So you know how in EP 179 Basira says to Jon, "You apologize too much", to which he replies, "Martin says the same thing", and then Basira says, "Like he's any better"?

So yeah, this little interaction inspired me to crunch some numbers. And believe it or not, but Martin is, in fact, better!

Statistically speaking.

Over 5 seasons, Jon apologizes 122 times, while Martin apologizes 91 times.

The main difference between these two is that Jon apologizes more frequently and for everything (especially in S5), whereas Martin piles up multiple 'sorry's per apology.

Nothing illustrates that better than this little tidbit, which coincidentally comes from EP 179, as well!

EP 179 is *also* The Most Sorry Episode™: it sits at 9-4 with Martin in the lead!

Impressive work all around! (I'm incredibly concerned. These two need help.)

tma is a show which spends the first 100 episodes going "look at these monsters. aren't they fucked up. yeah and they're all so happy being monsters who hurt people monstrously" and then the protagonist who you've spent hours listening to at this point becomes one of those fucked up monsters, forcing you to either dismiss him as evil or you have to fully change how you view all the previous monsters. and then they spend the next 100 episodes dealing with that

the thing that kills me about Martin putting tapes on the buried coffin is that he accepts Jon’s non-humanity more than Jon himself does. Jon’s still trying to believe that he’s human so much that he tries to bring himself back with his physical body, even though he’s been freely using it as collateral for years by this point. But Martin sees Jon, knows that his tie to the Eye is stronger than his tie to his body and loves him enough to bring him back anyways. S4 is WILD dude
