George R R Martin, thou art a son of a bitch. Yeah, I'm sure I speak for all GoT fans across the globe. You've created this myriad of characters who we fall for, and who we find despicable. And yet, you come up with these untimely deaths. David Benioff and D.B.Weiss have come up with the most brilliant adaptation for TV.
