Apparently he feels the show is terrible, with a terrible script and that it relies on pornography to cover up its terrible writing. As a big fuck you to Card, they wrote this scene to apparently show off they can write a descent scene not in the books. Pretty funny when you go back and watch it and realize the retarded cousin is named Orson. My wife didn't appreciate the reference because she has never read Ender's Game.

Wow, I didn't know that. Fuck Orson. Ender's Game wasn't that great. If it didn't have that (albeit cool) plot twist at the end, nobody would even be talking about that book, and it damn sure wouldn't have gotten a movie made. Good for the GoT writers.
