    • GRRM, I needed your face in all the crevices.  I've never felt so many feels all at once. You've ripped my heart out with the Red Wedding, Oberyn Martell, and Ned Stark etc.  I will never be quite right again... and abusive as it is, I continue to watch, fantasizing about how the Starks will get their revenge and about

            • I'm sure I should have been medicated for most of my life, calming agents like ritalin, but so far I have avoided being zonked.

              My oldest son exhibits the same mania and is in therapy when blue. He is manfully refusing meds.

                      • Okay, partway through third book. Am gratified by decency of Brienne and Davos, as promised, but note that the general rule of good-guys-suffer continues to apply (doubly so to Tyrion). Suspect they have only been introduced to give GRRM more whipping boys after he kills off most of the Stark family at the end of this book. On a related note, lately most of the plot turns have centered around characters making bafflingly irrational and stupid decisions. The first book, we just had Ned trusting Littlefinger for no particularly good reason. Today I read about Dany's encounter with possibly the dumbest slavers who ever lived. WHY DID YOU IDIOTS DO THAT?

                        Having a sordid good time in spite of it all. It's like a medieval soap opera.

                        • Ned trusting Littlefinger was stupid, but it wasn't for no reason. In fact, one could make the argument that Ned was trying ever so slightly to be manipulative by thinking that Littlefinger's "affection" for his wife was leverage.

                          • Spoiler:
                            Ned trusts Littlefinger because he is a really honorable guy and has a hard time believing other people aren't especially when his wife tells him the guy is like her little brother.

                            GRRM has said he kept punishing the good guys because the fantasy cliche is the good guys always win so he wanted to break the cliche. If the good guy dies then the next obvious cliche is his son will avenge him so the son also had to die.

                            Yes, characters aren't perfect and as such they sometimes make dumb mistakes. Like how Rob got lead around by his dick, remembered what his dad taught him about honor so tried to do the honorable thing by the girl, only to have it cost him the war and his life.
