Buckeye
Legend
I guess im coming at it from a different spectrum. Because the world is shitty and nothing is fair and the good guys never win, i guess i would rather watch something less depressing. Now that i realize that his writing style is one that breaks your traditional story telling staples, or rather, just does the opposite i think ill pass on the series. 4 seasons of the same shit, so im guessing it'll be 4 more seasons of the same shit (life sucks/people die/you die/nothings fair) Which is fine i guess if you're into that. Im not, i could just glance at the news if thats what i wanted out of my entertainment.
look at the guy's name: George RR Martin. it's like a cheap, smutted-up ripoff of JRR Tolkein.
doesn't it stand to reason that Game of Thrones would be a cheap, smutted-up ripoff of Lord of the Rings?
Tolkein was a Christian, and LOTR is a Christian mythology. the whole thing is an analogy of one's spiritual journey.
Martin clearly is not a Christian. his books ain't either.
who are you upset about dying? the king of the north? Rob Stark was an oath breaker. hard to call him a hero, isn't it?
Cat Stark? disobedient and willful. sabotaged and undermined her own son's authority. not heroine material in my book.
Ned Stark. yeah, he was a good one. all i can say is to make an omelet, you gotta break a few eggs...
now, Tyrion has a problem keeping it in his pants, but at least the guy has honor, and he sure ain't dead.
he's the best character in the whole thing.
Arya is alive and well, and so is Sansa.
and Martin forgot about Bran for a couple books, but that kid has big things coming his way.
oh yeah, and Jon Snow. whoo boy. Jon Snow sure isn't dead.
i'm guessing you are wanting the Lannisters to get theirs?
a couple other unsavory characters you want dead?
be patient. it's a 10,000 page book. LOTS of time left for justice to be served.
