re: OT: Game of Thrones

Doctor Who is awesome. If you had to put it into a genre it'd be action/adventure. It can be funny, but it's not a comedy. It's both silly and serious. I guess you could say it takes its silliness seriously.

If you're not up for suspending many levels of reality, then it's not the show for you. You have to be able to accept that this guy has a Police Box that's bigger on the inside and can travel through time. After that, just accept that anything is possible and be prepared to roll with it. It can be slow and a bit cheap at times, but the payoffs for sticking with it are so worth it.

I love the show, but know it's not for everyone. My wife just can't get past the silliness of some of it. It is what it is.



Game of Thrones is awesome, though. I don't know how you can not like it. Calling it "porn for nerds" is a bit much. The nudity isn't overwhelming, IMO, and the story and drama are 10x better than anything else currently running on American TV.

I do see how well GoT has done, along with other huge Sci-Fi and fantasy shows , and want to burn Fox to the ground for fricking up Firefly.
