OK, so I had really avoided this whole thing because I never read the books, and we cut the TV cable long ago in my house; as a phenomenon it was totally passing me by. Then, as more people whose taste I trust started talking about it, I decided, "May as well give it a shot, starting with the books" and . . . man, I am ALL IN. Since the last week of July I've read A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings, and just downloaded A Storm of Swords today. I also d/l'ed the first episode from iTunes to see how it translated, and was so impressed with the production and casting I went to a used place and bought Season 1 on Blu-Ray.
It's not often I come across a sci-fi or fantasy world builder who seems to have fully thought through everything before s/he even puts pen to paper, but this is definitely one of the times.

first three books are a tour de force of plotting that would be hard to match. they're also Act I so imo it's way too soon to tell whether or not grrm's flailing.

yeah it's only been nearly 20 years - way too soon!
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 21:57 (nine years ago) link
not sure how the start date's relevant? high point would have been ten years ago, low point would have been three years ago. we're in the baggy middle now and we'll find out soon enough whether it all pays off like it did in book three or goes pear shaped.

OK no spoilers but for fuck's sake is Sansa ever NOT a moron?
― Welcome to my spooooooky carnival! Hope I don't... blow your mind! (Phil D.), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link
She has been entirely moronic up to now but I sort of feel she has the potential to get the better of Machiavellian genius Littlefinger if only because LF clearly has a weakness for Stark girls.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 20 August 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
I've always felt sympathy for Sansa because she's the character that was most invested in the fairytale idea and then had it ripped away again and again. Like a viewer who thinks "oh fantasy and knights and princesses this will be fun oh god oh god"
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 15:52 (nine years ago) link
I think it's uncharitable to call her a moron, she's a child at the mercy of horrible events beyond her control. She's just not a total badass like her sister.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 16:06 (nine years ago) link
seems like the obvious course of sansa's arc is for her to keep being dragged along until she suddenly snaps and does something badass at a key moment using all the knowledge she's absorbed while in pseudocaptivity
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 20 August 2014 16:09 (nine years ago) link
I read that as paedocaptivity.

Yeah, I guess "moron" is uncharitable, but she seems to be horrible at both practicing and reading the courtly manners she's so concerned with all the time. Like, Tyrion didn't ask for ________ any more than she did, but yeesh, girl, come on.

or she becomes Littlefinger's mini-me and, at a crucial juncture, acts in what she perceives as her own best interests with catastrophic results for others.
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link
She's there to show the audience how monsters are created, I think. First terrified, then sulking and resentful, then gradually more calculating, devious and eventually destructive. This is what happens when you grow up a pawn of castle intrigue, and the endpoint I suppose is Cersei
