"I am your King, Do something!

I want Death

I want to see some Blood

I want to see some killing!

I want to see some body parts flying around.."

Very doubtful anyone can figure out who I quoted here, but ?

Previous Game of Thrones series had one novel/bizarre/previously unseen graphic method of death in every episode.

Given the state of our culture and entertainment industry, its not a trend they will forsake.

So it’s a feel good show for the whole family 8 to 80?

I read the Game of Thrones books and they were pretty good, stopped reading after 4 or 5 because I was sick of any character you cared about getting killed off. Only watched one of the GOT on HBO and didn’t bother after that. All sex, nudity and raunch.

Actress playing the part of Rhaenyra looks like she could have been in the Flying Monkey Brigade in the Wizard of Oz.

The GOT series became an awful train wreck. Not going to watch a new series.

some even admitted that there were scenes so viscous, they had to look away or watch through their fingers...

I hate scenes with high viscosity.

This is part of a trend I think began with the Sons of Anarchy TV series, a show that was about an outlaw motorcycle gang that naturally also was a criminal enterprise.

In the olden days, quality TV dramas thrived on storyline, dialogue and acting. But come Sweeps Week they’d throw in sex and violence (i.e., the murder of JR) to bump up their ratings.

But series like SOA and GOT got by on steady diet of sex and violence, and they’d throw in a smattering of storyline and acting when their ratings are sagging.

It’s cheaper than hiring A-list actors and script-writers.

And what a piece of schlock GOT was. The “planet” featured in GOT was off-earth and imaginary. So if they were on a planet where there is no England (much less a Yorkshire), how come the most of the characters spoke with a Tyke (Yorkshire) accent?

Because that’s all Sean Bean — a borned Yorkshireman — has. And it would have been odd if the king were the only Yorkie. After all, there’s a reason it’s called “the King’s English.”

I lost interest in the original TV series after season 3. Same with the books, the third book was ok, after that it all became a muddle of seemingly hundreds of characters and locations.

I think George RR Martin got bored with GOT too, he seems more interested in creating toy characters (action figures) and attending fantasy conventions. Can’t blame him really, he’s got umpteen millions in the bank and writing is hard work.

Fans of an x-rated porn series were “shocked” to see this kind of content in a related series?

If you have a good sub in car stereo this will sound amazing.

Once the cultural degradation started in Ernest I the 1960s this sort of thing was predictable.

I stuck it out through all the seasons of GOT, but I am skipping this new one. GOT was often soft-core porn or torture porn. The torture and killing and just plain evil were too much to take. The production design and special effects were quite impressive, but I do not want to return to that world again. Also, now that I am in my mid-sixties, I don't have the patience (or possibly life span) to sit through a multi-season story arc again.

Also, yes the final season of GOT sucked. I don't want to get suckered into another crappy series finale.
