But as the showrunners push their agenda over the storyline from the book, that element of danger is a crutch that they rely on far too frequently, and in a way that is gratuitous and often feels unearned. ![]() Obviously, the world of Westeros is not a safe place for little girls (or anyone, but especially girls). But are those triumphant moments truly worth the horrors that we have to slog through to get there? This has been called into question way too often this season, and episode nine, “ The Dance With Dragons,” just might be the tipping point for some. Weiss subject us to horrible, soul-crushing events time and time again, but then by the end of the episode, someone’s riding a dragon and we’re sucked back into the magic once again. Goddamn “ Game of Thrones.” Watching this show is sometimes like being in an abusive relationship.
