Game of Thrones

If you haven't seen it, pick up the first season of Spartacus before buying GOT IMO. Just the first season, rest not so good.

Luckily, Spartacus just came on Netflix, and I just started watching that.

I also enjoyed Marco Polo on Netflix, which some have compared to GOT.

Dasein, I agree about Spartacus' first season being very good. Great mix of action, drama, politics etcetera and really a show for MEN!

I enjoyed Marco Polo as well, Taiyuu.

But none of those shows, Game of Thrones included, is worth $30 per season. There is only one show in history that I would ever recommend buying: The Wire. Best show ever, period.

I've watched a lot of great shows like 24, The Sopranos, House of Cards, Dexter, Homeland, Breaking Bad etc. That last one comes close but really none of them can compare to The Wire.

The wire was a sick show....

John Snow and Tyrian lanister are really the only two reasons I watch the show now.

First guy banged a clingy, bossy, BPD and then spent the entire season trying to get away from her while she tried to kill him (Realistic). Second guy bangs prostitute, falls in love with her and she betrays him (Realistic). Also I like how they portray that one b1tch who was trying to bang Geoffrey as a power hungry gold digger (also Realistic). And finally Jamie Lanister pounding out his uber hot sister because with a sister like that... who wouldn't?

Kaliesy the Dragon Queen... eh... she's an alpha widow. The show is pretty spot on about relationship dynamics, the author must had his share of drama and relationships and has a better insight into most women then the average guy. I mean, you think the Dragon Queen and the Knight would end up together (as per Disneyland hollywood fantasy) but then you get to see true female nature when she picks the good looking bad boy over the b1tch ass one-itis orbiting knight.


I think the reason that most people are into this show is that its one of the rare shows on TV that portrays American women as they actually are instead of the fantasy that feminists want you to believe in. I've got to give that guy credit, the only TOUGH female in the series is also a border line bulldyke and has never been laid. At least they don't portray her as some dainty little smart ass b1tch who is always making quips and laying down one liners (ala. Star Wars Rebels). The myth of the super hot warrior female is unrealistic as hell and completely ruins TV... the hound was also my favorite character, I really thought a future 'love connection' was inevitable between he and arya stark... oh well.

It is the most realistic show, where evil wins must of the time. This show is not afraid to kill off a main character. People love this show also because of the behind to scenes scheming that goes on especially with

varys and littlefinger

hell those two have schemed so hard behind the scenes, that those two might end up kings later on in the series

The point where the show jumped the shark was when the Hound was killed by the butch knight.

You do realize that when Brienne fought the Hound, he had an infection, a fever, loss of blood, on top of the fact that he was dying.

Completely unrealistic

How much realism do you except from a show that has ice zombies, witches giving birth to assassin ghost spectres, and dragons in it?

and to see that the Stark girl didn't shed a tear for him ruined things entirely.

Arya is going through a transformation and is being harden by her life experiences. When she found out that her auntie was dead, she laughed her ass off.

^
she only laughed, for the fact everytime she went somewhere, where she was about to be saved by a family member

she found out that some army or some king slaughtered the family.


Arya also didn't shed a tear for the hound because, the hound was actually one of the people on her list that she wanted killed, the hound had killed one of her best friends in the first season

Well that would explain things then.

I dunno I meet lots of girls like that in real life.

That's right, I forgot about that. That was quite brutal, glad that little prick ended up getting poisoned and I'm really glad that he was played by an EXCELLENT actor. That kid must have known some spoiled sh1t bag in real life because he was able to pull it off flawlessly. Despite hating the character because he was evil, I really enjoyed seeing the acting, spot on.

One person I was hoping to see a bit more of was the king's son who was a blacksmith, what ended up happening to him, anyone read the books? Also the mage that kills 3 people for Arya, do we see him again. As for the kid with broken legs, I find his story particularly boring, I'm hoping the dryad can make it a bit better... his story is as slow paced as the lord of the rings.

The show for sure, doesn't have any problems showing the harshness of medieval times but rarely do you see a woman or young woman slaughtered, usually its a guy. Oh btw what happened to the Stark traitor... I can't recalll his name, the guy with the **** that was cut off who got brainwashed?

Any spoilers? I'm hoping to see more of Tyrian and Jon Snow, couldn't care less about the crows though.

the blacksmith king son escaped the red witch, and he joined the group of bandit guys who saved arya.

The mage dude said he will come back if arya ever gets in a tough spot.
