I've just been saying to some of my buddies, I wasn't a fan of this episode.
It all felt so forced and over the top. Like a blatantly obvious ploy to incite more hate towards the EVIL LANNISTERS. I spoke of this when poor old Ned lost his head, but the show can be so black/white sometimes. I know certain characters aren't so clear-cut, but the main structure of the show has always been based round the EVIL LANNISTERS and the EVIL THINGS THEY DO. Then on the other hand, you've got Denny, who's hellbent on freeing all slaves en route to conquering the world.
I couldn't use this comparison with my (non-wrestling fan) friends, but it's like watching wrestling. The Lannisters are the heel Jericho smashing a bottle of Jack Daniels over babyface CM Punk's head and making him drink it.
I think something more subtle would have sufficed, but nope, they had to go with the most brutal scene possible, with regards from the Lannisters.
It's like it's written with the idea of pissing people off so much, that they just keep reading in hope of some payoff. Something tells me there will be very little till the last series.
