Should I Be Watching Game Of Thrones?
 

Worth it?

It's fantastic.

Best production ever made for television. :2 cents:



.

Very good. But watch it from the very start, Invest in it, its worth it. Dont just start from the new series as it wont make sense :)

Best show ever :-)

Agreed. If you don't start from the beginning you won't know what the hell is going on.

Everyone I know who's watched it loves it, my father tried to resist, took a couple of years, then he gave in, binged on the whole thing within a couple of weeks, got withdrawal symptoms when it ended.

They keep telling me I should watch it too

another thing in my to-do list

what if you're not into mythological stuff..is it still worth it?

I'd stay away from myths as much as possible :2 cents: ...

yes. im usually not into all that shit at all but that show is good

I tried 2 episodes, couldnt watch anymore.

Keep in mind the first season is just setting the table for the entire series. So while there is some cool stuff that happens, and a couple of OMG moments near the end -- it's not super action packed or anything. But it gets progressively better each season until it's just batshit insane with tons of great writing, great acting and some jaw dropping visuals that you can't believe are made for TV.

if there's any show that's worth investing some time in, I would say Game of Thrones.

yeah, its not really dungeons and dragons and shit. There is a bit of mythical stuff going on obviously but it is more character driven instead. Too many good strong characters to list even.

I avoided it at first too, didn't like the first few episodes at all but it really shows you something and just gets better.

Don't start watching it until they finished filming it all.

I think there should be 8 seasons total. Wait until all 8 are available, otherwise you're gonna get blue-balled waiting 1.5 years for the series to finish. And each episode is a fucking cliffhanger.

Watch Vikings while you wait. You can stop at Season 4.

Yes, like the tittle says it's much about court intrigues, conspiracies and assassinations. Plus good battle scenes, sex and blood. Hey, they even don't shy to show people's genitals for a reason and without. Don't forget it's not a Brazzers video, it's a family TV show...

Go ahead and watch it, worth the time. :2 cents:

who would of thought all along he was saying "hold the door"

its a great show for spotting english pornstars the best one i saw was Masie Dee, when joffery ordered the other prostitute to cain her but with the big mace

I remember the first time I attempted to watch it, I made it two episodes and binned it, it was too slow for me. To this day I am still not quite sure what I was thinking. Second time around my wife and I couldn't stop watching. We started watching when there was 3 full seasons and I think we caught up in about 2 weeks. One of the best shows I ever watched.

Yes, I would highly recommend watching Game of Thrones. I enjoyed the show so much that I decided to read the books as well, and I'm not a reader.

Yes this is what I am thinking of doing. :) Then I can fast forward through all the rape and prostitute caining scenes (I'm squeamish about that kind of stuff).

Probably the best show ever produced.

You need an attention span and a brain to watch though, most GFY'ers don't

Best thing ever!

Hmmmmmmmmm..

Normally I wouldn't watch this kind of thing. However, I was convinced to try and watched it all and am looking forward to the upcoming series.

I'd agree it'd make much more sense if you watched the previous series in advance.

Amazing show. But you will need to watch when you got an hour or more completely free of distractions. There is a lot going on, and you will get lost if trying to watch with distractions.

There isn't that much of it, actually. I think it was used in a couple of episodes for shock value.

Most of the series is power games between various characters and war (fighting).

I made the mistake of having started to watch The Walking Dead and Games of Throne before they had finished filming.

From now on i just watch finished shows, without having to wait years between episodes.

Where are my dragons!?
 

Yeah I got into The Walking Dead just over a year ago so had to do a marathon to catch up. While I still like the show (and think Maggie is insanely hot) it creeps me the fuck out. LOL I can only take so much tension. It's the violence towards other people that turns me off. I like killing zombies!

But if Game Of Thrones is more like Lord Of The Rings in terms of fighting and killing then I'm fine with that. :thumbsup

I once chased a dragon but that was in a drug house in Chelsea. :D

I resisted for a long time and basically watched all the seasons like insane binge within weeks. Like that cause then everything is still fresh in your head instead of being years old. Should have paced it slower I guess as now been waiting a long time for new ones.

what if you don't like movies taking place in that time period? Does anyone who watches it (and likes it) has the same, that movies taking place in medieval times just don't interest you and just never entertain you? That's why i always avoid them now.
And once i heard about that dragon stuff it put me off even more.

What's wrong with dragons? LOL :)

now here's an interesting topic...I never got the chance to start...but everyone told me it's an amazing series...okk I'll give it a try

everything :1orglaugh i can't stand fantasy movies, been that way pretty much always. Knowing that though i still tried to watch lord of the rings, due to who directed it mainly and the huge, huge hype around it at the time. I thought "even i gotta enjoy it at least a little bit".

Lets just say it was a great reminder that i don't enjoy that genre at all.

GoT is more about medieval-like realms than pure fantasy like LoTR

OK so The Hobbit for you then. Got it. :)
