(33,643 posts)25. I bet a lot of you naysayers, if you sat down in the right mood and watched, say ...
The first four episodes, and girded yourself that there would be T&A, and women would be treated as objects a lot of the time (like things were in real-life medieval times) esp. in the early going of the show, and there'd be some gory deaths, and a smattering of non-graphic rapes (most of them are like, a torn shirt and 'no no stop' and maybe a scream, and then you know what happened) ... oh, and two incestuous characters ... and didn't try to judge it with 2019 sensibilities for all the characters ... you'd end up sucked in like the rest of us.
Just sayin, I'm pretty damn discerning with my TV time, I don't watch crap. GoT was a friggin quality show. Acting was fantastic for a TV show.

It's just a friggin' show. Bad things happen in the world, esp. when life was primitive
