"but I found the whole "knight of flowers" title to be a tad offensive (even though it's just meant to be ironic)..."
lol you're so dumb, the series is based off the books by George Martin called "A Song of Fire and Ice" the first book is "A Game of Thrones"
the name is not meant to be ironic, he comes from a land called Highgarden, where they are famous for you guessed it, flowers
As for the whole gay scene, I was actually kind of dissapointed for two reasons, one, he is ugly as shit in the HBO special, and in the book, he is supposed to be the most beautiful knight in all the seven kingdoms, and second, this gay scene doesn't occur in the book, it's not a huge change, but it does change the story, and why? What possible attraction is there for him to be gay?
edit "bitter queen" lol, I did find that funny, but you should know the reason I call you dumb is because you assume that hollywood made this show out of thin air. If you think that Hollywood is original enough to make up a series like this, then yes you are dumb :O
