Other commonly used terms for that incident include Death Queef and Vagina Ants.

Does Ann Coulter make a cameo?

Mystical Vagina Ninjas? This series sounds awesome.

The only thing that could make the series more awesome is if Brian Blessed himself narrated the audio book.

LotR had Gandalf get jiggy with a claim of prima nocta? I missed that scene.

Thank you for making my lack of an edit worthwhile

Sure, some are reasonable, it's a fantasy series. And the opening chapter of GoT had white walkers FFS, I'm not commenting on the literary value of it. But with regards to emotional investment, LotR just has a ton of cop outs.

Gandalf dies? All I saw was he fell off a bride and miraculously survived. It really proves my point more than anything.

Let's not get too proud of the lack of deus ex machina in the series that wiped out a key player via mystical vagina ninja.

[Krill]

That's the ****ing point. LotR = crap writing with little emotional investment and tons of dei ex machinae, ASOIAF = huge piles of dead bodies (and that isn't a spoiler) and real shock at the events.

He dies and gets sent back in his new incarnation.

Just wondering, but are there any real love scenes in ASOIAF? Which is funny, when you think about all the nude scenes in the TV series.

Spoiler:

Apart from Dany's various emotional spasms, I think the nearest is the odd moment between Jaime and Brienne - emotionally rather than physically

There's the horrible one with

Sam and Gilly

and the somewhat less horrible

Jon and Ygritte

ones.

*cough* Gandalf

[Krill]

To be fair, there is a fair bit of "so-and-so is dead! ... NO THEY AREN'T!" in ASOIAF, too.

It was more that so few important characters actually die in LotR, that I can't get any real sense of loss form the writing, and that just doesn't happen in ASOIAF.

I was exaggerating for rhetorical effect. It is a love scene after all, to be fair.
