this is why i loved the early seasons of GOT so much. It's relentless brutality and sense of dread and hopelessness for the characters. It was unapologetically merciless.
With all the torture and murder and dismemberment and disembowelment and castration and whatnot going on in this show it is this scene right here that sticks with me.. just a bunch of innocent villagers rounded up and slaughtered by stretching them out, one by one by one.. it's almost holocaust like in how sad it is.. that boy with the beautiful blue eyes getting chosen to have a rat eat into his heart.. just because he looked up.. all the Harrenhal stuff was all very unsettling for me in just how unfair it is
Scenes like this are why I’m glad House Lannister was wiped almost completely out, with the only one left being Tyrion. This House was pure evil. With any luck, Tyrion will rebuild it from the ground up and the cycle of evil and oppression from this House will be completely broken.
Lol it wasn’t just House Lannister, Every house does this, despite they never show the Starks doing this, they did things like these in the passed, House Bolton flayed their prisoners House Arryn would made them “Fly” House Frey well we all know lol 😂 House Baratheon (Stannis) burned their enemy House Baratheon (Robert) hammered them House Targaryen burned with dragon fire So House Lannister is far from being the worst
@@afonsosilvestre7626other houses may have such things in the past, but in present time, they weren't doing such things. The Starks had outlawed flaying in the North, at the time Boltons may have only done so secretly, and only openly began doing it after the took over the North. Even show Stannis was burning enemies he intended to kill, as he had the rightful claim to the throne, not as a means of torture like the Lannisters, who did for the wrong reasons. The Lannisters were just evil, aside from Tyrion.
Well, wouldn't make much sense from an economic perspective. Harrenhal was extremely large and expensive, rebuilding it would have been financially ruinous. The upkeep wouldn't even be affordable to lords besides the top ruling elite of the country or the king himself. And then, what do you do with such a huge castle? Harrenhal was built as the ultimate garrison for ironborn rule in the riverlands, a tool of suppression and military occupation. It was no beautiful castle to live in or economically viable. It had no harbor, no trade routes, no real strategic value and no other advantages like Winterfells hot springs.
It's a perfect example of the show utilizing the fact that not showing something gruesome can be more effective than showing it outright. Our imaginations tend to fill in the gaps with the worst possible scenarios. The fact that we can't even confirm exactly WHAT it is that they're doing to that poor bastard (though it sounds like they're using the rack) to make him scream in agony like that makes it even worse.
Even in House of the dragon it is a ruin. I’d love to see how impressive it is before it’s destruction. Jamie said no other castle in the realm could compare to the size of even the ruins. Here to praying we get an Aegon 1 conquest flashback and see it.
A place like that should have been torn down centuries ago, build something new in its place Maybe then the curse of the Hall would have gone away with it
You underestimate the nonsensical murder of innocents in war. For example, a US Apache pilot and gunner went on a 3 hour killing spree shooting at bystanders, apartment residents and people in cars using their 3cm cannon and Hellfire missiles in Iraq. Another example, recently a Russian mechanized brigade entered the Ukrainian city of Hostomel, set up a position on the bank of a road and started opening fire with machineguns and an APC on random police cars, civillians, and even killed several people with a Russian citizenship and another with a German citizenship. War is hell, and sometimes the soldiers are nothing but a bunch of bloodthirsty killers with no mind at all
@@DrSabot-A that is the point of shitholes - people from more civilized places come there for hunting. wouldn't do such a thing at home, but who cares about savages living in a land reserved for grinding?
My sweet summer child...war is hell and being soldier makes people to do things...especially as they have no punishment if they torture people, read about it...but I am happy that someone finds no point in doing that, more people like you
@@Valerio_the_wandering_sprite thing is I've never heard or read about anyone dying suddenly like that from the rack. It was moreso from internal bleeding and all after theyd have died.

That poor woman had to listen to her whole family die. She was emotionally gone
I was not prepared at all for the darkness of some of Arya's scenes. No wonder she turned into an assassin, all she knows is suffering and death
Really? It's hardly the worst when it comes to game of thrones shit sure

@@drippinwet774 yup, and read the books. There's more gruesome stuff in this show, this season as well

If only Aegon and his sisters had drogon, the stones would have exploded instead of melting.
Are you joking?
@@EK-gt2xf The fool doesn't know Balerion's skull could fit two teenage drogons.
@@aritrachakraborty602 pretty sure he's making fun of dragon fire in the show just being explosions instead of actual fire
What? Aegon had Balerion the black dread.. at least twice the size of Dragon!
@@whitesimurgh6363 he is making fun of the last episode
Harrenhal looks like a dark witch castle from old disney cartoon. It looks scary
RIP Harwin and Lyonel Strong :(
Well
Rip everyone
They should have listened to the tales that it was cursed
Such a lovely place.
Hotel California??
Argon destroyed harenhal 300 years ago but no king or lord decide to repair the castle
It's cursed. Anyone who's ever held the Castle has died an early death.
Thanks man for the info
@@monablues5816 probably be a pain in the but to fix as well haha
@@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119 that’s true, even Littlefinger when he’s granted harrenhal died but WITH BAD WRITINGS

It’s brutal, is it that hard to understand?
Man this part of the show was rough, hearing the woman’s son screaming and it being off camera made this really stick with me.

I just noticed in the intro Harrenhal doesn't have gears or moves because it's now a ruin
Even in House of the dragon it is a ruin. I’d love to see how impressive it is before it’s destruction. Jamie said no other castle in the realm could compare to the size of even the ruins. Here to praying we get an Aegon 1 conquest flashback and see it.
YAY!

That’s like building on an old Native American burial ground. Extra curses
@@TheBboyjackson or tear it down to it's foundation and use the stone from it to build something next to it?
I think they wouldve if it wasnt so damn big
But if he's streched how can he scream like that loud? Just curious
How so?
I really think that they strenched the guy🙂
Mr incredible: laughs menacingly
This was posted 10 years ago? Was Game of Thrones even started 10 years ago?
2011 yeah
Time flies
What's the point of killing and torturing these people? They don't know anything, they didn't do anything.
War crimes !
