I would find that really hard to get past, ita. But I did like Spike again. It took a while.

The very last act of episode two had me saying out loud, "I'm done."
I really want to like the series, but killing off the wolves is just too upsetting. Can someone whitefont me a reassurance that either a) this doesn't happen again or b) something good comes of it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you don't like violence, this is not a series for you. I'm not spoilt, I've just been assured that terrible things keep happening.

Yeah. I hate to be a wimp, but grim just isn't entertaining to me at this point in my time.
I really like the cast, and the concept but...

I think the concept is grim.

It's grim. And it's just getting started.

Terrible things definitely keep happening.
In my attempt to read an episode's worth of the book each week, I have discovered that I pretty much can't, because when I get caught up to what is going on in Westeros all the Daenarys stuff is still pages and pages away. I can't tell yet what that will mean to her arc on TV, but surely some adjustment will have to be made.

Maybe changing their relationship is part of speeding that up? I don't know.

Maybe. I can't see how at this point, but maybe.
That pic is great!

If you suspect you're a GRR Martin character you might as well just kill yourself right away, because it is only going to get worse, and be a lot more unpleasant when you do get agonizingly killed.
At the end of the book series, I fully expect only Tyrion, Arya and Dolorous Edd (not yet met in the TV series) will be standing in an ash-clogged hellscape.
