To be fair, the point of Theon failing to decapitate cleanly was less to imply physical weakness, more to imply lack of skill.

I'm not an expert on this by any margin, but intuitively, I'd guess the emotional impact of seeing a character you like die can be a net boost. Sure, you'll lose some, but GoT isn't the kind of show people watch because they dream of marrying Peter Dinklage or Kit Harrington (even though certainly many watchers find either of them very attractive). I think what gets people back to watching GoT is caring for what happens to the characters, and keeping the stakes high will probably help more than it hurts. Unless you only care about the loss in viewers, not the net loss.

Blazing Ownager posted:ED: In retrospect the really long tracking shot of the aftermath was more than a cool shot too. After watching reaction videos I bet they figured (rightly) people would, quite often, turn away and close their eyes during the kill it got so horrible.. they wanted to make sure when you opened them, you still got a good look. I too could have done without that, actually. Oberyn's head looked awfully like rubber, but it still made the point quite well. My girlfriend won't watch the show with me ever since season 1 Mountain (whatever happened to season 2 Mountain by the way?) killed that horse.
