no. you're wrong.

although, its much much safer to cheer against the people you hate, than it is to cheer for the ones you love in these books.

I didn't mean that the content of the books or show cause me to frown due to an emotional impact. I just frown because it's not that good!

I watched season one and probably wont watch any more.


Also I'm going to be honest. I was going to call it "Game of Crowns" in a troll post, and I decided to first google it to see if it was a common joke and the first result was http://www.glitch.com

in all seriousness, can i ask what you guys didnt like about it that turned u off so bad? are u just not into the genre? is it the brother-sister sex? the cannibalism? have u read the books (cuz maybe its just the actors you hate?)? did GRRM kill your dog? was it the absence of elves in a "fantasy" series? too much secret plotting?

truly curious what turned you guys off so badly, open up your heart to me

never seen it, nor heard of it until this morning. I'd probably like it.

My gut instinct is screaming troll posts, at least on Kenvar's behalf. I'm going to side with my gut on this one.

I really hate how unnecessarily verbose and descriptive Martin makes the series. Honestly if you took out all of fluff descriptions you would be left with about 2-3 books with an ok story. But instead Martin forces you through asinine pages describing what a room looks like..bleh.

To be fair, I liked the Dune series, and it is possibly the most verbose, long-winded novel I've ever seen. To me, the sci-fi setting almost requires that though. I don't know what a Atreides Ornithopter looks or sounds like, so a description is rather nice to have. In a fantasy setting though; I don't need a paragraph telling me what a certain castle looked like. I've seen castles/swords/armor, I'll just copypasta one from my memory. In fantasy I'd rather have a distilled story with as little filler as possible. The setting is familiar, my mind can fill in the blanks, I want story.

I haven't watched the show, just because I had read the first 2 books and couldn't put myself through another by the time I had heard about the HBO series. My beef is more with the author and his incessant need to stretch the tiniest mundane detail into a chapter.
