Spoilers!!
In the halfway of season 4 of Games of Thrones which would be published in 2015..
The Good
Joffrey’s Death
It’s odd. After episode after episode of hating Joffrey’s stupid face, watching his death wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as I’d expected. Despite his evilness, seeing him lying on the floor, looking desperately for his mother to make it all better was rather sad. The show nailed it though – Jack Gleeson’s performance, Jaimie’s panicked dash, the strange colouring of Joffrey’s face. It all worked perfectly, and it’s most definitely one of the best TV deaths in history.
The Bad
Jaimie becoming a rapist
The worst part of this season has to be the moment when Jaimie raped Cersei in front of Joffrey’s corpse. What’s maddening is that it wasn’t actually meant to happen. In the book Cersei consents, and the director claims that the same thing happened in the show. He mucked it terribly though, very few people took it the way he intended, and Jaimie’s character now has the added sin of incestuous rape to bear. A low point.
