Rant and Rave without Repercussions - Includes Season 6 Spoilers Part 2

OMG Her opinion of Show Cersei! too funny, clearly she confuses the book Cersei with the Show Cersei!

 

She criticizes Khal Drogo as being essentially a one trick pony of uber male, unbeatable tough guy.  Who dies of boredom?  Of course she misses the point that his character and death deconstruct that image.

How could anyone take this critic seriously?

from the New Yorker, supposedly a review of GoT

 

"...with the towering Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) endlessly escorting the tiny Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) from danger to safety, or from safety to danger..."

 

umm what show has she been watching?

A girl should read this "review" it is a perfect storm of not understanding.

I won't though, b/c I'll spend a long time yelling at my computer and cursing, and just being outraged in general. And it's bedtime, I won't put myself through that crap (I take it there's more than what you quoted - and no, don't tell me!) b/c it will give me nightmares. More nightmares, that is.

Maybe I was wrong, maybe it won't infuriate me but make me laugh uncontrollably. :lol:

I cant stop laughing cause of how wrong this person is.  How clearly he doesn't get it.  It doesn't help he is clearly not a fantasy fan, despite this being "adult" fantasy.  He really just comes across as not well informed, despite a clear attempt to show the reader how smart he is.

And Robert Strong is with Jaime???? They may be discussing who is better suited to champion Cersei?

No, it can't be. No....... it's impossible, right?

Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

Really, really completely idiotic. 

He's also wrong about both Dunnett and Martin - Dunnett has an amazingly written sword fight in her first Lymond book, and well, we all know Martin can write. Clive James is just being a contrarian and showing his genre-despising credentials. (Please, it's not as though literary writers like Margaret Atwood and John Banville haven't written genre fiction because they totally have. If it's not your genre of choice that's fine, but to belittle the author of the Red Wedding to bolster the authors of "you need the bad pussy" is just being contrarian.)

WRT to Arya

Clearly, the main thing keeping her alive was the showrunners' determination to fascinate us with the process of her maturation.

 

Umm no GRRM has a role for her dummy
