King Joffrey was obviously misunderstood
It's just a show, but it's such a great show that I'm still so relieved to this day that King Joffrey is dead!! I was so sick of his shit for what felt like an eternity; that's some terrific writing.

Is that King Joffrey?
R+L=J: who are Jon Snow's parents? (GoT/ASOIAF Fan Theory)
I believe you're thinking about it in reverse.
From season 1, a blonde (Lannister) mating with a black-haired (Baratheon) is expected to yield a black-haired child. (That's why Ned knew blonde Joffrey wasn't Robert's son.)
For this theory, black-haired Lyanna Stark supposedly made Jon Snow with blonde-haired Rhaegar Targaryen, so it would be expected that his hair would be black.
No?
The only problem with this theory, which btw I think is prob right, is that John has the wrong coloured hair. Since there is the whole The Seed is strong thing in the first season, it seems a little out of place. But yeah otherwise. Bang on.
reactions to the mountain viper fight GoT - spoilers
I didn't say that only the likable characters died. I don't believe the death of an unlikable character compensates for the death of a likable one. I was referring to a quote by Martin, in which he stated that every time a character got so popular that the reader expected them to be the hero of the story, he had to kill them off immediately. I just hope that this isn't the whole reason for doing this but that it serves the bigger picture of the story.
I also really loved Joffrey as a character and I was sad, too, that he died, although it was very satisfactory after all that he had done. But he was still an interesting character who will be missed. So I don't only mourn the likable characters. I mourn interesting characters with wasted narrative potential.
Yeah, I know. I hated it when Joffrey and Lysa died too. Why does he always kill the likable characters? So predictable

My reaction was: "Okay, that's it. I'm done with this show. I'll never watch Game of Thrones again and I'll never read the books, because the plot has gotten too repetitive and therefore extremely annoying!1 It continuously uses the same pattern over and over again. Why should I bother watching the show if I know that every interesting and/or likable character (except Tyrion) will face certain death at the next best opportunity (George R.R. Martin said so himself, but I didn't expect him to do this every damn time) just as a means to shock the audience/readership and an attempt to make the plot seem unpredictable. But you know what? If you kill off the most likable and interesting character(s) every season/novel, this is very predictable. It's just lazy and unimaginative storytelling."
That's why I had already expected this to happen, although I really hoped it wouldn't, not only because I liked the character, but because this pattern is really starting to get old. Therefore, I just found it severely annoying, since it seemed so predictable and repetitive. However, I have come to terms with this outcome since then and I'll most probably keep watching the show, but I may never get invested in any character's fate again, because it can be easily predicted.
1I'm not usually one to stop watching a show for any reason, except if it's really badly written and executed, and even then I give it at least several episodes to make up my mind. So I'm not one of those who say "If [insert character name] dies, I'll stop watching the show."

Joffrey, the yellow haired little shit from Game Of Thrones.
Dude, are you seriously telling me you don't watch the best fantasy show ever made? That's against nature, man. It's just unnatural. Don't.

It's wishful thinking.
It's the same reason why Joffrey needs to remind people all the time he's the King, he isn't and somewhere in his broken, pathetic mind he knows it. It's the same with these guys.

It's funny that for allegedly being the ubermensch, the highest-ranking Nazis all looked like a bunch of dweebs.
Lord Tywin reveals his knowledge of Arya's ruse - S2E7
Tywin is a cold, calculating magnificent bastard, and in the books that's really all he is.
One of the reasons I love this scene (and it's substantially different from the books, where Arya never meets Tywin) is that it humanises Tywin somewhat.
Some fiction likes to portray the bad guys as inhuman monsters, but in reality most people (even the very worst) are not like that. They came to where they are through a series of small steps, each more horrific than the last, but each justified in their own mind.
That, to me, is far scarier than the likes of Joffrey or the Mountain. Joffrey is just broken, and Ser Gregor is almost literally a monster. But Tywin made himself into what he is.
And that's the brilliance of this story. When you can feel sympathy for a character whose first significant act is to push a small boy out a window because he was saw him engaged in incest, you have a good writer.
