Re: ONLY SEEN GAME OF THRONES, HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS

hm, I can't entirely agree.

It's the ones who do the large, public gestures that get Tarquined. Those that know how to slip in small acts of compassion "under the radar" -- Tyrion, for example, Davos, and Sandor (though I suspect the latter would kill anyone who accused him of compassion) --- at least in the TV series have mananged to survive.

I said at least somewhat terrible, though, and even if people are capable of being compassionate, they also usually have some serious moral flaws or some heinous shit they've done in the past (which we usually overlook when we're stanning for them). As much as I love Tyrion as a character, I think "somewhat terrible" is definitely a fair descriptor, and Sandor is a fairly brutal knight in addition to whatever else he is. The world of ASOIAF tends to require people to make horrible, awful choices - people are torn between untenable alternatives by the vicissitudes of power. You have to be somewhat ruthless.

Davos actually probably is an exception, though. I forgot about him. Which is a shame because he's so awesome.

Oh, and SA - I think there are probably some other exceptions as well, thinking about it - notably Brienne.

You could say Sansa as well, but I'd give it another couple books before I made that call one way or the other.

Point taken.

I suppose it's that the truly terrible are SO far off the normal scale that they do make the "not always completely terrible" ones seem almost saintly in comparison.
