Question: I just got done re-watching season 1 on HBO. Why does Maester Pycelle act like he is broken down and soft in the head in front of the whore in his room and everyone else then, when alone, he straightens up and cracks his back and appears just fine?

He wants everyone to think he's addled and harmless and not a player in the Game of Thrones. That's also something they threw into the series that I don't really remember being a part of the books. He actually is a doddering old fool in the books, as far as I recall.
