Black Death, the 2010 Film

<< < (6/6)

Sir Brian:
Do the books have as much inane gratuitous sex as the series?  :-\

Sir William:
I'd say yes...but it is more evenly spaced in the books...because the books themselves are rather lengthy, the 'love' scenes, such as they are, tend to be more like footnotes.  The author is more circumspect w/regard to coitus, leaving most of it to the reader's imagination, unlike the show which visualizes it for you. 

It is funny you should mention it...what drew me to the show was  that they were unafraid, unabashed to show that sort of thing.  I've always found it odd in books and movies when they attempt to leave that out.  For me, that takes away from the whole suspension of belief phenomenon; some movies there's no need for it, but when you're developing an all-encompassing story with human characters, it makes it more believable if they're more like regular people and not gods, per se.  They get it right for the most part I'd say.  ;)
