Breaking Bad v Game Of Thrones

If I want porn, I find porn. I don't need it seeping into the mainstream as it has with Game Of Thrones. It is OTT.

I think lots of people share this view.

This is worth a look as it pokes fun at the fact that it is all a bit daft and unnecessary..

Comparing mild nude scenes to porn? Again ................

Us lot up north do apologise we are not on you're level Snelly. you obviously a higher breed of human. :rofl::rofl:
 
You're entitled to your opinion, even if that opinion is wrong :rolleyes:

You're probably right though, sex and violence will never catch on...


I think you've hit the nail on the head there.

I will rephrase my opinion........... Game of Thrones is rubbish. So are the books. Game of Thrones fans are thick .

Hopefully that removes any confusion.

Of course another viewpoint could be that people who think Game Of Thrones is rubbish are thick

I am in the middle of BB and I think it is terrific. A snappy main plot but lots of interesting subplots and well written characters.

Watched a few GOT but didn't really get it and gave up.

Dexter isn't as good as BB but still pretty good.
 
watched all (so far) of both. liked both, but probably prefer GOT.

excessive nudity is a valid criticism but either there is less in series 2 and 3 or I became desensitized to it.
 
@philthefragger. Relative to your clumsy editing...


So it is okay to talk about Hodor's member but not Hodor's dick?

Thick rhymes with dick which made the sentence more prosaic and you have not only ruined it but failed to substitute it with a suitably acceptable alternative, rendering the post incomprehensible. Is dick a banned word?

Suitable Alternatives: Is Hodor's John Thomas okay? Whang? Love Truncheon? Purple Python? Beef Whistle? Excalibur? Lap Rocket? Wonder Weasel? Schlong? Thunderbird 3? Fragger would probably do too as that sounds vaguely penile.

Can we have some clarification please? When you decide which synonym is best, please re-edit my post to restore clarity of meaning. Thanks.

Bums and boobies aside, i would honestly argue that any of the violence in Game of thrones is OTT or gratuitous.

When deaths occur, they are grizzly, brutal and sometimes hard to watch. Not because of the gallons of blood on screen, but because they are honest and shocking.

If you want to see what adolescent, contrived, gory violence and sex is really like, watch Spartacus. Its like it was made for 13 year olds

Looking forward to BB but based on my experience GOT is staggeringly good.

Up there with The Wire and Sopranos for me.

I am currently watching Deadwood and i tell you what. Its a stonker, Fantastic television.

Makes you feel the lingering uncertainty of life in the Old West and the characters is brilliant. Ian McShane at his absolute peak
 
Just finished Breaking Bad, have to say it is fantastic TV.

Have seen GOT too but think BB is better both great tv though.

On a different genre the IT crowd is fantastic comedy writing
 
Well, interesting and varied responses...

For the record, I have seen all of Breaking Bad and loved it. All of it. Yes, it can be slow but that's the whole point: it's a thing of beauty to be treasured. The finale, and the lead-up to it, was wonderful.

Game Of Thrones: there's been some fierce debate in this thread re its nudity/violence. IMHO that's a curved ball. It's an HBO series so it is going to push the boundaries and from what I can gather the books are far more explicit. If you don't like tits and blood, then don't watch it. Certainly it is a thing of beauty to look at, fantastic sets etc. We are on season 1 episode 2 and will stick it out as any decent series takes its time to reel you in.

Dexter/The Wire/Sopranos et al: lots of polarised opinion and comments on these but surely that's what we should expect? If we all liked the same stuff, life would be dull and this forum would be irrelevant.

Final thoughts: I will give GOT a chance and will watch at least season 1. As for Breaking Bad: if you think it is too slow, then don't watch it. Don't listen to those who say it's great. Plough your own furrow.
