    All I know about GoT is that the delightful star of Last Christmas was a main character who had dragons and questionable naked scenes and I guess a terrible end to her story?

    Idk; I’m content primarily thinking of her as Kate from Last Christmas. (I got a faux leopard coat just so I could cosplay as her for a Christmas-movies-themed work staff party last month.)

    All of the naked scenes are questionable. The last episode I watched literally had two different sex scenes back to back, the women always fully nude and the men often obscured.

    Someone I thought I could trust said that Game of Thrones was better than The Sopranos until the final season and I am going to have to really re-assess his opinions on everything.

    Oh. Oh no. I love it but no. In terms of its genre it's second to none but it is also deeply flawed. Even moreso if you read the books and are aware of the changes the showrunners chose to make.

    It reminds me a lot of an early HBO show called Rome. Political drama with a lot of trashy sex and violence.

    I am enjoying Game of Thrones better than the other shows I am watching right now, but it isn't on that upper shelf like The Sopranos or Mad Men or Deadwood or most recently Succession.

    Yeah I heard it compared to Rome a lot. A few of the same actors too I believe.

    It takes me soooo many episodes to start recognizing characters in shows. If there are like four women with the same hair color I'm not gonna know who is who. I give characters my own nicknames that can sometimes last multiple seasons until I learn their names.

  19. Remember like five or so years ago when Sam Rockwell made the “you’ve seen in me in everything but you don’t know who I am” phenomenon his entire deal

  21. Rome was the most expensive show ever for a while I think, they put a lot of work into the sets and costumes

    Rome is such a bizarre show. The first season and the the first half of the second are about a brief moment of time but then they found out they were getting canceled and they cram in a decade-plus of history in a handful of episodes.

    Rome does actually look like Rome, though. It is very obvious when they are on sets in Game of Thrones.

    run away with me Platinum

    it's so fun to not bother to learn a character's name and just call them by the actor's name
