First of all, I'm not sure about how they're characterizing Shae. On the one hand, she's less fawning and obsequious than she is in the book, which gives her character a depth that she lacks in the novels. This is all to the good, and probably reflects that Tyrion only sees her through his love-drunk lenses, and forgets who she is. But I'm not sure that the actress is selling why it is that Tyrion would find Shae so attractive, specifically her unconditional (with a fee) acceptance of Tyrion.But I REALLY didn't like Tyrion getting knocked out by his own men at the beginning of the battle. Granted, it was funny! But it undermined the fact that Tyrion really is an effective warrior when he's forced to be. My theory is that they didn't have the budget to stage a big battle, and so they had him knocked out so they didn't have to show it.</blockquote>
