I'm just not sure I'll like it. I'm not a big fan of fantasy. -- nm

That's completely understandable, but I would maintain that Walking Dead is fantasy, and lowest common denominator at that. - David Mar 25, 07:56 9
- You mention The West Wing just because you know it'll get me interested. You bastard! - Krusty Mar 25, 08:00 8
  - Both shows are predicated upon the running of a kingdom and attempts to gain/sustain power. -- nm - David Mar 25, 08:01 2
    - and don't get me wrong, GofT is probably #2 on my list of favorite shows. - groiny Mar 25, 08:05 1
      - I do as well. That's what makes TWD so frustrating. - David Mar 25, 08:08
  - I love GofT, but I am more invested in TWD. - groiny Mar 25, 08:01 4
    - The only real character on TWD is Carole. - David Mar 25, 08:03 3
      - how can you not say Rick???? -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 08:04 2
        
        He's the specific reason the show fails for me. - David Mar 25, 08:05 1
        
        so, to you, he is not perfect? -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 08:06
It's like Willow trying to be serious. Effin stoopid -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:56 2
- Oof. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 08:03 1
  - that was kind of harsh :) -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 08:05
Overall, calling GoT 'fantasy' is a bit of a stretch. I get that it is, but if you like sword and shield stuff, you should like it. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:55 1
- I can take it or leave the sword and shield stories. I don't usually go for them but there's so much love for this show it's hard to ignore. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 08:01
It definitely goes well beyond the fantasy genre...and the more fantastical elements really don't come into play until later. - prayformojo Mar 25, 07:55 8
- With one exception, which is that the show starts with a mystical creature. - David Mar 25, 07:57 7
  - what season was the spoils..... - groiny Mar 25, 07:57 6
    - That's when I stopped watching. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:59 4
      - it was a moment when I considered it as well. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:59
      - I actually agree that the sequence is disruptive, but it was a one-off thing. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:59 2
        
        I think you may be spot on with the character development. I mean, it has good story lines, but it's just not my cup of tea. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 08:03 1
        
        I really get that. Kim quit after a few episodes, and I had to beg her to try it again. - David Mar 25, 08:04
    - 2. That's the next one that I can recall. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:58
You won't like it. You will *love* it. -- nm - Jovian Mar 25, 07:55
