No Right Answer: Is Game of Thrones Overrated?

[Samastic]

well, this show is a steaming pile of WHATS THE POINT

Ok... I'm probably going to be roasted alive for this but I have to speak my mind,

I'm 100% with Chris Game of thrones as a show SUCKS

I watched the first few episodes and nothing made any sense and from what ive heard from people that actually watched all 3, they basically tell me it makes no sense

Look, to me, the only reason the show exists is to give an excuse to have women show their breasts

All I see is some guy talking about something that makes no sense while to women go at it in the background...

The only reason this show is popular and it gets defended so much is because its pretty much hardcore porn that people can pretend is "Art"

Look I know i'm going to be flamed alive by all the fans of the show, and honestly whatever if you enjoy it, who am I to stop you from enjoying something you like?

Just don't tell me that the show is well written and has deep lore behind it and I should love it just as much as you do, because I don't see it anywhere, maybe I'm missing something, but I honestly don't want to sit through pornography that I find to be disgusting at times (father and daughter *shudder*) just to try to figure out what is going on

Edit: Overrated = Thing that I don't like, even if most people do.
You can't deny it. Calling something overrated implies the subconscious knowledge of being a minority, with the smug self-complacence of those critics who would critize their mother if she ever appeared on the top sales lists.

Breaks done and rebuts some of the complaints and explains them and shows how its a good story.

Buuuuuut also points out how you can rapidly sour on it, especially the longer it draws out.

You were not quite understandible at the latter half, when you started ranting really fast in a weird tone.
So I couldn't make that out. I like the show, but I never have bothered convincing people to also like stuff I like except for the friends I want to enjoy it with.

Why 2 months? Then we're at the very end but not quite of S4...

The two months is because we film in batches. We just started a batch, so we have a lot of episodes to go through before we film again. Since Chris lives 4 hours away from Kyle and Dan, batch filming is a necessity.

Also, it gives people who choose to send video clips time to create them. Visit is hard! (Dan cries into his jack and coke)

Oh I see. Thanks for the answer!
You guys often answers things in the forum; muchos gracias, amigos!

II await the remainder of this thread with baited breath. I've really gotten into coming on the internet to read the thoughts of people getting genuinely emotional in their defence of things they like, or what they feel is a misinterpretation of something they like.

Honestly It's not that people don't have the right to not like a show. When they take the time to make a video about it, filled with lazy armchair criticism and fairly baseless accusations about the show, I get a little miffed.

This guy doesn't even understand the basic plot of the show.

And?

I don't understand the basics plot of Geordie Shore (Well, I think I do - I think it's premise is "A bunch of glow-in-the-dark-orange people shagging"), it doesn't mean I can't make a video about how shit it is (I haven't, and wouldn't, but I totally could if I wanted).

Don't get me wrong, you're well within your rights to get uppity about said video, just know that there are cynical, acerbic people like me out there who find that to be highly amusing.

Seems like we both came here for the debate, stayed for the drama. And the Geordie Shore crack; spot on.

I'd say I'm probably more on Chris' side since I can't get into the show in spite of having friends attempt to constantly ram it down my throat.

I have zero intention of arguing whether the show is " good " / defending it as it is just porn with filler. It's a bad show with good sex scenes. I can get porn anywhere on the internet thus giving me less reason to watch it. Past this I have nothing more to add because I don't believe you can add anything more to the argument.
