Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

I'm sure you'd like to remember it that way.

 

I'm really just a lawman trying to tame the vicious wilderness that is Lit. It's like Somalia, but with more sniping.

 

Sleep apnea? Usually nothing to worry about, from what I know.

 

We are talking about a character lied in order to protect Prince Joffrey over her own family, the lovable little soul that he is.

She is a fantastic character, but it is because of her growth as a character through the books(and even TV series) that people like her. At the start she was a horrible girl with horrible priorities. I suspect a lot more TV viewers like her in Season 2 than did in Season 1, because in Season 1 she was completely blind to the world around her. I think it is a pretty natural reaction for the TV viewers, based on Season 1, to not like her very much.

I also hate Catelyn in the books, but it is an admirable kinda hate. She is thew crazy lady who acts first and thinks second. She tried to have Tyrion killed for a crime he did not commit via a fake trial. She is not exactly a paragon of virtue that one.

I actually didn't notice a lack of Sansa in Season 2, but at a glance apparently she didn't appear at all in several episodes so there might be something to that. She certainly had way more screen time, dialog and story than Ros did.

As mentioned Ros is there likely for Porn first to meet HBO's quotas, but she does fill an interesting role that allows us to learn more about several key players in the story. Because we know Ros a little it makes those scenes they put her in with Little Finger & Varys work better than if those scenes took place with whore #1 who we didn't have a history with what so ever.

 

I was thinking that you woke up sooner than expected, like being unexpectedly snapped out of REM sleep.

 

Wait, the book has Sansa more complicit in Cersei's plans, doesn't it? I swear that she told the Queen about Ned's intention to ship herself and Arya back to White Harbour. Anyway, Sansa is a great character; not only does she progress into a likeable and sympathetic player, but she also provides an ever intriguing insight into King's Landing in her POV chapters (King's Landing is my favourite). I love her story in SoS and AFFC, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Spoiler: A Storm of Swords

The Moon Door!! Also, I can't wait to see where Sansa and Littlefinger's story goes in TWoW.

 

What are Arya's flaws in your opinion, Jello? I can think of the

slaughter of people unnecessarily (moreso in the books)

, but I'm interested to see what you think.

 

Drew Karpyshyn is doing an AMA at the SWEU subreddit, if anyone's interested.

 

Who?

 

Reddit?

 

AMA?

 

AFJ?

 

Tacos?

 

I'd just like to point out that this is actually far easier for me to follow than the GoT conversation.

 

It's a sign then: watch the show, dammit!

 

The urge to go troll that is nigh-impossible to resist.

 

Someone was faster then you from the look of it

 

Someone please ask him about writing for "adults like me".

 

He (the guy Gorefiend mentioned) went on to say this:

 

I hate you all.

Eh, trolling is counter-productive. Play nice.

That said, I'd like to troll some of the people *asking* the questions:

"Dessel/Bane was obviously a very powerful Sithlord. And it was hinted that he was the fortold Sith'ari. Whether this is coincidental or blatant, I am not sure. But how does it feel to have a character that you sculpted and created take on it's own essences and characterizations outside your vision of them?" (my emphasis)

LOL.
