MordredDayne Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Now that group therapy is live, here are some things I've said from other threads: It's nice to get it all out, isn't it? Kudos to you for braving some of those other threads. I considered it, but a lot of those comments are just sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Weirdly enough, Dorne might actually be the best part of this episode. At least it was comedic (unintentionally) and lighthearted. I laughed.Braavos was easily the best part. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanF Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 WRT the conflict between Cersei and Magaery, they've got a perfectly good storyline in AFFC, so why not follow it? Why include a plot as far fetched as the King's brother-in-law and heir to Highgarden being put on trial for homosexuality, particularly as there's no evidence from the books that homosexuality is treated as a crime in Westeros (it seems to attract a degree of social disapproval)?My guess is they think a modern audience wouldn't understand how dangerous an allegation of infidelity could be for a Queen in a medieval setting. But, everyone's heard of Islamic State and the Taliban killing homosexuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturber of Peace Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The Tyrell army sails with Lord Cartoon. The reasoning being, they need to show the IB that they are not screwing around with money. JK, plot device for Kings Laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Danford Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I think the interns wrote this one... and choreographed the Dorne fight scene... and wrote the spark notes D&D are "basing" this show off of. But hey, there's little time to read thousands of pages when you're pulling long hours trying to think up new ways to film a rape scene. Cut them some slack.

Le Cygne Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Here's the thing: Ramsay and fArya is just one part of the Winterfell storyline. The heart of what's happening in Winterfell is the conflict between the Northmen and the Bolton-Frey axis of evil. Ramsay's brutalization of fArya serves to escalate the tension. It can be included only in that context. If you eliminate that context, though, as has been done on the show, then the rape should be eliminated, too. Including Ramsay and fArya without any of the context which gives it meaning would be bad enough. Swapping in Sansa for fArya for a rape which no longer serves any purpose, however, is an atrocity. It's really disturbing that out of everything going on in Winterfell, this is what they chose to include - and that they dismantled several storylines to make it happen.This. I'm done, too. I'm just sorry I didn't stop watching a long time ago, they were the smart ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchosaurus Rex Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's nice to get it all out, isn't it? Kudos to you for braving some of those other threads. I considered it, but a lot of those comments are just sickening.When I didn't see group therapy up, I feared it might be banned due to the fate of the last two, and I just had to vent somewhere. Unfortunately, Ding & Dong still have lots of loyalists. It's inexplicable to me how any reader or even an Unsullied could defend the show at this point, but it's a fact.Your words are a soothing oasis in a desert of sarlaccs.I just can't believe we've come to this point. Remember when we were still excited for the show? Now it's full-on hate-watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodsteel bitterraven Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well Dorne is getting even worse next episode. It's the episode with the infamous Tyene audition scene. Those of you who have seen it know how ridiculous it is.But please don't blame the Sand Snake actresses. It's not their fault Ding&Dong think Dorne is all about f***ing and fighting. Ding&Dong probably think the way they did Margaery's imprisonment is oh so clever by the way. TO me the whole thing was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4W13Y Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Arianne, the Griffs and the Greyjoys... They all dodged a bulet. Imagine Arianne being raped, JonCon being a promiscuous whore and Victarion doing nothing but compete with Euron over who can say the most oneliners... This is absolutely how they would treat the characters. I'm so thankful they are not in the show. It's nice to get it all out, isn't it? Kudos to you for braving some of those other threads. I considered it, but a lot of those comments are just sickening. I tried to skip the bad comments (blatant rape/show apology) and get to some actual good discussion but I was skipping more than I was reading :frown5: So incredibly grateful for this thread.

Since then in has been in parts and almost none of this series. It is so sad. It could have been so much better. I also don't understand the support.

Fjordgazer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Someone brought up that 3/4 of the main female characters have been raped now. Will they add a notch and have Marge raped too? I mean, who cares that she's the Queen, we all saw how much that helped her today. Who cares if Faith Talibans are hypocrites too and approve of their members raping prisoners? Stranger solipsisms have occurred on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinjinobrave Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 At Highgarden, wondering why the Greyjoy fleets aren't attacking anyone. They're not making a fuss because they have a smaller army in the show... although D&D have probably already forgotten about that :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larastone Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 the WORST part of the king's landing storyline this episode was that it 100% proved that the entire point of aging tommen up a bit and having tommen/margaery consummate was so those sick fucks could sexualize a child and have natalie dormer naked. D&D are the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
