Nah, I thought GRRM telegraphed his deaths better than Whedon. I mean, if you're walking around in these books with Too Damn Noble to Live or Son of Too Damn Noble to Live, Trying to Be Like Dad Except More Royal - well, how could you possibly survive? Wash, on the other hand... WHY, WHEDON, WHY?

[tears_of_nienna]

Oh, I was expecting death--and a lot of it--but usually Son of Too Damn Noble to Livemakes it long enough to get justice for his family. Instead of, you know, getting shot down at a wedding feast by a petty lord.

Note to self: Never have wedding feast. Those things seem to be dangerous. XD

And Wash...that was the meanest thing ever. Absolutely cruel.

*nodnod* My thoughts exactly. Weddings mid-book are bad news. Especially weddings that involve the Treacherous Side-Changing Bastards Family after you've just insulted said family. Especially when the bride is crying and your telepathically-bonded animal guardian, forced to wait outside, is howling like there's something wrong, and most especially when you're living in an age of chaos and violence where being Too Damn Noble has already been shown to be a death sentence. Poor kid should have just sent a nice electric mixer and a note.

Wash was definitely the meanest thing ever. So random! Spears from nowhere WTF? I mean, if he went into battle and died, that would at least be more understandable since he's not a fighter. That was just deliberate cruelty.

What's the good of having a psychic direwolf if you're not going to PAY ATTENTION TO IT?

WORD. But I bet it's hard to get ahold of good wedding presents when you get married in the middle of a five-way war. Instead of a bridal registry they probably just put out a hit list. I can see it now--

Bride: *opens box* Ohh, another severed, tarred head of an enemy! Thank you so much!

That was just deliberate cruelty.

And you'd think, after a while, we'd get used to writers being cruel bastards. But we never do.

*snicker* Yeah, that sounds like wedding presents GRRM-style :D

I've just started assuming that any series will end with a) all my favorite characters dead, or b) all my favorite characters turned evil or boring or otherwise changed beyond recognition. It kind of helps. Because they're all cruel bastards!
