I am sorry but to me family connections and the reason people do things make the series endure. George RR Martin world is so interesting for he causes you to connect to his characters, everyone is motivated to do what they do due to some personal belief system, Martin makes you understand his characters and what drives them.

Take away the people's belief system

Take away the family trees and connections, and the world of ASOIAF would be very very different. Littlefinger would not have become what he is, if Brandon (Ned Stark's deceased older brother) was not a bully to him. Roberts Rebellion would not have happened if 5 different things would have happened. Some of these looking back may seem trivial but to the character eyes at the time it occurred they are perfectly natural.

Part of me loves the hedge knight novellas because they specifically go deeper into the ASOIAF world lore.

Well episode 9 of 10 is titles 'The Rains of Castamere' and 10 is 'Mhsya' Isaac - 01/05/2013 08:04:01 PM 630 Views
"Mhsya" makes it sound like messiah. Thankfully, it's actually spelled Mhysa. Nate - 02/05/2013 03:14:34 AM 690 Views
I routinely invert letters on the opposite side of the keyboard for some reason Isaac - 02/05/2013 05:15:28 AM 839 Views
The solution is to grow a giant hand, and then type one-handed. Nate - 02/05/2013 05:10:17 PM 628 Views

Excellent point. On the other, it's for TV and dumbed down for the general public. Cannoli - 01/05/2013 12:01:33 PM 631 Views
Who is crazier, Lysa Arryn (Catelyn sister) or Lady Selyse of House Florent (Stannis's wife) Roland00 - 01/05/2013 04:04:33 AM 637 Views
