| I'm trying to get into it via in demand, but it seems excessively gruesome. Does it get better as the plot evolves or is it always cringe-worthy? I'm not even that sensitive and I had trouble with it! But, I know people love it! |
| What season/episode are you on? |
| Just started. Pilot. Then dd got up from nap! |
| I love the show. But it doesn't get better. It gets worse. |
| This last episode featured incest-necrophilia rape. |
| I fast forward through the scenes (or mute and close my eyes if watching live). Still worth the viewing. Great show that only gets better!!! |
x 20000000 still can't stay away.... they push the envelope. with EVERYTHING |
|
I thought the twincest rape was positively relaxing compared to the Ramsay Bolton torture scenes and sausage metaphors.
Actually, I think the grossest things have already happened IIRC the books. |
| The violence/sex doesn't tone down at all but the story line us so good I deal with it. By far, my favorite show on TV. I wish the season lasted longer. |
What? I know about the incest rape, but did any of the parents violated their kid's dead body (sexually I mean)? |
I wondered the same thing! No ... |
well, i'm counting the proximity as necrophilia. call it a fictional license in keeping with the source material. |
|
Agreed. I cannot watch any of the scenes with Theon.
Keep watching!!! You won't be disapointed. |

Thanks for posting this, I had read the below article earlier in the week and still couldn't figure out why they changed this scene for television in this way. Even though I have read the books it is tough to remember all the timelines!! http://www.avclub.com/article/rape-thrones-203499?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=LinkPreview:1 efault
