I have an honest question i'd like to ask everyone since i am not entirely certain on this show's ownership but did Disney buy over this show recently? I'm just curious since this show has been reduced to a practically PG rating so i am just curious to see if Disney bought over the show because it would justify to me why the show has stopped taking any risks, stopped being edgy, stopped actually trying and is playing super family friendly safe.

For the record this is a journal directed only to Game of Thrones fans as it will take way too long to explain Game of Thrones to anyone not familiar with the franchise.


I'll say now Warning of any spoilers for last nights episode

So i am overall actually despising Season 5 because it is taking no risks, not being edgy, it's not even really trying at all.
Just in case some or many do not remember what actually happened in the past of Game of Thrones, let's take a look at it shall we? Let's look at what Game of Thrones does in its golden prime before we look at the current season:

1. Managed to piss off almost every person in the world by killing their innocent fan favorite characters and then taking one of those characters and mounting his wolf's head onto his body

2. butchered a prostitute woman

3. Tortured two prostitute women

4. poisoned a child in the most brutal way possible

5. Posisoned a man in the most brutal agonizing way possible

6. Crushed a man's skull in

7. Incinerated an army with super powered fire

8. Cut people in half as well as other brutal painful ways to kill people that even Walking Dead would be jealous of

9. Numerous occasions of impaling people

10. severely torturing people in every shape and meaning of the world

11. cutting off peoples appendages

and the list goes on and on and on including burning people alive


the most edgy and risky thing season 5 has done has set someone on fire but they never even finished that and that was also only thanks to Stannis who seems to be one of the only characters left with any guts.

You see in the books by season 5 everyone is going against the Lannisters. The only difference is why the Lannisters havent been defeated yet? It's becuase they are also all fighting each other AND because Cersei has a gigantic towering near invincible monster constantly following her around which would probably scare the shit out of anyone other than the most fearless and wisest.
In Season 5 naaah none of that exists, no one does anything because we need to keep the show to a PG level for all the children watching obviously

Some of you may be thinking i am exagerrating well let's compare a scene shall we:


In GOT Season 1 Eddard Stark exited a brothel with his guards while Jaime and his guards ambushed them. Eddard Stark's guards were BUTCHERED. Not slapped around, butchered as in brutally murdered. Eddard himself had his leg stabbed through and then Jaime cut the guard to pieces.

In GOT Season 5:
We have the Sand sisters ambush Jaime and Bronn and it looks like they are going to at least rip apart Bronn and maybe badly wound Jaime because he has plot armor but youd think Bronn would at least die since they are far more skilled than him and hes barely able to hold them off.... But NO... Dorns coward patrol comes in and stops the fighting as if: Nope nope nope sorry this is way too exciting, can't have any of that, we have to keep this PG for the children.

Hell theres a wedding and there are NO DEATHS. I will say that again slowly.
THERE. IS. A. GAME OF THRONES. WEDDING. WITH. NO. DEATHS.

I swear i mean it seems like Baelish and Stannis are the only two people trying anymore in this show and actually giving a crap. Well them and Ramsay whos full on Joker bat shit insane. I have hated Stannis and Baelish for most of this show's time but i have become so desperate that i am actually begging for them to save the show because it seems like they are the only two characters who are going to fight back and bring GOT back to its former glory. I mean i'm sorry but i really hate this season, i have complained to my friend a lot about stupid moments in an Anime yet at least that anime has some redeeming traits to it but this season has none! None at all, i am so desperate that i am actually throwing all my money on Peter Baelish to save the show cause this demon is literally like the show's last chance of someone actually caring and bringing back the chaos and madness

As I've said countless times, I'm not a "gore-fest-tv" kinda guy, I ignore GoT, Walking Dead and such in general. But I have a theory.


I think it's at the point where the characters who have survived this long, people are REALLY attached to now. So they're terrified of axing anyone else in case the resulting "OMG THEY KILLED [X] FUCK THIS SHOW I AM DONE" makes their ratings plummet. It's happened before.

I've used this example before, but it warrants repeating. The Star Trek Enterprise episode "A Night in Sick Bay" LITERALLY killed the show. After that one episode, over HALF the audience stopped watching, and the viewership figures never rose from there. And yet even as the episodes actually got better, nobody was watching anymore, nobody but the die-hard fans or morbidly curious.



So yeah, they've lost their backbone and won't take risks anymore.



While I'm talking about GoT for once:
