Why are people so obsessed with the show Game of Thrones?

[LastPoet]

Dragons? Haha. What's next a ring that controls them all? Or the teenage wizard thatr is shy?

Well, its entertaining at best.

One word. Weaners.

Two words:

SOUTH PARK!

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Nude blondes.

[Edwardo Piet]

Flesh light.

I saw one clip that made me certain I'd never watch it. Some guy is chained to a wall and another guy is waving the first guy's penis around like a trophy. Enough.

The guy is just waving around a sausage..he's actually eating it in that scene, not a penis. Mocking the guy chained up.

I really don't understand what's so great about it. I constantly hear people talking about it. Then, then when they find out I don't watch it they act like I live under a rock. I honestly prefer shows like Family Guy, American Dad and other stuff of that genre. But that is just me. However, I don't think there is something wrong with someone when they call those shows stupid. (Sure, I tend to think perhaps they either A don't have a sense of humor or are easily offended. I am not the one to judge though. Then again, my favorite movies are kind of weird too. I love Pirates of the Carribbean and Godzilla (Yes, everything from the 50s and every other monsterverse film. Kajuis, Kong and so on). But again, I don't judge people for not liking them. Or at least I try not too. haha

It is easily the best TV programme made yet. The best plot the best acted etc, etc . It has the best villains as well as the best heroes the pathos is the best pathos and it remains unpredictable, even in series seven, it continues to surprise and impossibly, to improve.

I'm a fan.

Tyrion is my favourite.

So what you're saying is that it's DS9 in castles?

[Puke Skywalker]

It's good storytelling, good characters, and not very predictable plot lines.

I never thought I'd like it. I figured it was that one with the dragons and the undead and the gratuitous sex and violence. And then I watched it a while and found how much I liked the characters and the writing.

And there's genuine fear when your favorites get into a bind. As much as I like James Bond, what are the odds that 007 won't survive the next Bond movie? It's an entirely different feeling with GoT characters.

I remember when they shoved James into a coffin and stuck him in crematorium. Flames completely around him. Excited? No. Just thought, "Okay, James, let's see you get out of this one."

I watched the first episode 6-7 years ago, thought it was stupid and never looked in again.
