*Q15
• The term X was coined in 2011 by the blogger and critic Myles McNutt to describe scenes
in the HBO TV series Game of Thrones in which characters reveal crucial information
related to plot and character development during intimate scenes. Author George R. R.
Martin said this technique is in line with the purpose of sexuality in the A Song of Ice and
Fire books, and acknowledged that this technique allows for the exposition of
motivations and incentives not available to the TV show. The term X has since been
retroactively applied to similar practices in many earlier works, including the older HBO
shows Deadwood and The Sopranos (frequently set in a strip club), many older cop films
(likewise) and even the 1930s comic strip Jane. According to critic Poniewozik, the
