Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

I like the tittays in the one torture scene though. If all scenes had tittays we'd be having a different discussion.

Did I miss them or were they not in the books at all? I don't remember reading about them.

If you mean the Theon torture scenes, if I remember right, it's only offscreen until you get details in Dance With Dragons. Been a while since my last read-through though.

The Theon torture scenes were tough. I didn't like them (other than naked girls), but the show has the problem of trying to make the audience understand and believe how Theon becomes so completely broken and under Ramsey's thumb. One thing to explain it in print, another to show it and make it believable. So you needed some gruesome scenes or the next part of Theon's story won't make sense.

It was there just not so obvious or stretched out.

I think the real picture of the extent to which the torture went was shown in the description of how Theon changed physically. I don't think they're going to make him look anything like that on the show so, instead, they just had to show the brutality on screen.

Okay guys I've read all the books. Is everything fair game to talk about in here?

I was pissed. He definitely deserved the Theon treatment. I was okay with Dad taking a crossbow to the groin. Seemed fitting.
