Game Of Thrones

Wow.... so that scene must have come as a total surprise to EVERYONE.

That is correct sir

Whoah.... for me it definitely is one of the most memorable moments on TV in recent memory that's for sure.

Game of Thrones writer 1: Okay, we've got our 50 minutes of boring filler, with 50 characters' respective story arc's moving slower than a snail. Now we need a scene to keep the viewers talking and interested, and disturbing enough to make them forget the previous 50 minutues of sheer nothingness, and the books have nothing of that sort. We're allowed to deviate. But how?

GoT writer 2: How about we show a beheading?

GoT writer 1: We did that a couple episodes ago.

GoT writer 2: How about a rape?!!?

GoT writer 1: Perfect!

GoT writers together in unison: We're so edgy!



In all seriousness, I thought the uproar the rape scene caused was pretty ridiculous considering the show rose to popularity because of it's graphic nature - and it's already proven nothing is over the line. I did see someone write a facetious facebook rant in which he was 'outraged' about Fat Sam getting raped by the wildling girl in the most recent episode which I got a nice chuckle out of.

If you're bored with the show... watch something else. I was entertained by this last episode, and I'm sad that there'll only be 3 more this year.

Even sadder that there is no book out.

I was surprised and bored all at the same time.

Another way of looking at it... (trying to feel better about the situation)... is that Sansa has had one of the easiest path so far of all the Starks' children.



Compared to what those other kids have had to endure (near death situations), Sansa has had it pretty easy.

IDK, getting raped and locked in a room every night is way worse than nearly dying.

I remembered Daenerys had to endure something similar in Season 1 and she was stronger for it and is now thriving.



Let's see if this will be worth it for Sansa in the end.

You ever thought about getting raped as a tool for self-improvement?

Seriously. To me, the psychological/emotional crap Sansa has tolerated is just as bad as Arya's perilous journey... maybe worse. None of the other Stark kids were forced to look at their father's head on a spike, or raped by a psychopath after being abandoned by what she considered to be a trusted mentor/advisor. Sansa is going to be every bit the badass Arya and Jon Snow have turned out to be. I predict a massive Stark revenge story arc against the Lannisters and everyone else when everything finally comes full circle.

...and speaking of Jon Snow...

Does anybody else get the sense that the identity of his mother is going to be a pretty significant piece of information in the grand scheme of things? I haven't read a lot of speculation on this-- I don't really visit the GoT fansites anyway-- but I wonder if she'll turn out to have been a Targaryen.

Yeah, I seriously wanted to reach through the computer and smack the **** out of OL for that comment, but just ended up making a lame joke instead.

Not to mention being forced to marry Tyrion and being physically and emotionally abused by Joffrey and then accused of aiding Tyrion in Joffrey's murder. Yeah, Sansa has lived a life of ease.

I want to see Tyrion and the Starks join Deanerys and burn it all to the ground. Deanerys takes the crown and she gives Snow The Wall, the Starks the north and Tyrion Lanister Rock as he supporters.
