Ray, I was wondering if you were watching session two of aGT, I know you watched session one!
We're starting to get into the heart of GRRM's story, which is complex and violent in the best of times, and as many know winter is coming! (Hahahahahahahaaaa...I love that line!) so yes at the moment we are ritualed in the "politics" of Westros, which seems all so petty! So anyway my question is when you're watching something like aGT on tv, do you ever imagine your world on TV?

"not really any cold blooded killings?" spoiler space Erik chopping a guy nearly in half after he rapes a girl to death. Arakasi assassinating the master of the Hamoi Tong in his own home. Kaspar obliterating Talon's people? Anyway, George is writing a seriously political fantasy, while mine is more concerned with larger cosmic issues, so there's your difference at heart. So you're correct in there's no politically motivated murder in that fashion. There's some of that going on in the last book, but George's entire trope is competing dynasties battling it out for control of Westeros.
