[@reiko] Well keep in mind George R.R. Martin's world is medievalesque where ppl die everyday. There's always tension because anyone can die. Plus. GOT in general is a war zone. Going into it from the get go, one should expect dark topics to insue.

But that's not why I watch the show. It's incredibly well done. 

I agree with all of you that death needs intention, and I do believe that in Game of Thrones, death does have it's reasons because it's for characters' advantage or disadvantage. Any move someone can make can lead to their demise. 

I don't think the critique should be directed to the story. The critique should be directed to the world of GOT. It's dark fantasy meets medieval. 

Death can be done right. Of course, GOT risks using death too much which desensitizes their audience but that doesn't make it a bad show.
