Hee hee. I love it. The next two episodes are going to be like the last two episodes of last season. Epic sauce! I can't wait!

The series is departing from the books in a lot of ways, particularly bran's story line. But on the Lannister side, they are staying pretty true. I am (neutral non-spoiler emotion) about it.

Spoiler talk/rant:



Its not that Martin kills off the good guys - he blows away baddies too. His MO is to create a complex character with a convoluted back-story and then, just as you are warming to them, just as you are starting to think about all the things that character can and will do - then he bumps them off.

Invariably, additionally, he makes those deaths stupid, wasteful and unjust - surely you picked that up from the Red Wedding.

More ignominious ends await I assure you, one in particular.

Perhaps it's just the way the show has diverged from the books but I don't find Jon Snow to be that compelling of a character anymore. Whenever we go up to the wall I always want to see Sam and Gilly, both of whom I see as more complex and who currently have more compelling stories.

I'm also kind of starting to get that feeling with Dany, which sucks because I loved her character in seasons 1 and 2. The parts of the show with her have gotten boring to me.

In someways I like that some of the deaths in GOT have been stupid, wasteful and unjust - if every death had a sense of poetic justice or every character got what was coming to them things would get boring and predictable very fast. Keeping thing "realistic" keeps people guessing and in the real world people die for stupid, wasteful and unjust reasons.

I'm concerned the writers of this show might just piss me off one too many times for me to get invested in it. Knowing that, would you recommend the show still?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

You know, I used to find Jon Snow to be an interesting character.

Now I *want* him dead.

I had a serious man crush on that dude.

But after he ditched ygritte, he can get stuffed.

I'm just going going to sit here with a smug smirk because I know what happens to tyrion.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
