My well-meaning (actually that's a lie) friends occasionally think stupid things like "Gripe would like Game of Thrones, because...er...history? (no) Plot? (possibly) Characterization? (debatable)" etc, whilst ignoring the fact that I loathe films with excessive sex, violence or dodgy accents in them.
I suspect the true reason they think I'd like it is because I've been known to watch Lord of the Rings a number of times. What they DON'T know, is that my personally edited version cuts out Frodo, Sam, Blondie (pointy ears), all of the fucking elves, most of the Orc scenes, and is pretty much just Bernard Hill dying on a battlefield over and over again. So.
I also liked Boromir, but he died also. Which isn't a spoiler because Sean Bean dies in every film he's in.
Which brings us back to Game of Thrones.
THIS is the only GOT related thing I like.
MEDIEVAL LAND FUN-TIME WORLD!
