dude. Stannis, I don't know really, it's not like he was described as an unattractive man, nor does his actor have 'super model good looks'. It works well enough.

Hotness of Stannis bothers me as well. The guy has more charisma than significant majority of real leaders/rulers. Large portion of it can be explained with fascism of beauty that has always been going on screen. However, lack of..attractive qualities on HBOStannis should be quaranteed and justified by the story, much like it was with HBOBrienne. Viewers  have no clue why entire realm would feel he makes such an ill-fit, uncharismatuc ruler.Surely it makes no sense to viewer  why those feeling there should be a Baratheon on throne rally behind Renly, not Stannis. Specially since HBO didn't actually materialize and nail books frequent (and unironic!!) remark of how Renly could make men love him. [Insert predictable joke about Loras]

Stannis is not only more attractive in the show, but his personality is more sympathetic.  The show highlights his intelligence, tenacity, and utter dedication to justice and seems to downplay the associated negative qualities: inflexibility, ruthlessness, and generally being a thoroughly unpleasant person.  While he is personally my favorite candidate for the Iron Throne, I preferred the more balanced portrayal of him in the books.

But that doesn't mean I won't appreciate an attractive actor

Stannis actor is attractive?

Speaking of looks though (Highlight below for BOOK SPOILER)

I wonder what they're going to do about Tyrion's nose (or lack of one).

Frankly I'm very much sure it simply won't happen.

[Costin_Razvan]

That would ****** me off so much.

Well, Stephen Dillane is no, say, Brad Pitt, but he's definitely way more attractive than I ever pictured Stannis.
