Jorah the Explorer

is this a real character name

LV, I'm sick of this thread seeing the only action in this forum, and I watch the show. Let's talk about something else in another thread.

Oh, come on--you should have tried to convince him it was, and that since the books started in the '90s, it would've been tough to change the name. Get on your game!

Same with last seasons perceived rape scene.

That one I understood the outrage. That was a character we are kinda supposed to have some affection for, despite prior bad acts. But beyond throwing Bran out a window he had mostly been portrayed as a good guy on the wrong side. Ramsey is and always had been a sadistic fuck. I don't think illustrating his brutality is particularly shocking.

You're making their point for them, then. That rape should only be shock value, which I disagree with.

I'm still not comfortable calling last season's scene a rape scene and neither are the show runners nor the actors involved. But that aside, who cares whether or not the character is supposed to be likable or not. That shouldn't change or alter the atrocity of the act.

Rape is okay when I guy I'm supposed to hate does it. But when it's a guy I kinda like, hey now! That's over the line! I can't get on board with that.

I'm not talking about the "show" and the shock factor, I'm talking about the audiences reaction to it. The shock about Jamie in a rapey situation I got. Ramsey doing it should not have surprised anyone. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can be shocked by anything on this show at this point.

This is a show known for its brutality, and often times beloved for it. Depicting the atrocious acts are part of illustrating the world they've created. To ignore something that likely would have occurred in this universe seems ridiculous.

I see. Sorry, I misunderstood what you were getting at.

I do completely agree with your post, by the way. I'm sorry I didn't say that directly. Good chat, friend.

The Ramsey alone element isn't shocking for his part, but based on the final shot, the rape of Sansa Stark is about whether or not Theon Greyjoy is able to be redeemed. Will something so horrific be enough to overcome his fears? It had to be horrific, to illustrate that if he does not react, he is gone forever.

So Jon Snow's steward, Ollie I think, is making me fucking nervous. They just keep showing him giving stink eye. That little fucker is going to do something bad.
