I'm hoping they'll give Littlefinger more to do, especially as the Blackwater approaches. I'm also wondering, in regard to Sansa.... (spoilers) >>>>> If they'll show more with her and the Hound? <<<<<

So, I have not read the books. (Sometimes it feels as if I am the only one around here.) But great things are coming for Renly and the Knight of the Flowers, right? They're going to align with the Starks and enjoy a happy and posperous reign, right? I should be excited and hopeful...right? RIGHT?
Seriously, the character played by the chick from the Tudors was great. She should have said, puhleez, he's my brother...You think I didn't know?
In an episode that otherwise focused on duplicity (and a very literally duplicitous act), it was nice to have someone speak directly to the point and not end up immediately arrested or beheaded.I really like Margaery. She isn't really present in book 2, but they've given her more to do which makes sense because we hear a lot about Renly and see him here and there.

BTW, most of my last post was making fun of myself. Way back in season 1, during the "Games to celebrate the new hand" episode, I said to a friend of mine who is always raving about the books: "Oh, you didn't tell me their was a gay romance."
And he literally looked startled and said: "What? Who are you talking about?"
"Renly and TKOTF. I might have been more apt to try the books if I'd known there was a gay subplot."
Then my friend looked cagey. "Oh, yeah, that guy..." And, before I could stop him he told me what happens to Renly.
Now, I am watching the series with a group of people who also have not read the books, and I admit I had to pretend to be happy about the apparent inclusion of a gay romance subplot.
You kind of nailed it with (the first part of) your second sentence.@JohnnyGottaKeyboard - Don't tell me that yet again the one gay character gets killed off in a humiliating way. I mean, I guess most of the characters get killed off in violent, debasing ways; but when writers throw in a token gay character just to set up a sick murder, it ticks me off.
As it is, the only real, loving LGBT relationship we see in the series ends in a horrible death.
Then again, most of the relationships in the books aren't exactly healthy.
With Martin's background in soaps, I don't think he knows how to write a healthy/loving relationship that does not meet some tragedy...
