1. GoT: Unpleasant people doing unpleasant things to each other

I bailed out half way through season 2. I will occasionally watch clips of key scenes (such as Joffrey taking his last drink). Hold onto your hat. The guy who slept with his twin and produced three children and who dropped a kid out of a tower is one of the last heroic people left in the book series. I kid you not. Martin has spent the last three books rehabilitating Jamie to the point that you are concerned that he is being led into a trap. If the series follows that arc, Jamie will come back from this. I guess it is ok because everybody hates Cersei anyway (sarcasm).
