It didn't, reread what was said. "illicit sex intrigue". They're not watching it for the titties, that's still guys. They're watching it for the 'sex intrigue', generally the same sort of appeal as when you get women interested in trashy romance novels. Some sort of lame drama stroy telling side of things anyways, one that usually happens to lead to boobies, but isn't done for the sake of them.Micalas said:
Gasp! What are you saying? Toni Morrison's Beloved can't be horror, because it's critically acclaimed! That's why David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest is totally not science fiction, Cormac McCarthy's The Road is totally not a post-apocalyptic story, and Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis is totally not fantasy. Critically acclaimed books can't be genre fiction marketed to a different audience! The very idea!dragonswarrior said:
I love DnD and think GoT is a waste of time after the first three books, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME, OH NEW YORK TIMES?
Isn't the New York Times lot just really conservative old farts that listen to patriotic true American music while dreaming about hunting, and are faster than neutrino's on dismissing change as something that is even remotely good?
Just me?
Just me?
Down here in Australia GoT is popular with EVERYONE. That and Spartacus are 2 of the most popular shows around atm, so it is clear these reviewers have no idea. They are both full of violence, gore (spartacus), nudity, sex and they have fantastic story lines! GoT was slow to start off with but it got really good towards the end so it is annoying to hear that useless over-opinionated journalists are covering quality TV
I'm a bit disturbed at how many people here find being considered a D&D type an insult.
Why so quick to turn your back on your roots? You Skyrim types are all alike

Seriously, after book 2-3, it's just a bowl of lukewarm porridge.
And what is wrong with Dungens and Dragons guys?
No thier are not dorks, i know many DnD players that you would think never saw a fantasy game in thier life. generalizations like these are idiotic. nerd stereotype does not exist anymore.

Yeah, well, newspapers are a dead medium, anyway. Rather fitting that the guys writing them should be out-of-touch old fogies.
Bugger the NYT.
I've been reading ASoIaF for close to a decade. I love the books, the characters, the world, and GRRM has smashed every other author I've read into the dust.
People can think it's the dumbest, lamest story ever conceived, and their opinion won't be worth a mummer's fart to me.
