The Rains of Castamere Audio Commentary with David Nutter, Michelle Fairley and Richard Madden

“Sansa was a lady at three, always so courteous and eager to please. She loved nothing so well as tales of knightly valor. Men would say she had my look, but she will grow into a woman far more beautiful than I ever was, you can see that. I often sent away her maid so I could brush her hair myself. She had auburn hair, lighter than mine, and so thick and soft… the red in it would catch the light of the torches and shine like copper.”

I found the greatest blog post ever the other day. Actually, the post itself is pretty meh, it’s the comments that are great:
An author can kill characters: it is easy. Fooling a reader is simple–the author owns the world. But a good writer understands that plot flows from something. Marting breaks the Checkov gun corollary: if there was never a mention of something, then making it happen isn’t suprising or edgy, it is just poor plotting and writing.
Well, besides that vision in the House of the Undying, the Ghost of High’s Heart prophecy, and what was clearly established about the personalities of Tywin Lannister, Roose Bolton, and Walder Frey, you mean.
The only thing I find unbelievable is that Roose, Walder, and Lothar expected Catelyn to be a Neutral Female during said events. (I’m of the opinion that they originally intended to let her live: as the widow of Ned Stark and daughter of Hoster Tully, she would have been quite valuable as a hostage and a potential marriage prospect.) Though, I suppose they didn’t know that she’d already faced off with an assassin in defense of Bran, so.
My son lies here broken and dying, Luwin, and you wish to discuss a new master of horse? Do you think I care what happens in the stables? Do you think it matters to me one whit? I would gladly butcher every horse in Winterfell with my own hands if it would open Bran’s eyes, do you understand that? Do you?
