'Game of Thrones' ends season five with death and horror in 'Mothers Mercy'
Houston TV Examiner ^ | June 15, 2015 | Mark R. Whittington

One has to hand it to the now concluded fifth season of “Game of Thrones.” The season has not stinted on the carnage and the horror. From the rape of Sansa to the ritual barbecuing of Stannis’ little girl, life in Westeros and environs has proven to be very grim indeed, for the highest to the lowest. The atrocities in the final episode “Mother’s Mercy,” which aired Sunday, will set a high bar for season six, no question.

This show is just an excuse to show every kind of abomination.

“From the rape of Sansa to the ritual barbecuing of Stannis’ little girl”

Geez, and I thought Sons of Anarchy was bad. Wow. That’s disgusting.

Game of Thrones illustrates what happens when you put females in charge of everything. Chaos and death everywhere.

Tried to get into it, but it had ZERO redeeming characters. Didn’t care about them at all.

Sansa wasn’t raped, she just submitted to her husband. However, I thought the lack of foreplay to be somewhat disturbing. ;-P

Felt the same way reading "The History of Islam". /s

"They require that the author shall make the reader feel a deep interest in the personages of his tale and in their fate; and that he shall make the reader love the good people in the tale and hate the bad ones. But the reader of the 'Deerslayer' tale dislikes the good people in it, is indifferent to the others, and wishes they would all get drowned together."

- Mark Twain on "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses". Some things never change.

"Sansa wasn’t raped, she just submitted to her husband."

That's the way I saw it. I've seen more perverse rape scenes on network programs.

ritual barbecuing of Stannis’ little girl

How long before the news reports of 2 gomers in trailer park coming to blows over whether it was Lexington-style or Eastern-style?

I didn't find out until almost a year into my marriage. It involves the wife going out shopping before sex. Something like that.

It was very horrific...even if it wasn't especially graphic.

My first thought was that this confirmed that Stannis will not sit on the Iron Throne. I believe it will be Daenerys Targaryen in the end. She has air superiority in any battle. I hope she gets those other two dragons out of the 'hangar' and into regular service. She'll need them.

I stuck with SOA for all 7 seasons, but I never let my kids near it. The final season was tough to watch, but I liked the way Kurt Sutter wrapped it up in the finale.

Well there wasn't any BBQ sauce and they didn't eat her... not like Walking Dead... more like Joan of Arc.
