The May 17 episode of Game of Thrones was definitely its most shocking yet. Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) saved his own life in this most amazing way, two Houses came together for a wedding, a major player in King’s Landing was arrested and the show got seriously disturbing with the rape of a beloved character.
Loras was interrogated by the High Sparrow. Despite his true feelings for Renly, Loras denied any intimate relations with him. He denied ever having sex with men. Loras was so adamant about his answers, anyone would have believed him. Margaery was called and asked to swear by the gods that Loras was telling the truth. She stood by her brother.
Everything blew up in their faces when Olyvar was brought in. He went on and on about his sexual relations with Loras. Even Margaery knew about it. Cersei even came to the Tyrell’s defense. When Olyvar mentioned Loras’ birthday, Loras lost it. Because she flat-out lied, Margaery was arrested!
Over in Winterfell, Sansa was preparing for her wedding to Ramsay. This random chick Miranda showed up and made it pretty clear she had feelings for Ramsay. Sansa wasn’t going to have any of that. “This is my home and you can’t frighten me,” Sansa said.
Girl, you spoke too soon.
Sansa wed Ramsay in possibly the most gorgeous dress I’ve seen anyone wear in Westeros. It was so Winterfell chic. Theon gave her away. Ramsay and Sansa’s first night wasn’t exactly joyful. He pressed Sansa about whether or not she was a virgin. He told her to take off her clothes and made Theon WATCH.
“You’ve known Sansa since she was a girl,” Ramsay said. “Watch her become a woman.” Ramsay just RAPED Sansa. Thankfully, we didn’t have to watch, but the look on Theon’s face as it happened destroyed me. This is just so, so shocking. I can’t believe this happened to Sansa. This might be the show’s biggest deviation from the books yet. I don’t exactly know where the show is going, and I can’t believe that this was deemed the right direction.
Are you shocked by Sansa’s rape? What do you think will happen next?
