Corpse Run 1,138: …and now his watch has started
Ok so I’m definitely a little behind the times here.
Like, whenever Game of Thrones started I watched a bit of the first episode but stopped. There was nothing wrong with it, but I thought it was going to be a period piece and it turned out to be high fantasy/magical and I wasn’t in the mood for that kind of show at the time.
Well, I finally started it and my wife who has already seen it seems to enjoy my reactions as we go. Just finished season three this weekend.
So far I’d say that season one was good, season two was mostly bad, and season three was pretty darn good. I hear that it eventually turns into a giant turd, but hey, I’ve watched House of Cards and as far as I’m concerned that’s the poster child for a show that started really good and then completely fell to pieces. Even though it was a barely mobile corpse of itself by the end, I still enjoyed watching the wheels fall off.
I hope to get a similar enjoyment from GoT.
I legitimately tried to get into GoT, but after a while it was just ehhhhh. It felt like 90% of the show devolved into Jon Snow doing Jon Snow things and I just lost interest and quit.
Yeahhh thats the thing, it doesn’t even end in dramatically bad fashion. It’s not a trainwreck, the train just kinda gets stalled and slows to an unsatisfying stop.
I loved this show, but then I hated the end, so now, I am listening to the series on audiobook to see where exactly they decided to diverge, and let me tell you, listening to a sex scene narrated by Roy Dotrice (lovely older gentleman) is still about as awkward as you would expect.
i recently heard of a DS game you might like.
