re: Busting out the extended edition LOTRs

Fully agree that Martin's characters pwn the LotR characters. I saw all the movies when they came out, have the DVD's, but haven't even touched them since 2004. I dont have any desire to rewatch LotR. Both series are very different but ASOIAF/GoT has some of the best characterization and character development that I've read and seen. Lots of former non-fantasy fans that I know love GoT. As for me, I never rewatched LotR once the hype died down and I was drawn into the GoT and the ASOIAF universe. I was hooked after 1 episode.

While I would admit that ASOIAF's character have far more complexity than LOTR's, I would not call LOTR's characters "one-dimensional."
Smeagol/Gollum
Boromir
Galadriel
Denethor
Just to name a few have degrees of complexity.
PLUS, LOTR lends itself to a "simpler" story because it IS (quest to destroy the ring). ASOIAF has no "single" theme/story. This is not a criticism (fan of both), just an observation.
