Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

I wouldn't say he got away with it, there were many complaints in this thread and there are likely still members who hold it against him xD

Yes, Jaime raping Cersei is still something that greatly upsets me.

I'm not sure if I'll watch next season, to be quite honest. The show's just not holding much interest for me these days. It's not even outright contempt as mostly it's just apathy.

But my boyfriend likes it and many of my friends like it, so I may still.

Oberyn's scene was imo the most brutal scene so far, and that's saying something considering the nature of this show.

EDIT: I'd be really happy if Sansa and Littlefinger could get a spin-off and it was just about them smurfing trout up. That'd be a great show.

[LocoColt04]

I dunno about that Jinx, little Joffrey with his whores... that was an entirely different kind of brutal, and honestly more painful to watch.

[Jinx]

Ah, I forgot about poor Roz. Okay, it's been one of the top...3? most brutal deaths so far! The other honor maybe going to Talisa being stabbed in her pregnant womb.

[Ayen]

Strangely enough I find all the stabbing in The Following harder to watch than any of the violence in this show.

I'm weird.

Man, I cant believe people are really considering dropping the show, as someone who has read the books let me reassure you that if you quit at the end of this season, you will regret it, it gets so much better soon... and there is still 2 episodes to go and I am convinced people who are having doubts now will change their mind soon enough.

Quitting the show now would be akin to eating all your veg (including a hearty portion of disgusting sprouts) and then leaving your prime rib of beef on the plate. Its lunacy.

[Freya]

She's read them too though!

Watching Oberyn die, wasn't a big deal to me. My problem wasn't with his death or its gruesomeness. My issue was in regards to my investment with Tyrion. Oberyn was just by extension. Whether or not Tyrion dies (I haven't spoiled it like BoB [my girlfriend actually made a similar choice, fortunately she won't spoil anything for me]) I have been, and still am invested in him. I've been invested in a lot of other characters who were killed. And you start to regret liking anyone. And then why watch a show if you don't like anyone? Or why bother liking anyone if they're just going to die

But then again, it's still fresh. So its likely not a rational or objective opinion yet. My brain hasn't fully digested everything. Only my heart has. I haven't sworn off the show. And even if I become un-invested by the end of the season, I'll probably still watch it. I've watched it this far. And it's one of those milestone shows in the world of entertainment. It would be a disservice to deny myself if it somehow manages to continue being great. But like others have said. At that point it becomes less of an experience, and more of just a "show". Which would be sad. But I suppose if anyone can pull a rabbit out of a hat, these creators can. I'll wait and see

She's read them too though!

I was just quoting her as an example.

[Jinx]

Fair enough.

I'll go on record saying that the season finale is going to be just mind-blowing and will have my favorite GoT thing, period.

But after that? The books (in my personal opinion) go way downhill, and I really can't summon the interest to watch 2-3 seasons of two books that were very very dull for a show I'm already struggling to watch. Again, I probably will watch it, but it's more just to stay in the loop and have something to do with my boyfriend than for my own personal enjoyment.

I know I've said it before, but I'm only really invested in Sansa's story at this point. I like how they've deviated from the books and she's developing more of a personality and strength of her own; she was probably already my favorite character in the books, but I just worship her now.

All of the other characters (at this moment) can smurf off. Especially Cersei. I'm so tired of her trout. To me, I can't even claim 'the character you love to hate' anymore. She's just unbearable. At least Joffrey was so over-the-top you had to love him.

EDIT: Again, I just want to say all of this is my personal opinion and I'm not really trying to get in a debate. I'm happy people still love the show.

[Del Murder]

I like who in this episode Dany kept calling him Drago. I guess Daario's making her forget her husband's name, eh.

Actually, Del, it wasn't that he was too lazy to get it properly treated. He did get it 'properly' treated. Had it been left alone, he probably would've been fine. That's the thing that slays me about Drogo's death: he's a war-hardened pillager. He's probably suffered much worse than that and walked away from it without a thought. He only let Mira Mimimi Mazhauaha let her 'heal' him at Dany's insistence.

Oh was that it? I couldn't remember. So what's the deadly sin for trusting bitches?

[Jinx]

Bloodriders before Khaleesis.

[Ayen]

I imagine they'd have to get the Feast for Crows/Dancing with Dragons stuff over with quick if they really plan to end it by Season 6.

[Jinx]

Wait, is that what they've said? Huh, I haven't seen that!
