35 minutes of talking about Game of Thrones shockingly violent episode 9

I just spent 35 minutes talking to my good buddy Edward de Gale about the season 3, episode 9 of "Game of Thrones".

SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EPISODE 9 YET!!!

The poor guy hadn't read the books and so was utterly shocked by the violent deaths of various characters.

Since then I have noticed a lot of fuss in the media (and on Facebook) of people upset, stunned, shocked by how utterly brutal the 9th episode was.

And some of the media sources have even turned to turning it into comedic humour by contrasting it with other shows like Mad Men... like this clip here.
