re: #115 Barefoot Grin

I don’t want to say that I don’t like sympathetic villains like Kylo…hell, I’m sure I’ve been one in someone’s sick fantasy…but what made the first Star Wars great was the relatively clear cut “good guy vs bad guy” structure. I was 11 or 12. Kids my age, college students, parents all hissed when Darth showed up and cheered for the rebels when they scored a hit.

But this is the Game of Thrones era, in which, except for monsters like Ramsey or Jeoffrey, we can feel sympathy for almost anyone, even Cersei.
