OT- Game of Thrones S05 E09: The Dance of Dragons
Arya is on her first mission. I have a feeling that a "Golem Mountain" will make an appearance this episode or next. Cersei would you like more water to lap up off the floor? We all know episode nines are insane and sometimes TV history. What's your fav episode 9 between "Ned's Dead', "Blackwater", "Red Wedding", "Wildlings @ Wall" and tonights? I'm going with "Ned's Dead' just for the simple fact that showed me anybody can get it.
Do you know why all the world hates a Lannister?
I'm sorry. Have an upvote!
Do you have to just be touched by someone with grayscale to get it or touched with the affected portion of their body?
I am so heartbroken. I Loved this show, but I just cannot watch it anymore. That was a bridge WAY too fucking far! The rape two weeks ago and now this are just too awful, terrible nihilistic character decisions that do nothing artistically. What a disappointment, this makes me question whether I even like the books anymore.

One in which they chose to do something awful that I didn't like very much. Wwe're asked to swallow a ton of negative carp to watch it and now, for me, the price is too high for the entertainment value.
I first read Game of Thrones in 1997. I have loved the books and the shows for a long time and I just can't do it anymore, maybe my language was a bit much, but I am tired of the most awful thing that can happen being guaranteed to be the thing that will happen.
All that negative carp. Deal with it.
Pathetic. The whole show is about misery, violence and suffering at the hands of those who strive for power at any cost and use the powerless as pawns in their "game". An oftentimes apt parable to our real world. Episode after episode depict acts of brutality and senseless killing, yet this one crossed the line for you, even though it makes sense in the context of the story and was overtly foreshadowed? Is it because she is an innocent? or a young girl? As if the innocent, young or female aren't killed or raped in real life? Closing you eyes, plugging your eyes and going "lalalala" doesn't make that reality go away. Boycotting the show doesn't accomplish anything either unless it provides you a naive, soothing, ignorant bliss.
People say that every week, that this one was a line too far, and that they're never watching again. And yet they keep coming back for more.

Oh my God! You mean a show with zombies and dragons and other magical shit in a fake world isn't real?!?! Are you sure?!?!
If you want to rub my face in how much more sophisticated you are than me, maybe try something other than you know it's not real, right? I am.perfectly aware it's not real, but I happen to think showing a dramatic.killing of a child is a bit much and a creative decision I don't feel like supporting or one that adds much to the show, but certainly adds to the.nihilism criticism that I have been fighting off for a while now. So with all due love and respect, go take a long walk off a short pier.
The fact that the show can have the effect on me that it does is why I love it... Even when I hate it. Not much fiction that can move me. It's not like it was cheap "shock value" either... I suspected it was coming all week (hinted at for a long time really) and it made complete sense in the context of the story.
Unnecessary
I suggest you find a new show to support
We will be fine without you
Have a happy life...

What's wrong with some discussion and criticism?!?!?
Our world is also like that, or at least it used to be. Not to bring in religion, but Yahweh commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son (only to have an Angel spare the child) and Jesus died a horrible death on a cross to redeem the world. It's biblical. These stories have been told for millenium - the ultimate sacrifice - and yet, I will agree that there was something about the little girl's cries for help that made this so much more heartbreaking. I was ready to be done with the show, and then they had an absolutely awesome final 15 minutes. If you judge a show by what it does to you - the emotional responses you have to a silly TV show, then yeah, I'm ready to move this show into top 5 of all-time territory.
It's because she was such a sympathic, innocent character and one of the few innocent, truly kind people on the show. Undeserving of the grayscale and certainly of the nature of her death. The Onion Knight knew what was going down too. very emotinally disturbing but definiteyl in line with the show.

Davos getting sent to Castle Black was akin to the Rains of Castamere being played by the orchestra at the red wedding. Unfortunately that whole sequence was so painfully Martin. This season may end up spoiling the books a good deal.

I think the point was, HE knew it was coming as well. He said his goodbye before he left knowing he probably wouldn't see her again.

Half my army is made up of unbelievers. I will have no burnings. Pray harder.
-Stannis, ADWD.
Lol, let's burn my daughter.
-Stannis, S5E9
In the book, Selyse would do that but Stannis wouldn't. They got that backwards.
In the show, Stannis wouldn't do it as he's been characterized. Like even ignoring the moral calculus and the whole his brother rebelled against exactly this kind of nonsense things, the one redeeming feature they've given Stannis is that he loves Shireen. AND even ignoring that, he's a stickler for the rule of law and he just created a succession crisis in the case that he wins, because HE HAS NO HEIRS.
This plot is so stupid, which is a bigger sin than the whole "expect the very worst thing to always happen on this show (except to Dany who will get bailed out by dragons)."
That's basically how book five ends as well, with a tin of cliffhanger. It won't be all that out of character.

From my vague recollections(book five came out a while ago and wasn't that good, so I didn't obsessively 're-read it the way I did the first 3). I think you have to be touched by an infected part. Someone with better knowledge of it is welcome to correct me if I'm off base.
Thank you for making my point far more effectively than I did. Nice summary.
