Watchin Game of Thrones season two

My bro dropped off the box set, and I watched the first four eps. It's an interesting series, great production values, really worth watching for Peter Dinklage alone. It's pretty impressive how they weave all the narratives together. That said, I don't know that I will go back and watch them again. And I don't know that I'd ever get into the fandom. I used to read fantasy when I was a kid (weaned on Tolkien) and the problem with reading Tolkien first, everything tends to pale in comparison. Now my bro was into the books from wayyy back, and while he enjoys the books, (and the show) he does think the nudity is very much beside the point, and I get where he's coming from - for example, he thought I'd like the series because there is a depiction of two male lovers, (though it stops pretty quick, unlike the girl on girl and girl on guy sex) but I said, you know, it's not about the fact of two guys, because I have no connection to this pair, (unlike the pairs I do ship) and I don't find either guy attractive! And the one gay character is a bit stereotypical. Where I find the show most interesting is the depiction of female power - through marriage, through sexual charm, and even some magic, if anything keeps me watching, it's to see what happens with the gals on this show.
