I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

As in, 'he shouldn't be in the tournament' not fair? Or are you just emphasizing the quality of his win?

Dario is another one who is underwhelming on the tv show. Is this any different in the book?

everything after tywin's death is different in the book

I get that. But is Dario specifically a more compelling character, or shown to be a better fighter? Coz based on the show, I don't know what Dany sees in him.

All the characters are more compelling in the books.

See, I think a few characters are actually better on the show. Davos is the primary example -- I was never really into his character that much in the books, but loved him on TV. Ditto the Red Viper.

Sandor is a bit different in that I loved him in the books, but find he's a more sympathetic character, and therefore even more likable, on the show.
