Exactly! It's such a silly argument that he's making. And comparing it with historical fiction! We know we're not reading/watching one of those, Mr. Martin, that's why spoilers matter.

Oh the laugh track.. I invariably find myself laughing loudest when the track gives a passing grin and grimacing when they're going bonkers and rolling in the aisles (we finally saw this episode in Britain today btw)

done reading it, in a kind of binge-read that I haven't done since I first discovered Sherlock Holmes etc.. and really really enjoyed it, despite that absolutely predictable end.. thank you Mr. Weir!

Its unputdownable! Utterly so!! I took a break after reading the first six chapters just to say this here.. brilliant, funny, insightful, intelligent… next update when I take a break for food :)
