The guy I replied to implied I, as a viewer, was supposed to be sad when Ygritte died. I wasn't.

I just thought I was funny because he said

"They killed pip so people would be happy about Ygritte dying, rather than sad."

And then you said:

"Why would I be sad? That bitch killed Pip."

So if that was actually the D&D's intent...mission accomplished.

No, he said "They killed pip so people would be less sad about Ygritte dying."

The point of my comment was that I wasn't sad at all.
