I actually think that the romance was done extremely well, simple and subtle. Other than the needless pause on the boat in the 3rd or 4th episode, I actually think the added scenes involving them were the best addition in the TV series. It made them much more sympathetic especially how they played Rose's Noonvale Song, as I call it, after her death. I didn't cry at her death, in the book, but it was the first character death in any book to have a long term effect on me. Of course, she was my favorite female character. I also think that Martin's reaction was well written because I could really feel how Martin was feeling in the end. -TW
