[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 6291691, member: 54364"] Now I know this is a pretty rough show. And I can cope with the horrible aspects. It is the gritty and horrible that make the show what it is. What bugs me is that it is that the scene with Jamie and Cersei goes directly against Jaime's character growth and background. It did not ring true to the character in any way. Nor did it add to the story. It was gratuitous and unnecessary. I can just imagine the scene in the production office with the producers and studio execs sitting around saying "We need something to shock the audience. But we can't kill anyone important, we just did that in Ep 2. I know, let's rape a central female character!" I think Scott Meslow has done a fine job of summing up the wider issues here: [URL]http://theweek.com/article/index/260173/the-sexual-politics-of-game-of-thrones-just-got-enormously-worse[/URL] I would like to add that the characters are not acting in a random manner or just to shock the audience or even just to advance the plot. Martin is a better writer than that. His characters grow and act in ways that are in accordance with who they are. This change in the show and in the dynamic between two important characters is the work of hacks, not writers. [/QUOTE]
