Yeah. That scene was HORRIBLE. One of the worst things I've ever seen portrayed in a TV show.

Season 5 of Game of Thrones was pretty tough to get through. Rape, murder, more rape, war, couple of dudes getting eaten by a dragon, rape, a little girl gets burned at the stake , undead frozen armies ... I sorta feel like I did going into the final season of Breaking Bad, when I was just worn out by the never-ending despair and darkness. Everything is bleak and horrible and pointless. All the remaining characters are flawed, terrible people. Ugh. I'm just exhausted by it all. At some point, this shit stops being "entertaining."

I recently started rewatching The Wire, and that show is pretty bleak too. But it's also goddamned hilarious at times (something GoT could use more of), and very, very human. And the characters are allowed to win once in a while! Sometimes it's a small victory, but it's not all horribleness! Game of Thrones needs to lighten the fuck up a bit.


Tyrion was the "jester" of the show, and once he committed patricide, things got even bleaker than usual. The Tyrion Daenarys scenes were a little bit of a payoff. But yeah, the show is taking a really dark path, and will only get darker.
