A continuation would negate what they've done. That's all I'm saying. I think the show ended on a great and original note that even those familiar with the books and films couldn't anticipate. And despite the prevalence of dream logic in this show, I'm not sure I could buy Will and Hannibal's return if it were…

You don't say he's dead. Or alive. That's the point. Schrodinger's Hannibal :)

I think, after the leads were stabbed in the face and body, shot in the guts and then thrown from a bluff into a rocky seabottom… they should leave it where it is. But I'm one of those weirdos who thinks Halloween II should have never been made, and we'd have that last shot of Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis gaping at…

To be honest, while I loved the showdown at the end, it felt rushed because Fuller needed those characters in isolation together. So all logic -not for the first time, of course- went out the window to allow it, Same with Will and Hannibal being able to overpower Dolarhyde. I thought they were going to be outright…

I did the same and rewatched Silence of the Lambs not too long ago; my memories of Hopkins' portrayal was blunted by having more recently seen Red Dragon, where he is fine, just fine — but in Silence he is the embodiment of restrained malice, he is violence that is not so much cowed as it is prowling, waiting… Hopkins…

Despite my fondness for Dream Warriors, this is a series that I wish never had a sequel. It would've been great to leave the whole thing hanging for decades at that first shock ending. But then again, I think the same thing about the original Halloween, and I imagine a lot of people would be pissed if Myers was on the…

He never admits his participation in the rape as he does in the books. In the show he mentions that she is raped by Lannister men-at-arms, but not himself. In the books he adds that Tywin made him rape her last.

"The cultural conversation around that issue peaked in season five following the horrific events of “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken,” the second time Weiss and Benioff elected to shoehorn in a rape scene that is absent from Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire novels."

I just Googled "Gawker" and "Nic Pizzolatto" and wow, they really, really do not like him. Some of the articles slating him are outright juvenile.

The male characters constantly refer to their junk as "cocks", which is absolutely an anachronism for the "period" (being a fantasy mish-mash of several centuries, as GoT is.) So the pussy line didn't faze me at all considering it was used as a term of endearment (yep…) for women going back to 1580, with the vaginal…

I've been watching the show all my life (well, since it started airing in the UK sometime in the early nineties, anyway) and this article is the first time I've ever been aware of this episode's apparent infamy. It throws up a massive revelation and then hits the reset button at the end in a way that felt true to The…

Did you guys miss Carice Van Houten's recent interview on the matter?

Yes, I forgot to mention that. She is gangraped by a crowd and every time she's mentioned again it's part of a snide diatribe ("Her bastard has a hundred fathers, ho!"). Cersei spends most of AFFC wishing that Margaery's 'hens' will be viciously raped also. In the books Martin also has Tyrion rape his first wife Tysha…

I posted this elsewhere, but since there's another article about this… According to the latest Inside the Episode, GRRM told the show runners that Stannis would do this at some point. I ain't mad. The show has butchered children (Lommy, Baratheon bastards, Mycah… stable boy), it has ripped infants from their mothers'…

According to the latest Inside the Episode, GRRM told the show runners that Stannis would do this at some point.

I think the idea of it sabotaging Sansa's growth is really part of Ramsay's in-universe intent (disclaimer: I would never argue that someone being raped devalues them, but Ramsay certainly thinks so). Sansa agrees to the marriage and bedding to claim her birth right. Ramsay brutalises her because he does not consider…

Robb and Catelyn didn't know either back in season 2 when Roose offers up his bastard to siege Winterfell. Ramsay has had a quiet career in the show compared to the books, where he's already been married and outraged the North before with his atrocities.

No doubt the show would’ve been eviscerated if it had followed the books and had Jeyne Poole parachuted in from nowhere to be raped and molested and forced into copulation with dogs all for the sake of Theon’s arc alone.

I recall some saying that Dany wasn't taken advantage of in the books. I had a look myself and:

I hadn’t read the books in a couple of years so I picked up AFFC and ADWD last night. There are descriptions of very violent rapes being wrought on little girls, followed by various mutilations inflicted on them afterwards (cutting off noses, breasts, etc. some are also described as having been set on fire…
