The whole thing could have been done through the knowledge that Theon was Ramsay's prisoner, and the same rumours about Ramsay that we got in the books. It ruins the "Oh hey, that Reek dude is Theon!" moment. I guess they think the audience's attention span is too short to handle surprise long-lost characters (see also Arstan Notbeard).

So, yeah, including all the torture is unnecessary and disturbing. They could cut that and twenty brothel scenes and fill the gaps with plot.

Well, Arstan was because there wouldn't have been much of a reveal there. In the books we didn't know from the description that he was a preexisting character, but in the show we would have recognized the actor, so there wasn't much point to hiding his identity. No idea how true that holds for Reek, though.

I think they could have done something with it for an episode or two - the characters wouldn't have known who he was. It's a shame they didn't show his good sense in staying in disguise while he figured out whether or not Daenerys was insane.

I don't really know how well Reek would translate, but I agree they could have very much slimmed down the torture scenes and conveyed an ominous tone and everything we needed to know through implication and rumor.

Maybe I don't know enough about what can be done through visual media and what can't, but I'm pretty sure I've seen shows (and hell, comics) that have had really creepy torture scenes without showing the actual disfigurement.

Piled on top of Ros's fate, it was really way too much and an obvious shock tactic. It was really unpleasant.
