and why are they forcing me to cheer against Bronn? it's like the Flames just traded Backlund to the Oil and now I must hate him even though I don't want to.
Isn't that part of what makes the show great, that it blurs the line of good vs evil that is typical of the fantasy genre? I recall reading a quote from George RR that was something along those lines, that wars in real life were never as simple as good guys and bad guys, and he wanted his story to reflect that.
