It sucks. Just like Breaking Bad sucks. Just like Walking Dead sucks.

It's frowned upon but some of the legendary houses are known for it.

I read the books before the show came out (no hipster) and this is a rare case when i think the show is actually better than the books (inb4 negs from bookwhores)

Indeed. I'm really not surprised by all of the dumb chit tons of people like anymore. For example - I've seen waaaay too many grown adults who consider the Harry Potter series as masterpieces of literature, lol.

Just finished season one after seeing this thread a few days ago. The show is fantastic and Im definitely hooked but so far, I don't see it being in the GOAT conversation with The Wire or season 1 of True Detective. Will likely binge the next 6 or however many seasons there are in the next couple of weeks and report back.

If you dont mind sub titles, Gomorrah is a great series (not the film, i found that boring ). Filmed in my home city. Also Homeland is pretty good. Im loving Vikings at the moment, you should like that if you like GOT.

Well I was asking about the relationship between those twins.: they hide it because she’s married to the king of course but them being siblings does it make it more messed up

Ancient history was generally nowhere near as barbaric and insane as the plot of GOT, contrary to what fans of the story insist. The horrors and catastrophes that occurred generally happened spaced out over long periods of peace.
That is some valid critcism even some of the more chaotic history conflicts like the War of Roses, which some of Game of Thrones is based on, or Cesare Borgias life in Italy didn't have that many players rise and fall that fast.
I would say Martin makes it seem quite logical though. While the action is larger than life, it is still close enough to seem reasonable

Which is something that cannot be said for most shows. Be it the crime show cop, that ends in weekly shoot outs with the murderer, the sitcom family, which have some unnecessary quarrel every day or even some great show like the Sopranos, which can be totally unbelievable at times.

It inspires you. It gives you hope. It teaches you a moral lesson. There are no such lessons in the world of Westeros. There is only despair.
Not every story needs to have a moral lesson. Sometimes they need to just focus on the characters. Many great classics don't have moral lessons, but focus on other things. James Joyce Ulisses does not have a moral lesson, but it is often hailed as the greatest book of all times.
Moreover bluntly trying to bash people with some moral compass is bound to fail for the ones, who don't agree with the lesson beforehand.

Just showing viewers some f*cked up stuff and how it effects the characters is a much better (and more democratic) way to teach a lesson. Many great classics do that.

Game of Thrones might be simple, but it is not dumb. Martin knows exactly where he is going with his writing and what he is doing.
He also explored topics and plots in a way no other author in his genre did before him.

It is obviously not a noble price worthy piece of literature, but it is certainely well written and quite smart.

I haven't read the books but the setting isn't creative, the character names are extremely dumb, and I don't think the political intrigue is interesting.

I think Martin wanted to write a historical novel, but thought it wouldn't be gripping enough, or maybe too hard, and decided to write a lame one with dragons, etc to make it fantasy, but he didn't really have much of an idea. I have read MANY novels and there's a lot better stuff out there with very creative settings and unique situations.

I've had to sit through all the seasons of this chit show so far because my gf now wife likes it. I'd rather pound my nutsack with a pineapple than watch this garbage.

I put the hammer down...I WILL NOT pay for HBO for the last season.

I feel the exact same way about the Walking dead.

I know Khal Drogo(sp?)is going to die soon.. which sucks because I really loved him and blondie together and was more invested in that storyline than I was with any other ones... I’m assuming some **** is going to go down soon. I’ve put some stuff together.. I know blondie and Jon show get something up together from seeing that online all the time and I was so confused about it because her and Drogo actually seemed in love. I’m glad he’s actually dead before that happens.


Also CAREFUL your wording people.. especially past tenses lol... don’t say **** like “he was evil”. It’s a spoiler.. I’m going to assume that Joffrey turns good or is nice now and that’s why that was said lol

Probably best not to use this thread, if you want to avoid spoilers.

IME people will give spoilers, even if they try hard not to.

There are a lot more hard hitting deaths than that, just wait.
