DON'T YOU DARE FLIPPIN' QUIT YET!!!!! (Trust me. Revenge is a dish best served cold remember. :D )

And, as I hear tell, a Lannister always pays his debts.

(Arya was almost there and then everything just went to hell and...wah.)

I knew exactly the part you were talking about the minute I read your comment. I almost pitched the book across the room when I read it, and Taller Half said he was going to track down Martin and kick him. :D He's good. You've gotta give the guy that. He's good.

tears_of_nienna July 5 2008, 03:08:30 UTC

He's so good. So good that you just know when something's going to go wrong, and the whole wedding was giving me the heebie jeebies...but even then I didn't think the Starks would get it.

I feel like I did about 2/3 of the way through Serenity--anyone and everyone could die. And like Serenity, I'm too attached to (most of) the characters to take it in stride. :(

Who died this time?

tears_of_nienna July 5 2008, 02:06:03 UTC

Everyone. Well--

(OMG SPOILER ALERT!)

Robb!!! I freaking loved Robb! And apparently Catelyn. And Arya is right freaking there, she's spent two whole books trying to get back to her family and she's she's just outside the gates and it is just. not. fair.

mattador July 5 2008, 02:09:57 UTC

Ah.

neumeindil July 5 2008, 02:20:44 UTC

And apparently Catelyn.

Appearances can be deceptive. *whistles innocently*

HA HA PLOT ARMOUR WHAT PLOT ARMOUR

tears_of_nienna July 5 2008, 04:33:25 UTC

THERE IS NO PLOT ARMOUR. ROCKS FALL, EVERYONE DIES.

kaj_22 July 5 2008, 11:01:18 UTC

AND IF ROCKS DON'T FALL AND EVERYONE DIES THEN A NASTY MAN WITH A SWORD BEHEADS THEM.

I feel your pain, the series is just so damned cheerful it makes puppies seem depressing /sarcasm

tears_of_nienna July 5 2008, 14:47:45 UTC

On the bright side, it makes reality look so much nicer by comparison. Oh, man, I have to work on Saturday!? Well, at least they didn't CUT OFF MY HEAD AND DIP IT IN OIL AND STICK IT ON A FREAKING CASTLE WALL.

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 July 8 2008, 01:42:24 UTC

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.

sunnyskywalker July 11 2008, 19:17:29 UTC

Never have wedding feast. Those things seem to be dangerous

*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.

tears_of_nienna July 12 2008, 14:59:05 UTC

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

Poor kid should have just sent a nice electric mixer and a note.

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.
