What? The whole series is an expression of depression and regret. *spoilers* Kotagg Send a noteboard - 03/03/2010 08:53:10 PM
Don't get me wrong, as I love the series, but it is what it is.

- The rape and subsequent issues with Sioned and Rohan
- The death of two different twins
- Tobin's palsy
- The ridiculously bittersweet death of Rohan, Andry's death and the whole idea that he could have been the best leader if things had happened differently for him
- Meiglan's death and the whole issue of love lost with Pol and Sionell

It's like the series is a commentary on three things:

- We get old and die and it sucks
- Bad things happen and there's nothing to be done about it
- No one is a good person, everyone has faults that mar them to the point that they should be disliked
