I think one reason - of OH SO MANY - I like game of thrones is that it makes you question loyalty. It reminds you of the risk of saying This Is My Belief, This Is My King. It's like Dogma,the idea that an idea will always be better than a belief because an idea can change. I texted people to ask what is better, a bought man or one who believes they share your ideals, and I believe - if you can afford it - the former, because I believe that there are entirely too many people in the world who believe they are in complete agreement, without any conjunction at all.
