So You Think You Can Dance is a reality TV competition show and Dance Academy is an Australian teen drama about a bunch of kids at a ballet academy. So they are similar in that they are both about dance, but that's about it.
Yet, somehow I have a feeling that, if this happened at Sansa's wedding and it was Joffrey, Tywin, and Cersei, you wouldn't have an issue with it.
Thats the thing though, bad things do not only happen to good people. Unless he starts killing Lannisters, he is subverting his own trope.
And cutting off Jamie's hand is not enough to balance
catching up on GoT.... so yeah i got to the red wedding. what is this shit? i wasn't to fond of that storyline, but you really gotta go and do that?
I'm really wondering what the story is about now.

The real story is that the white walkers are waking up in the north, and the fukn king is too stupid to do anything about it

I think show-goers have this idea that the story is about the Starks; while they were/are a key piece of the story, they're not THE story.
As for worrying that bad things will only happen to the good people: "oh, my sweet summer child"
bear in mind when you say stuff like "unless he starts..." that 2.5 books have happened between what you've watched and what he's already written and published.
If you get curious about what's in store, you can always read
That said, reading non-readers' speculation is usually equal parts baffling and hilarious.
Oh good. Im waiting for some bad people to die horrible-ass deaths. Ill enjoy that.
Been over this, read halfway into the second and stopped. They felt... tedious? I got nothing from them, no real enjoyment
Ladybutt watches it while I sit on the couch and read a book. I watch it through osmosis.Yet you can't stop watching the movie about it?
You didn't consider the lords of Qarth bad? They kidnapped her dragons.

I was thinking about why I'm not a fan, I think it's because GRRM spends all this time letting you get to know who these people are, letting you get a sense of them, then he kills them and you're left thinking "The fuck did I spend all that time reading about them for?"
It's hard to articulate.

I'd have to pay attention more, but I feel that's a little wrong. He does have a core cast, but he is clearly adding people. Considering who he kills, who knows if the people he's adding are going to become core cast members or not?So far, as an author, he does something I like:
Establishes a set of characters at the beginning, a fairly large one and then runs with them throughout the story. He rarely introduces new characters, its always people you already know. It makes them some how more familiar .
I said it's hard to articulate, there are aspects of it that I didn't bother to flesh out as it would take too much time and I doubt I could put it across in such a way that would be easily understood.Death doesn't make the story about how they got there any less interesting...
