For some people fiction is about idealism. About rules and karmic laws and order. For others, it's a perpetual gateway to curiosities. I cannot imagine a world without Lolita, American Psycho, City of God, Clockwork Orange. Imagine if fiction only had place for straight over 'evil'. As if you can assign tags to people. Good, bad, white, black. And that is it. For me fiction has always been about what ifs. About hard, brutal questions I find myself intrigued with day after day. I think someone here mentioned murder would make RB black. Yet it wouldn't make him obsolete. Or invalid. Taking someone's life is such a hard boundary, yet some of my most favorite characters have crossed it, had their arcs, and made me root for them. I don't really see fixtures. There's always the question of what if he's not the same person anymore. Should he be punished for who he was?
Good writers make you uncomfortable. And if RB can make people uncomfortable, he's truly touched the pinnacle. I'M SOO SOOOO HAPPY ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE OH MY GOD!!
All i go back to "Cersei"... love for her children was beyond belief.. no one can threaten her family.. family was a red line to cross...
