HBO - Game of Thrones SPOILERS INSIDE. you have been warned

[Skelas]

For me the issue is there needs to eventually be a payoff. The good guys need to win sometime. Now, you could make the case that there is no true 'good guy' in GoT, that it's a true story of shades of grey, but when was the last time there was a truly satisfying "our team won!' moment in this series? Joffrey dying at his wedding was the last moment that even approaches the 'good guys' winning. If Stannis ends up sacking Winterfell (the foreshadowing from the books suggests he doesn't, although Ramsay could have just been messing with John Snow's head) are you even truly for Stannis after he burns his daughter alive?

I like the grittiness, I like that anyone could die in this world at any time, but I think it's getting taken too far. I need a payoff every now and then, not just more savagery over and over again.

Throw me a bone dammit!
