““Call it the Jar Jar Binks Effect. Call it “Yes, George R.R. Martin is My Bitch” Syndrome. Call it whatever, it’s that abiding ire at something you’ve delighted in betraying you, as it seems, simply by ceasing to delight. It’s the frustration at that thing not being what it once was, not being what it could still be or might become again. It’s the investment of imagination turned sour.””
