I read a quote from GRRM praising Outlander and saying how unhappy he was that it didn't get an Emmy. I was confused about what he saw in it, because I tried to watch the first two episodes when they came out, dismissed them as romance novel trash, and then didn't watch any more. After reading GRRMs high praise for the show, I went back and watched season 1, and I guess now I know what he sees in it. That is the loving rapiest show on TV. I swear to God, every episode has at least one attempted rape. And there's some fine, explicit torture scenes too. My mind is boggled that there have been so many complaints about GoT's comparatively few rape scenes, and nobody seems to bat am eye at Outlander.

Maybe he's taking a passive aggressive dig at HBO of Thrones by saying Outlander should get an Emmy cuz Outlander the TV show on a HBO rival network sticks a lot more closely to the Outlander the books source material than his own fantasy book series's TV adaption does.

First season of Outlander wasn't too bad, but holy hell did they double down on the rape quota in season 2.

I watched 3 episodes of Outlander before realizing it was basically an Adam Sandler movie played 100% straight.

Now I wish the series was heavily inspired by JoJo. That would be worth watching. E: JoSno, did you plan even this?!

I'm not about to google "outlander rape scenes," but off the top of my head, I can count at least 7 times where rape is at least attempted in Season one. And that's if I only count the last episode as one, which hardly seems fair because it's almost an entire hour devoted to an extended rape/torture event. I haven't watched Season 2, but if they managed to significantly increase the rapes, I'm surprised there's time for anything else. But don't get me wrong, I'm not making any value judgments about rape scenes on TV, I'm just surprised that I heard such an outcry about every rape scene in GoT and never heard a peep about Outlander.

Oh, that's where our accounts of amounts of rape in season 1 vs season 2 differ. That's actually season 1 you're talking about. They did that thing where season 1 was split into two halves, but still considered to be Season 1.

The outcry over the rapes in GoT is about how terribly they're handled. When you do things like use rape as a tryhard grimdark background setting, film a rape scene without realizing that it's a rape scene, or defy any and all logic to rape a major character, you are loving terrible at depicting rape. When the source material upon which you base your Maybe Outlander depicts rape more sensitively or gives it gravity beyond one scene's worth of shock value or maybe it sticks closer to its source material so people don't go into the show expecting at least a modicum of care put into it. I wouldn't know. I've never seen nor read Outlander. Also, it's possible that Outlander just isn't as bad of a show. GoT's mishandling of its rape scenes is just one part of the extensive criticism of it. The show has steadily devolved since the first season to the dumpster fire it is now. It doesn't hold up to any level of scrutiny whereas the books still have idiots like us posting on the internet about them 20 years after the first one came out.

True enough, but at least the TV show will have an ending. I'll take a couple more seasons of garbage television consisting of tits and dragons vs waiting 20 more years for GRRM to write another 1/3 of a book and still not have any conclusion to main storylines. Any port in a storm and what not.

You're absolutely right, that was poorly worded on my part. There is enough (read: way too loving much) densely packed detail in the books to keep people picking them apart for years. The show has enough erratic characterizations and gaping plot holes to keep people inventing poo poo to try to make it make sense for years.

I'm kinda sad ASoIaF will never be finished, but I'd take that over some half-assed gently caress-finish cobbled together and consumed due to a misplaced feeling of obligation and/or greed. Closure is overrated.
