While I do think that one added scene last night had a lot to do with "must show obligatory ta-tas" it did give more insight into what makes that character tick, as well as how ... mercurial ... his moods are. It could, however, have been about 2 minutes shorter and minus all gratuitous nudity.

A certain other added scene where character A, goes to character B and asked him to pass a message on was, IMHO, made of win. Several moments in the episode dealt with A having to suck up because he's not Ser A, and he's new in town and nobody here knows who he is (unlike back home) and then he stumbles upon B (Ser B) and sees that no, this guy has to suck up a lot of crap, too. Then A and Ser B have a moment where they discuss that yeah, they've met before during a military campaign, and for Ser B, you can so totally see it's a happy memory because it something that he felt right about doing, as opposed to what he's doing now. Then A asks Ser B again to deliver a message and that sends Ser B right back down to earth. So of course Ser B ends it by harshly reminding A that A is a servant and he doesn't do the bidding of servants, nor of A's master.

I think its a wonderful moment into what it's like to be both characters, and in to what makes Ser B the kind of person we see.

Took me far longer than it should have to figure out the scene you were describing. But yes, AWESOME scene. Spot on.
