Game of Thrones S03E09

[Rapture]

Can anyone explain to why that particular episode is getting so much attention? (Hype, or is it particular shocking to you guys also?)

I watched a couple of reaction videos and read some descriptions about it and expected a slightly over the top (Would still be more attuned to reality instead of the stupid hollywood 1 stab deaths.) of people being stabbed/slashed to death over 5-6 minutes.

But after finding a 7-8 minute segment on it, it was rather disappointing after getting excited over the reaction videos.

Were the characters that likeable, that killing them was somehow that shocking? (I know woman get more emotional, but even some of the men were squirming or had horrified faces renewed every 15 seconds.)

The only thing that might of tingled me was the neck slashing, but that's only because of my own adam's apple. And I think sometimes getting hit their would be quite painful indeed.

I'm pretty sure most Horror movies show a lot more gruesome deaths than that episode.


Read somewhere that their was a scene afterwards that they threw their bodies over in a ditch or something.

Is there anything else I might of missed?
