just started watching GOT. and..

[MadSquabbles500]

The production value is high, but the writing sucks. It is also too slow.

Vikings, Last Kingdom, Black Sails are all better. Even first season of Marco Polo is better.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

once I started watching I stopped using the internet unless I had to. It's so popular that there are a lot of unexpected spoilers when people post references/memes

 

[splendica]

wanted to assume it was going to be overrated. but fuck


its so good.

however I cant believe it is so goddamn popular despite the gore/violence/rape/incest.

surprised that a show with a display of so many taboo concepts is so mainstream.




in before "its overrated"

I'm with you in that I can't believe it became such a mainstream show. It's talked about from newscasts to just about anything else as a part of pop culture. But it's one of the raunchiest shows I've ever seen that isn't straight up porn.

 

[EJAXXX]

HBO is money

I started praying to the HBO Gods after I saw Deadwood for the first time

I love The Wire, but I know things happen like that. Deadwood was very different to me. Both are just quality

Reality Check - He's published 1 book in the last 13 years.

Reality check. I ignore reality about this because I still have hope for WoW.

If I die tomorrow I would rather die thinking a book will come out than knowing he got fat,lazy, and rich.

Is this how Christians feel about the rapture?

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Reality check. I ignore reality

And that's all I needed to read.

Wow, really? That shit basically guarantees viewers. I bet the show wouldn't be so popular if it were on say, TNT and had no nudity and less gore.

You lucky bastard. Im a little jelly.

Disclsimer: If you like GOT, you're going to disagree.

It lost my attention before season one ended.

I had roommates who were obsessed with it and watch season 4 with them.

I've never been inclined to watch it on my own. I know all that has happened because everyone talks about it, but none of it drags me in to watch it again.

There has never been a moment where I felt for a character that's not Tyrion. And when people succeed, it's never rewarding. Just rebuilding. It's annoying.

I can't stand war epics, though I know its not all war. Also I'm a fan of exploiting characters rather than constantly getting rid of them. The sex and blood doesnt attract me like back when I was younger.

Because incest.

That sweet, sweet incest.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Stop at season 6, seriously, season 7 will ruin the previous ones. Take an advice from one of the biggest GoT fans of all time. I'm such a fan I'm fucking pissed off at those fucking idiots that messed up the best show ever in season 7.

What's wrong with season 7?

 

[LEGS MAHONEY]

Going back and rewatching the series it always amazes me how many damn fine actors that show has.

 

[CO68]

What's wrong with season 7?

S7 is rushed, but it's not nearly as bad as whiny hipsters say it is.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

S7 is rushed, but it's not nearly as bad as whiny hipsters say it is.

The finding a white walker storyline sucked as did Jamie falling into shallow water then all of a sudden he's plunging to his watery death sucked but it was still a pretty good season imo

It's the worst of the show but the show has been quality since the beginning. Hopefully season 8 concludes the series nicely.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Also didn't make sense for Dani to not attack the night king and his men when they're right there!

 

[CO68]

The finding a white walker storyline sucked

The storyline wasn't bad, but wasn't executed that well in Beyond the Wall.

Jamie falling into shallow water then all of a sudden he's plunging to his watery death sucked

That's one of those damn tropes where they leave you with a cliffhanger ending where a character appears to be in serious jeopardy only for him to come out unscathed at the beginning of the next episode with no explanation. Yes, it's lazy and cheap. I guess they felt ending the episode with the shot of Jaime sinking to the bottom was worth it. They can get away with it because they know that people won't remember nor focus on the beginning of the episode as much as the rest of the episode.

 

[Lights Out 101]

The show is Godly. Season 7 might seem like a step down writing wise but it's still far better than anything else out on TV. Season 6 is my favorite season so far.

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

Enjoy.
I wish i could watch it all over again like it was the first time.

I know this word is thrown around lightly on sherdog but it is the GOAT tv show.

 

[BayAreaGuy]

If you all want a similar show, try Black Sails.

Better writing and acting.

 

[Lethal]

Great show. I was on the fence about it but I've been hooked ever since I started it. Read the first 3 books as well.

Season 7 was a decline from the previous Seasons, but I still think it's the best show on TV.

@TeTe hurry the fuck up already. Start watching.
