ServantOnIce Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 This was a sweet reminder to viewers that no one is safe in Westeros... They needed the death quota up more than they needed the 'nudity quota'Dexter Season 7, which I finally got around to seeing had a high nudity quota with all those Russian strip club scenes, it is obvious the pay networks show nudity to draw in those with simple minds.

Lord Elrosir Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Or unless you realize that lots of character was pulled from different Mafia figures in the TriState area. Vinny Ocean was the Boss of the DeCalvacante family that the Soprano family is based off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayard Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 This was a bad decision. This season Ros really started to look like she could be useful to the show.... her replacing Dontos was perfect!! I actually think that D&D never thought about it, and that's why they didn't use it. What was the point of this death?? to show us that Joff is a sadist?? who didn't know that already??? Does LF look smart by sacrificing her?? No he doesn't .... the LF in the book most likely would have fed her false info if he knew it was going to Varys. She was useful to him. They could have killed her in season 4, without letting us know until then that LF knew about her. That would have helped LF's character... in the show he is punked by everyone: Tyrion, Varys, Cersei..... I am disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are meeting a nudity quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAwesomeVargoHoat Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The only problem with her dying is that they didn't show it happening. This was probably my biggest mark out moment this season. Even more than Dracarys, and that was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhawk137 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I have to scratch my head at all the people who are outraged that they didn't get to see an extended scene of Joffrey torturing and murdering Ros, just because they hate her so much they would have enjoyed watching her tortured and murdered.You could say they might even get some kind of perverse pleasure out of that. Like, I don't know, freakin' Joffrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic 8 Ball Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 lulz, I used to work for said low-volume burger joint, and the owner actually got mad when me and my buddy started making bomb-ass food and attracting more business. We suggested repairing the broken big screen TV, and they were like "hellnah" and without explicitly saying it that was when we realized they didn't want any more business.You don't use a business with "heat" as a front, and pay TV networks very much have a nudity quota.All misogynism aside, I hope the death of Ros represents that the series is now "above the nudity quota".

Winter's Prince Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 All I know is Ros was bad, sexy, and a fucking turn on, and now she's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go joff go Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I know its been mentioned but its too funny that purists are mad about her dying in a way that they themselves wished on her and are now mad at D&D for doing it as a way to get back at purists.

Prince of Dragonstone Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Remember that in the show everyone thought that Ros was Tyrion's lover, not Shae. So there is now the motivation and implication that Joffrey killed Tyrion's lover. I wonder if this will be mentioned in the next episode. This death will surely bring about the scene where Tywin lays the smackdown on Joffrey. I've been waiting patiently for this scene for YEARS. It's one of my favorites in the books and will surely be one of my favorites on the show. Tywin vs. Joffrey...yessss!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic 8 Ball Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Tony Soprano operating out of "Bada Bing" was based on the real life Mafioso Vincent "Vinny Ocean" Palermo, who owned "Wiggles" in Queens.Owned, but didn't actually operate out of, I'd surmise. Unless that's why you know his name.Nudity quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is Ros was bad, sexy, and a fucking turn on, and now she's dead.To some people, that makes her even hotter. :drunk: Too bad they omitted Reek from the show.

Golden Lion Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I didn't mind Ros, most of her scenes were rather important character moments for other people. Rather sad she died in that way, though I do wonder what's happening now. I assumed she would lead Sansa from the PW and go overboard like Dontos or go to the Eyrie with Sansa.

Prince of Dragonstone Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Also, has Joffrey ever out and out murdered someone himself yet? This was an important "Crossing of the Rubicon" moment for this character. He has turned from a sadist to a murderer. His level of villainy just upped three fold.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well, some are already calling her death "misogynistic"...Her death was basically used as a device to further Littlefingers plot, and the manner in which she was killed was disgustingly misogynistic “goodbye Ros, you didn’t deserve that horribly misogynistic death, THANKS A LOT D&D” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
