While I personally don't want to watch sex scene after sex scene (one of several reasons I have yet to watch GoT), I would be all for more LGBT inclusivity, which would include the relationship as a whole, not just what goes on between the sheets.

Well, its not really what drew me to GoT, either (in fact, I've never seen any of the 1st season, where most of that took place).
My point is, thats how you would 'sell' the Realms to someone like HBO. Hawt (slutty) nobles (and mages), hungry dragons, lots of 'inhuman' creatures (they'd have a field-day with Mindflayers), and all sorts of non-mundane (trying to find the most 'PC' way of putting that) sexual couplings. Hell, they could even just do a show called 'The Steel Regent' focused on Cormyr and Alusair and it would sell.
Not sure if Szass Tam or Manshoon would work better as the BBG - lich wizard baddie is over-done, but Manshoon might come off as a Bane (Batman) wanna-be with magic. Definitely NOT Sememmon - too 'Snape' - or Fzoul (people would keep expecting him to tie some poor girl to the railroad tracks... while twirling his mustache). Maybe start off season one with the Gondegal storyline, and see where it goes from there (it doesn't have to follow FR canon religiously). Shouldn't really begin with the 'baddest of the bad' because then things would escalate (jump the shark) too quickly. Also maybe the storyline with those guys who were trying to control weapon-sales in 1e/2e (Iron Throne?) Simple villains at first, maybe just bring Manshoon in for the season finale. Tam could come later (have Red Wizards make random appearances every so often, to establish their presence ahead of time).
Damn, I could fill ten seasons of scripts with just Cormyr's plots alone.  |

Where do you see the realms in 10 years? 20?
