Who is torturing the game of thrones

An Olympic gold medallist has said she was pepper-sprayed in a racist attack while waiting for an Uber with a group of friends. Sunisa 'Suni' Lee said she experienced the attack recently, as she opened up about the ordeal in an interview with PopSugar. Lee became the first Asian-American woman to win Olympic gold in the women's gymnastics all-around at the Tokyo Games. Mark Meadows faces contempt referral after failure to show for deposition. Former White House chief of staff did not appear for scheduled appearance before select committee investigating Capitol attack.

At least 58 inmates have died following a gun battle between rival gangs inside Ecuador's largest prison. It is the latest violence to hit the Litoral Penitentiary, which only a few weeks ago was the scene of the country's worst prison massacre. Authorities have blamed prison gangs linked to international drug cartels for the violence. The prime minister loves a metaphor, but is anyone looking forward to the outcome of this particular match?

It is "plain wrong" for MPs to be claiming taxpayers' cash for rent while earning money for letting out properties they already own in London, a senior Tory has said. According to a report in The Times, fourteen MPs, nearly all of them Conservatives, claim rent on their parliamentary expenses even though they already own a home in the capital that they are renting out to a tenant.

The arrangement is not against the rules governing MPs expenses, but there has been a call for the "loophole" to be closed. The Scottish Tory leader has referred himself to the Standards Commissioner. CAIRO Reuters -The United States and other Western powers expressed grave concern on Friday over the appointment of a new Sudanese ruling council by the general who led last month's coup, saying it complicated efforts to restore a transition to democracy.

The United States, Britain, Norway, the European Union and Switzerland also urged the security services to respect the right to free speech "without fear of violence or detention" ahead of protests set for Saturday by critics of the army's move. Season 5, Episode 9: "The Dance of Dragons" Some people just don't consider a little girl screaming for her life as she's reduced to ashes appropriate Sunday night entertainment.

However, if you were genuinely shocked by this turn of events -- five seasons in, no less -- you hadn't been paying attention. Melisandre has been burning people alive since her Season 2 introduction, and the fire priestess has had her eyes on Shireen since Season 4, when she insisted that the adorable princess be brought along their military campaign, citing more of her ominous fire visions. Still, Shireen's burning at the stake was yet another instance of fans hoping for the best, especially given the fact that her father, Stannis, temporarily looked like the most worthy contender for the Iron Throne, having just rescued Jon Snow from a wildling assault.

The show provided us with back -to- back moments of tenderness for the princess before subjecting viewers to her agonizing screams of anguish.

Season 5 added the last straws to a lot of backs, and this development acted as a bale of hay -- especially for young parents. It's no wonder events like these cause fans to tune out: all these rape and torture scenes take away from the things Game of Thrones gets right, such as artful landscape shots and strong female characters.

Here's hoping there's a lot more of the latter in Season 6. Ben Philippe is a writer based in New York City. Find him on Twitter: GoHomeBen. Skip to main content Entertainment. Theon's torture. The Red Wedding. After Wun Wun bursts through Winterfell's gates, he is badly injured and on the verge of death. Though Ramsay didn't participate in the fighting, he takes the opportunity to shoot the dying giant in the eye as his final evil act.

Theon was one of the most hated characters on the show in season 2 when he betrayed the Starks. However, his torture at the hands of Ramsay actually made fans feel bad for him. It wasn't enough that Ramsay physically tortured Theon, but he also wanted to tear apart his mind as well.

Ramsay abused Theon to the point that he adopted a new personality of Reek, a broken and terrified shell of his former self. From forcing him to sleep with the hounds to making him Ramsay's personal pet, Theon experienced brutal treatment that changed him forever.

Theon was once an arrogant and obnoxious young man, but Ramsay saw fit to take all of that from him. In the continued mind games he played on Theon, Ramsay had two of his female accomplices seduce him before Ramsay interrupted in the most brutal way.

Ramsay's castration of Theon showed just how twisted he was and what he was capable of. Not only did he proceed to taunt Theon with what was taken from him, he even sent the body part to Theon's family on the Iron Islands as a warning. Myranda was a servant of House Bolton and one of Ramsay's lovers on the show. In a strange way, you could tell that Ramsay partially cared for her, even choosing her as his favorite girl and continued to spend time with her after he married Sansa.

In one instance, Ramsay spoke to Myranda about Sansa and her beauty, making her jealous. When Myranda insinuated that meant she could now leave him, Ramsay became enraged and threatened to kill her if she did. When Theon killed Myranda, Ramsay does seem mildly affected by the news, but he still wound up feeding the remains of her dead body to his hounds.

The Stark family seems to have terrible luck as even their reunions are ruined by people like Ramsay. Jon and his army march to Winterfell to face off with Ramsay in battle. As is Ramsay's tendency, he looks to attack Jon's mind along with the physical pain.

Luckily for Ramsay, he has Rickon Stark as a captive. Ramsay releases Rickon and tells him to run to Jon on the other side of the battlefield while Ramsay shoots arrows at him. However, when Rickon is seconds away from reaching Jon, Ramsay's final shot hits him in his heart, instantly killing him and sending Jon charging recklessly into battle.

After Theon seized Winterfell, Ramsay was sent to reclaim it by his father on behalf of Robb Stark, being given instructions not to harm the Ironborn there.

However, despite them willingly giving up Theon as agreed, Ramsay instead chooses to torture and flay them alive, betraying the deal that was set. The second time Ramsay betrayed them was when he made Theon go to Mount Cailin and promise the Ironborn that Ramsay would grant them safe passage in exchange for their surrender, however, when they do, Ramsay then proceeds to flay them alive.

Though Sansa was not keen to marry Tyrion Lannister when she was a captive in King's Landing, that would turn out to be a blissful marriage compared to her next one. As a way of securing the North, Roose Bolton has his son marry Sansa.
