      I'm sure no-one is disputing that, but for those people whose plans do not include reading the books now, the spoiler tags are what we need.

      It could be said that seeing films of books that one has read are usually disappointing, whereas the other way round - reading books after seeing the film / series gives you that bit extra. Therefore, seeing the visual production before reading the books could give the best overall enjoyment.

          I had the exact same reaction to the Red Wedding. I think I actually put the book down for a bit to consider whether I wanted to continue. My reaction mirrors yours re: "rootable factions." I'm down to rootable characters. I've given up on factions.

            Well, I just got to the part where the most fun character, arguably the most rootable, just apparently got his ass tossed into a dungeon cell after the Mountain crushed the Viper's head whilst staked to the mother****ing ground. If Tyrion's situation doesn't improve markedly, the fourth book is gonna be tough.

                      • Are you responding to me? I'm not opening the spoiler tag! I wonder if I got something right... hmm. No idea. I suppose I'll find out soon.

                            Don't worry, TV-only folks; what I am cheering is almost 100% certainly not what you are thinking.

                              I think that's Martin's point. None of the factions are as good or as bad as the various point-of-view make them out to be. It's actually really been down to good and bad (and somewhere in between) characters from the start. The red wedding is just the biggest kick in the ass (of many) to make us see that.
