Ormond Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What a load off shiteI enjoyed the first series but after Sean Bean was taken out the second series was pish. I gave up half way through that series. Her indoors watches it solid still. But then most over here are obsessed with fantasy crap. I think they really believe that Europe is like that. Castles, swords, tarts and hunks. Stupid c,unts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really been a fan off all that fantasy pish though.Much prefer a Rab C or Still Game box set or a Berlin Wall/WWII documentary if I'm feeling clever Edited April 20, 2015 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Never been a fan of all that Scottish class obsessed comedy pish. Agreed. For me Rab C is one of the worst things produced for Scottish TV in a very long time. Although that might be in part down to my overwhelming urge to hurl expletives at the screen every time Elaine C Smith's smug coupon makes an appearance!

SMcoolJ Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hard to give anything a real critique after one or two episodes. I watched a couple of episodes of Rab C years ago and thought it was the biggest pile of horsesh1t I'd ever had the misfortune to have come across. I wasn't really sure about Game of Thrones to start with and I'm certainly not into "Fantasy p1sh" either. However, the more you watch it the more you realise there's quite a lot to it. It's more political than I would have imagined. A medieval West Wing....(with b00bs) if you will. I like it - suggest you give it a proper chance (and no, the quid pro quo is not me watching Rab C - that just isn't happening). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peever1745 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 game of Thrones is one of the best dramas thats been on telly for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Considering the whole game of thrones is set about the skeleton of the war of the roses, and apart from 3 dragons which don't appear till the end of the first series, it's hardly a massive fantasy setting. It's basically a war of the roses period drama with one character who is on another continent who just happens to have 3 dragons. Plus the others of course, but they don't turn up till book 3 , and the prologue of the first book i guess. It's hardly middle earth or Azeroth.

Throw in the White Walkers and Melisandre and it becomes a bit more Fantasy. Oh, and the giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Throw in the White Walkers and Melisandre and it becomes a bit more Fantasy. Oh, and the giants. "the others" are the whitewalkers, they've taken out the "Warg" storyline as well. Sure some giants a couple of dragons and some mysticism. However the story is the war of the roses pretty much, the point wasn;t it had no fantasy in it, the point was it was basically a period drama set around the war of the roses with dragons and others are the periphery both plot-wise and geographically. As opposed to say a wizard coming looking for a magic ring that turns you invisible while 9 wraiths on magic horses look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow get the feeling you are possibly comparing GOT to the war of the roses? Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well it's more a fact than a comparison, Martin has spoken about it loads of times, the original story didn't even have dragons in it. The first edition foreword was thanking a friend for persuading him to put Dragons in it. Scott Bakker Prince of nothing triology is based on the first holy crusade.
