That’s not entirely true. There were plenty of instances of chill in Episode Six: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. From Arya lying through her teeth to kill a kid to Littlefinger crushing it over in Quip City, chill abounded. Hell, even those slavers — as abhorrent as their practice is — were pretty chill. Those were some chill ass punches to the face Ser Jorah took.
But, like this boss teacher who decided to fail his whole class because a couple of students were screwing around, I can’t award any chill points this morning. Because that last scene last night was so fucking abhorrent. I know smarter people will say better things about it today than me, but god damn did that seem so unnecessary. We already knew Ramsay Bolton was a psychopathic sleaze (he was last in the Chill Bro Rankings before yesterday), so what was the point of hammering that home?
And after Sansa had just asserted herself? That was a cruel twist for a television show. Remember, it’s just a dang TV show. This isn’t Piss Christ. Its job isn’t to offend our sensibilities. It’s to entertain. And all I’ll say is that was not entertaining. I had to go to a bar after I watched and down a couple drinks by myself just to cope.
I’m not even kidding. I’ve got pretty thick skin, too. I don’t even wanna think about how that might have been for someone else.
Soooo… Fuck that.
With that said, on to the unchill Bros of the evening.

Fucking teens, man. Fucking teens are all about love. Who cares if you love this Dornish dude? When your uncle who is also your father comes halfway across the world to whisk you away, you go. Or you get him fucked by the Sand Snakes. Stupid fucking teens.
