hah. i probably think so. but some "heights" have been reached, with having a father burn his daughter to death; and having another child torture someone (albeit a terrible person) to death. i mean, at this point, i think i agree they want to keep pushing the envelope with the violence on purpose... because i don't know what else to think. but maybe, they'll surprise us all, and tone it down...
i don't know if it bothers me or not. there were a couple episodes with ramsey bolton that i just couldn't get out of my head for like a month, they were so awful. and there was the red wedding... and i know most of the characters are killers on the show...
but the plots... i find the plots really interesting...
