i dropped the walking dead, i agree completely with opeth about it. not that particular episode but in general but the series itself is madly inconsistent and frustrating i'm in s3 of boardwalk empire now though, really good show. Edited by truth, Mar 18 2014, 03:00 PM.

It could be due to my lack of interest in those characters that resulted in little reaction. It could have also been because I found some of that writing to really exaggerated for shock value to the point that it was more fictitious/superficial. I imagine if it seemed more realistic, I'd maybe care more. I can't think of too much right now, but some of the episodes with The Governor had, in my opinion, more of a dark side than this recent episode. For instance, him keeping his zombie daughter locked up in a closet where he talked to her and gave her attention (with a fish tank of heads right next to him, but that was maybe kind of lols too). Also, one episode made it seem like The Governor was about to rape Maggie., which wasn't pleasant. I'm sure there are other things though. And that episode had a strong soap opera feel to it. Ugh.

Spoiler: click to toggle Everyone simply has different interests and opinions. I'm a fan of TWD and GoT, but honestly, I don't see how everyone claims GoT is the greatest show on television. Very predictable storyline with too much dialogue. The only time serious shit actually goes down is episode 9 of every season. In response to your last bit, Spoiler: click to toggle

GoT is so good because of its meticulous storytelling. A show doesn't need shit to happen in every episode in order to be good. But in TWDs case the plot developed really slow in s2/3. I'm mad at myself for watching that show as long as I did tbh.

I stopped watching twd about that time. Forget if it was the end of season 2 or the early ones in season 3. The show just blows, especially in comparison to what it is based on. |

Because I like the acting and wanted to see why everyone liked it so much. Jersey Shore? Really? I never said that's all I think the show is about. |

Because its mainstream. I wonder the same thing about Big Bang Theory, HIMYM and when it did air.. Jersey Shore was the only thing anyone ever talked about. Something that a large number of people like isn't necessarily good. Edited by truth, Mar 18 2014, 08:58 PM.

It's not necessarily bad either, which you just implied because it's "mainstream" |

@ Skyson-> I like that idea about The Walking Dead. I bet you're right. Truth might have a point though about it being mainstream. That's somewhat the reason I think some shows are inaccurately rated. A generally intelligent group might have a stronger tendency to rate something based off of logic, and thus might give a great show 4 stars, while tons of over-emotional noobs incapable of thought might just instantly throw fives around. Not everybody has strong values (and I mean great writing, cast, creativity, etc..). You can see this as an example in popular music. Disregarding attention span, do you ever hear Dream Theater on the radio? Aesop Rock? People love shitty things for some reason. e* and yeah, shitty relative to the things i appreciate. bougy bougy pretentious stuck up condescending blabla Edited by Opeth, Mar 18 2014, 09:17 PM.

I'm just saying that assuming something is bad because of it's popularity is unfair. |

I never said that, I was just saying that if something is popular doesn't mean its necessarily good. Another thing too is that The Walking Dead is on AMC which is a lot more accessible than HBO. Here we get AMC with our cable plan, we have to pay an extra $8/mth for HBO which is why Game of Thrones is the most pirated show. It'll probably get cut down this season cause of HBO go even though its not available in Canada yet. |

This review on imdb by someone pretty much sums up every reason I dislike this show fairly eloquently.

Game of thrones appeals to people who like Lord of the Rings and similar fantasy books. Do you like LoTR? If not I can understand why you wouldn't enjoy GoT. Thing is books like LoTR tend to have endings where the protagonist wins in the end after overwhelming odds and many challenges. Realistically the underdog rarely wins the NCAA tourney and so GoT is appealing because it is more realistic of that setting. GoT is about power and what it does to people and how it can be used. If you read the books you would understand a bit more because you could read what the characters are thinking/reasoning behind their actions. If you just watch for mindless violence and the sex scenes I can see why it wouldn't be your thing. edit: Btw Game of thrones is a 9.5 on IMDB while TWD is 8.7. Not that ratings like those are really indicative but if you were using one, even that system points to GoT being > TWD. Edited by Erosion, Mar 19 2014, 02:42 PM.

no doubt GoT > TWD. Im surprised the difference in rating is that little. soREyy Skyson I watch both TWD and GoT but TWD's story is kinda shitty as fuck and no where near when compared to GoT. People would rather watch gossip with hot chicks than watch people slashing zombies' heads off. margeary was soooo hot omg. wire is pretty good too but i haven't watched much of it. Sherlock was quite nice as well but they come out with like 3 episode seasons every 4 yrs so u lose interest in the big gap. Edited by vo0, Mar 19 2014, 02:46 PM.
