And yes, Sean Bean is a walking spoiler,...Grimdark. And yes, Sean Bean is a walking spoiler, for sure.<br /><br />With the deathydeath and trolling, I sometimes wonder when it stops being cathartic in that Greek tragedy way, and just starts being needless pain. Heh. Character arc, journeys fraught with painful lessons, and the occasional Joss Whedon moment--I get those. They give stuff gravitas and all that. But there's a point when I'm tired from everyday life, and want something to work out well for a character I'm watching/reading about. I'm also a wimp, though...I do hope, though, that we writers are allowed to keep at least some of our folk alive. -.-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
