Isn't sad when you read a book and feel sad that one of your favorite characters has died or been killed? Isn't it worse when you invest yourself in a series and one of the main characters featured throughout the series is completely destroyed and the storyline is surprisingly ended? George RR Martin probably has a whole lot more hate mail this week than when he actually wrote the book featuring the scene that was just filmed and shown on TVs everywhere. I find it a victory though, in George RR Martin, that as a writer of fantasy and epic stories he can evoke and create such tumultuous emotions in a wide range of people. That is true talent. The day we stop lamenting and feeling empathy for the characters we grow with each week is the day we truly have a tragedy like that of the "Red Wedding". The North will never forget!
