It is an okay show. Walking dead is the terrible show everyone likes. Zombie fighting ninjas.

I wouldn't call reading the books dumb but series books are basically just money making exercises. If you are going to commit time to a large piece if fiction, you could find better things to read. Especially since the whole thing is being made into a tv show.

He couldn't get it up with that hottie? Are you fucking kidding me?!

Tyrion is the only person in this show with any brain. That guy is awesome!

Also Theon's sister is hot

Who cares?

It's mindless entertainment. Not high literature.

Critiquing fantasy-genre entertainment from the perspective of an arts/literature expert
is like a veteran critiquing the realism and tactical authenticity of Battlefield or Call of Duty games.

i'm just pointing out that obvious difference. eleven b is complaining this is just rewritten historical allegory. i'm saying that's par for the course for fantasy, where it's often more about elf titties than about compelling narrative. if you enjoy that sort of dross, that's your taste and prerogative.

I can deal with a movie or TV-show being mindless entertainment, but i never viewed books that way.
I've read my fair share of thrillers and other action packed turds slapped between two covers and believe me, you simply can't handle that as a simple movie.
I don;t know about you, but my standards are quite a bit higher when it comes to reading, because you really have to commit to it for several hours. you can't properly read a book whilst devoting only 50% of your brain capacity to it, you can with a movie or show like game of thrones.

I love the TV-show, no argument there, but I would never read the books. fantasy is just one big no-no for me as far as reading goes.

i scorn and look down on everyone i see on the london underground reading these mass-market 'fashionable' fictions. guys in suits. business-men. women and mothers. people from all across the spectrum of middle-class professional working life reading some fantasy-hit, just because it's the "in-thing" being discussed around the water-cooler at the office. people who read these books are fucking idiots.

You're such a condescending prick if you're serious Uzique. Who are you to say what is quality entertainment? Each person has individual tastes. Some may absolutely love the Game of Thrones books while they hate the show and vice versa.

Who are you to judge what literature is shit or not? The only thing you can do that to is the grammatical side of things if there are errors or if it is poorly written for comprehension. The story itself is not up for you to judge as far as others go. You can't say a person is an idiot because they like it. That's just a douchy character trait.

LOL you are a fucking idiot.

but who are you to decide whether or not other christian's interpretation and opinion of the bible is right or wrong? all you can do is check for comma splices and proper subordinate clauses! looks like you just ruined your own life, you dumb shit.

You do a fair impression of Bret Easton Ellis' writing style there

easton ellis would have two paragraphs detailing the brands of said-business suits and the shops where the women have been shopping, sporting the twill-handled bags and the designer babywear of their kids. my point is that people that don't care about fantasy or any sort of genre-fiction read this because it's on the british equivalent of the oprah book club. the oprah book club should be classed as a crime against humanity. it's sheepism of the worst sort, masquerading as slightly middle-brow (because of course, in today's insta-everything world of dominant low culture, even by virtue of reading a book you are a high-brow intellectual). call me an asshat if you want, but i do feel sorry for these people that have their tastes dictated to them by what their co-worker is reading. people who feel they have to participate in these mass orgies of reading and spectation in order to be a valid part of their social milieu. it's very strange. then again i've never had that relationship to literature, literature qua fashion accessory.

I agree with the sentiment.

But judging everyone by their standards of music, literature, and entertainment at every conceivable interval.. gets to sounding a bit shrill after a while.

Let it go.
World's full of "mongs", idiots, and general walking refuse.
Fuck 'em.
World's always been that way.
Railing about it is a waste of energy.
