Or it might have just been cut for time (stupid really, given how talented both veteran actors are).<br /><br />I hope we get more deleted scenes; particularly, Bryan Cogman addressed criticisms that Loras seemed surprisingly willing to have sex with another man after Renly in "Kissed by Fire", by saying he did *write* more scenes further explaining that Loras actually *is* mourning and he's just "drowning his sorrows" with some casual sex trying to feel better (and it doesn't work, he still feels like a shell of a person after losing Renly). But all of this had to be cut for time. And I understand that time constraints are what they are (particularly as "Kissed by Fire" was absolutely packed as an episode) -- nonetheless, I'm not sure if it was only "scripted" or "filmed but cut" - probably not even filmed. Still, it's good to have these. <br /><br />Also my general view on deleted scenes remains "unless it outright contradicts other information from the TV series or books, it probably happened, just "offscreen" -- thus Doreah personally killing Irri probably shouldn't be considered canon, simply because it's too big of a departure -- while "Loras grieves for Renly as Margaery tries to comfort him" is indeed much more "canon" because it doesn't really change anything, it's just a character reaction beat.<br /><br />--The Dragon DemandsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
