When you try to explain Game of Thrones..

Haha, that was fun. :-D :-D

I usually explain the general setting and the multiple point-of-view approach, and how the narrators are unreliable... and the high quality of writing and how this is not a usual fantasy thing so it's acceptable for non-fantasy fans. Seems to be working. :-)

And ahem, that was me explaining ASoIAF, not GoT, eh? Right.
 
First off, he's totally lying, it took him 3:10 -- not 2 minutes as advertised in the video title :p ... but to be totally fair, I really only made it through the first 15 seconds of his monologue. I never try to explain GOT to anyone, I insist they spend the endless hours actually reading the books, ha, ha :D
 
Ha! :)

I haven't read the books. DH bought the first season of the series and has most of the other seasons recorded. I'm scared to even watch it though. I don't do well with tons of violence. Although for some reason I can handle The Walking Dead. Well, I do close my eyes some. I stopped watching The Vikings in the second season because I got tired of all the violence. I didn't make it past the 3rd episode of Breaking Bad. I don't do well with dissolving bodies or cutting them up. Unless it's a zombie and I guess that I can handle (with my eyes shut).

Anyway, still trying to decide about watching GoT. ;)
 
i couldn't watch it becuase i'm only on book 2!!! his writing is so phenomenal though. there are some patches where i have to read the same paragraph a few times to get it to sink in, but for the most part, he's totally got me captured with his writing style

I hate violence. I never even watch detective stories... I never knew what I was in for when I started reading ASOIAF, but the writing is SO good that I decided I don't mind the violence - or rather, I tolerate it because it's never violence for violence's sake. I'm not sure if I can say the same thing about the show adaptation (I know a lot about it even though I never watched) - so I don't watch it. It's a pity because the production and actor choice are so good, but still. I won't risk it. My guess is it's not a show for you, either...
