"Game of Thrones" may get a bad reputation for the gore and sexuality, but the storylines, production, and acting are superb, which is more than can be said for most of the viewing choices in an era when Honey Boo Boo is on The Learning Channel.


Yeah I'm sure you really enjoyed watching "As The World Turns" back in the golden years of the 1950's and 60's. Nice comparison I suppose but maybe you could have chosen something that started in this era. I think the Evil Queen plays her role well.

I never said Game of Thrones had a bad reputation and in fact I watch and absolutely love the series. I was just implying that there is no way every other show will be as good as Game of Thrones but you have to take what you can get especially in this day and age. Not watching something simply because it seems childish at first or some other random adjective is exactly how a great series goes undiscovered until it is cancelled.

However season 1 is kinda boring, atleast the our world part, I even wanted to drop at some point, but later plot is getting much better.


I agree on both points. I too found the first season a bit dry at times but it does pick up eventually especially when
Magic is finally brought to the real world.


Lost Girl and Atlantis are a couple of other shows I've watched and enjoyed before as well. Atlantis is fairly new.

I can get this choice, but i didn't watch much beyond the first two seasons due to time shortage :)
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

I suppose when you're a member of the lowest common denominator, anything with shiny special effects will hold your attention. And to address your piss-poor "You're so old" insult, I was born in 1985, so try again. Or maybe don't get so offended when someone disagrees with your opinion. It's just television. And frankly, people like you who take whatever they give you and rave about how wonderful it is are the reason so much garbage gets broadcast. Enjoy your deeper development of Disney characters. I'm so sorry I questioned it.

There was nothing angry or insulting about what I said or how I stated it so I don't see why you've got your panties in a bunch all of the sudden. I wasn't calling you old, in fact I was implying that obviously you were not even born yet when that show started, neither was I. Your comparison was simply pointless because you missed the entire idea behind what I was saying.

You're trying to compare good with amazing, I am merely trying to point out the positives about a show I enjoy.

If anyone is a member of the lowest common denominator, it would be your overreacting ass.

Implying something isn't outright stating it, young one. The way you worded your response was very *****, much like this last one was. Either you're really bad at expressing yourself properly, or you're just confrontational by nature. Either way, the only thing you said that I was responding to was the description of "Salem" from IMDB, my opinions about that show you like and "Game Of Thrones" were simply my addition to the general conversation. You're the one who got his panties twisted over my tongue-in-cheek critique of "Once Upon a Time," and I simply answered your ***** with a dose of my own. Obviously, you're one of those who can only dish it out, so allow me to apologize. Your television viewing choices are top-notch, and you're an excellent communicator. Chin up, kiddo. ;)

You're right. Sorry for assuming you had a brain capable of correctly reading between the lines.

There's two scenarios here; Either I'm bad at expressing my self effectively via the written word (which sometimes is true), or you're just overreacting.

Either way, the only thing you said that I was responding to was the description of "Salem" from IMDB


what?

You're the one who got his panties twisted over my tongue-in-cheek critique of "Once Upon a Time," and I simply answered your ***** with a dose of my own.

"A ***** response" aka your feelings were hurt because you thought I was being mean to you when in reality the only one that sounds angry is you.

Nice breakdown, that critical thinking of yours totally absolves you of any responsibility in the matter. My mistake. ;)

Thanks HouseLaLaurie for being so reasonable, you certainly come across as a calm and open-minded individual. I'm glad this could be resolved.
