people who have read the Game of Thrones books,
This show is just so unremittingly violent, and more than that, hopeless. They kill off almost everyone who you even give a damn about, in the most brutal way possible, and I wonder why keep on with it? Is there a point, when you finally get to the end? Or is it just one long relentless blood bath? Because if that's all it is, I think I'm done. Tonight's episode was just horrible, upsetting, and I just would like to know if it ever gets better?

I've seen people talk about dragons as being "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in the series, but I haven't seen anyone talk about GRRM's use of "winter" as an obvious allusion to "nuclear winter." I suspect he isn't just going to destroy the characters and the politics. I suspect he's going to destroy EVERYTHING. I mean by the time J.K. Rowling got to writing the last Harry book I knew the only questions I saw left where whether Snape would ultimately be good or evil, and whether or not Harry would have to die. Both questions she answered in the last book. Already the only question I see left about GRRM's series is will he destroy everything or not? I cared about Snape and Harry so I was interested in J.K. Rowling's answer. I don't care about GRRM's world so I don't have much interest in his answer.
