Game of Thrones—George R. R. Martin is also thinking ahead anxiously to the second season of the show based on his novels. In this case, he's worried about how with show will fare now that the central figure of Eddard Stark, played by Sean Bean, has been killed off. Martin is feeling unnerving parallels to a series he used to write for, Beauty and the Beast. "Linda Hamilton decided to leave after the second season, and so we killed off her character right at the beginning at the third season and the ratings just went through the floor," Martin said at the Golden Globes. "People hated it and the show was done after that."
Eddard Stark with snuffed in the penultimate episode of season 1, following the storyline established in the novel. "We've only had one episode after Sean's character died and, well, we'll find out how it affects things," Martin said. "It was a big shock to a lot of people and it was interesting to see the response to it. It's something I did, you know, 16 years ago when the book came out. So it wasn't a secret, of course, but I could see the shock of it in the emails I got and on the blogs and the headlines. Time will tell how it affects the show, but hopefully the rest of the characters and their stories have become compelling to people... but I have to admit I worry about it a little after the experience with Beauty and the Beast and Linda Hamilton." I don't think George has much to worry about, do you?
