User blog comment:Opark 77/Season 2 reviews: episode 4 "Garden of Bones"/@comment-5068386-20120501063614

I believe that the scene with Ros and Daisy and what Joffrey was doing to them was added specifically to show how brutal Joffrey's rages could become in order to make up for the extreme watering down of the scene where he tortures Sansa ini front of everyone. They couldn't exactly rip off underage Sophie Turner's dress the way Sansa's was in the book. Brutalizing the prostitutes ensured that non-readers got the extent of the young 'king's" darker side. Also, I begin to feel like Ros' character is being used to relate to entire sections of the book that would have been a bit long-winded to show on the tv series. Like the extended effect of the killing of the bastard children and the reach of Littlefinger's brothels.
