Thanks for the Katniss and Haymitch meta. It's very insightful and I'm so glad someone pointed out that the central trio of the books is Katniss-Peeta-Haymitch, not Gale. The books are about Team District 12 Victors, not Team Peeta vs. Team Gale.

Yes, exactly, and starting by making this point was what got me hooked immediately on the essay! You could take Gale out of the books, and the plot wouldn't have to change except early in the middle one. But Haymitch? No way.
