I have no problems w blood, cutting throats, squirting blood, etc [I love Tarantino anyway ;)] but no one ever can convince me it was necessary to kill that poor preggo THIS WAY... I dont fucking care what was in the book, but bringing this to TV was a huge mistake imo... This is way too tough for a ~'mainstream' TV show.. I am 34 and it shocked me.. what if 15-18 aged 'kids' especially girls see this? Crazzzzyyyy.... |
Great scene, actually. Shocking, edgy, vicious and mindblowing. The series has strayed from the book often enough, it's nice to see HBO staying true to it where it counts. The fact is in medieval times there was no editing commitee, but there was a lot of chopping and hacking going on. During wartime things got bloody, and a lot of innocents, even children and expecting mothers, died by the sword along with the men. As much as I found it unsettling I applaud HBO's unwavering efforts to strive for realism.
This is not a 'mainstream' TV show. It isn't Disney. It's HBO.
