I will admit that watching someone rape your girlfriend would invoke more emotion that watching him just slit her throat. However, I don't think the extra emotion is worth raising the rating so much that only adults that aren't easily grossed out can read/watch it. But that's just me.

I personally hate it when series stop short of a season's end. No sense of closure. Even if the creator has tired of the series, he/she could at least finish up the season for the dedicated fans.
