And, as far as Sansa goes, I’m not just a little surprised to hear that she survives through the fourth book. My money’s on Arya for day-saving.

Oh, please. I WAS SO RIGHT. It was the principle of the thing. The details were of little significance.

Wait, I don’t understand. You wanted the Harry Potter books in paperback?

YOU DID NOT, MOTHER. YOU DID NOT GET IT RIGHT. You had the most maudlin scenario in the whole history of time, and when I read the actual scene, all I could think about was how UNMERITEDLY SMUG you were going to be even though you obviously did not get it right at all.

I don’t even know what I want to ask! I know that a certain someone gets brutally stabbed a la Julius Caesar, but I’m pretty sure that person isn’t really dead.

Oh, I didn’t read them that fast between my first post and this one! That would have been crazy. No, by the time I wrote my review of the first book, I was already midway through the third. And then I delayed posting it for some reason. So.

My favorite character, let’s see. I want to say Jaime, but I feel like I’m swayed by how incredibly handsome the actor who plays him in the series is. Soooooo…tough call. :p

I remember when I read the sixth Harry Potter book for the first time, i had about two minutes of white-hot all-consuming rage at Snape. And then I remembered that Snape was a good guy and that he had undoubtedly killed Dumbledore at Dumbledore’s request. But I still hate Snape. I hate him. I think he crossed the moral event horizon when he made fun of Hermione’s teeth in the fourth book. What kind of grown-up makes fun of a fourteen-year-old girl?

Awesome, I am so excited that somebody agrees with me! Most people try to placate me by saying things like “Uh, sure, maybe,” but it is so rare for me to get resounding agreement. Awesome! YES. When she does save the day, you and I can gloat like crazy.

The series stays remarkably faithful to the books, at least so far. I understand that in the subsequent seasons, they may be departing from the books a little — I imagine there’s some cutting they’ll have to do, and some character conflation. Just to make it fit.

I hope Randon’s helped you! I seriously have no idea how to answer that question!
