So, as promised, a lengthy thread on #GoT, @GRRMspeaking, and the nature of narrative, as inspired by Mr Silvermint's thread (which I RT'd earlier), specifically this passing notice of the character's "past choices." LET US BEGIN. (Cue Patriarchy Jingle.)
Anybody who has heard me gas on about GoT, either on #NerdetteRecaps or in person, knows that I am obsessed with a central question: what makes this story, both in the books and then as translated to the screen, so incredibly compelling?
Yes, it's the epic fantasy setting and the scheming and the sex and the dragons and the sword-fights, not to mention, GRRM's own extraordinary chops developed during a 20 year writing career before he began the first novel. All necessary but not sufficient to explain it.
