There are some episodes of this show I must have watched a good dozen of times, but this is the first time I've brought myself to rewatch this one. The first time I was in shock and horror like you ; this time might have been even worse, because I knew what was coming and I felt a sense of growing dread for the whole episode. It really is an ordeal. I don't mind depictions of violence or brutality, and I don't think a show should pull punches to spare the viewers ; but this scene in particular is hard to defend to me. This is purely subjective of course but I think what bothers me is that it's not brutal in a "this is a brutal world" kind of way, but rather in a gross and voyeuristic sort of way. On the bright side, now that we've suffered throught that, we get to enjoy the end of the season, which has two of the best episodes in the entire show.

From your intro: Want more Jamie/Bronn: Check Want more of the Sparrows: Check Maybe Braavos with Arya: Check Boltons and Sansa, not so much : OUCH!

Near the end: Joe "Can we have something nice, for once?" The Forces to be: "Hold my beer..." And then Sansa got married. It's so hard to re-watch this episode... Such beauty in the wedding ceremony, but then Ramsay is Ramsay, and it's awful.

Tommen is a gentle King, but in this instance it's going against him. Joffrey was awful, and Tommen was a welcomed successor, but be careful what to wish for. And Cersei knew that he wouldn't lift a finger if it meant violence.

And the fact that it doesn't even happen in the books (the books that are notoriously horrific and violent) is just another reason to wonder at its presence. I mean, I get the need to go their own way, but - first the sex between Jaime and Cersei is suddenly nonconsensual in season 4, and now this... these writers were just adding unnecessarily horrific things for their own reasons

I remember the fandom being very negative on this choice at the time.

As horrific as the subject matter is, "The dwarf lives until we find a cock merchant" is just a wonderful line.

I'm not much of a fan of Littlefinger - the character (or this actor, specifically in this role, specifically season 3 to date) - he started out with vocal inflections and has now just become a monotonously whispering pirate. THAT SAID, the passive aggressive back-and-forth between him and Cersei in this episode is glorious. Almost as glorious as Lady Olenna (RIP Diana Rigg - international treasure). Littlefinger: One's choice of companion is a curious thing. Cersei: Lysa Arryn - a thoroughly repellent women. Forgive me. I know you're still in mourning. *chef's kiss*

I've just done a rewatch of (the incredible) Andor, ahead of it's Season 2 launch. The leader of the Resistance cell is played by the same actress as The Waif in The House Of Black And White.

Honestly I never even noticed Tommen specifically raising his hand to stop his soldiers from doing anything when Margaery was taken away until this time around. Probably because that scene is too Crucible-y for me to rewatch it very often

When I joined this Patreon, I called for Andor... PLZ PLZ PLZ consider it. It's not the Best Star Wars TV ever made, it's TOP TV EVER MADE!

Although this episode is not highly rated, it was nominated for a few Emmy awards and won for production design. A trip from Winterfell to Kingslanding is 36-48 days by horse or 16 days by ship.

Andor's showrunner is Tony Gilroy, the guy behind the Bourne franchise. A key member of the Andor writing team was the showrunner for House Of Cards (Beau Willimon).

We might have to check out Andor at some point. The cast, the crew behind it all. Star Wars has just been dead to me under the Disney regime. "Somehow Palpatine has returned."

Thankfully the scene was not explicit in showing us the attack but still. Sometimes they go a little far. This episode left a bad taste in my mouth

If it could help, I can only talk about season 1 (season 2 is around the corner, but it looks the same) No Jedi, no lightsaber, just gritty and raw events set in the Star Wars universe. There's nothing like it, Almost as if Disney forgot about putting their paws into it. You'll definitely NOT be disappointed, and actually be happily surprised..

Actually one of the few criticisms leveled at Andor is that it wasn't Star Warsy enough. Obviously that was actually a plus for a lot of people! 🤣

I think the part that got me was the framing of it all. In that horrific moment in which Sansa is in immense distress the director chose to focus on Theon’s pain. Effectively turning it into a twisted way to push his character plot forward. There was just no tact.
