Joe Pesci Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I am simply curious as to the reasons why people who dislike and hate the show so much continue to watch it and would be interested in their responses. And if possible, please don't turn this into the R&R thread :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm too invested now. Stannis and Jon are still great. And even some of the changes I hate are well played. Like Tyrion and Jorah. Winterfell and Dorne, not so much. Euron gives me hope for next season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bauer 24 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 glad you are still here ... will you be more active in off season and casting threadsHey Drogonthedread good to see ya. Yeah I'll be more active in the off season. I think this is only my second post in the GoT section since the season started. I still post often in the Entertainment sub forum though.

Lord Lannister Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I dunno. If I hated something as much as some of the show naysayers did... I'd just stop watching and definitely wouldn't bother with a message board on the subject. Sure the show has it's short comings and doesn't measure up to the books. It's painfully obvious in some ways. No tv/movie adaptation ever does. Still it entertains me, and I keep watching. Heck, I'm just happy we're getting new material finally even if it is almost fanfic'ish in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronuspk Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Because they don't completely hate it. People like to bitch, and that doesn't just go for GoT. It's for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby b's bobby Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 In too deep I've watched the rest might as well stick it out I don't think the shows crap just very disappointing no where near it's potential meh tv still vaguely entertaining bar most of season 5 I liked episode 7.

Lord Freypie Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I liked the tone of Rome more but still watched and rather liked Spartacus Blood and Sand. I hated the way Hollywood used the title of one of my favorite book to make a generic blockbuster movie barely having any similitude with the true World War Z stories (and more that they blocked any truthful adaptation by purchasing the rights to do this crap) but still, as a brainless blockbuster and trying to forget its title I judged the film no worse than others in this genre, and had a good time watching it. Etc... Maybe I'm not a true show hater, but globally I judge GoT a very decent show, although I dislike many of the choices D&D made (I'd even say "most" story alterations this season) and would dream to see another adaptation taking directions I'd like more (who knows, with actual tendancie to produce remakes and reboots of anything popular perhaps another ASOIAF show will be made if it's a success, so I certainly still want GoT to be one).Voicing negative opinions about the show is just a way to increase the chances that next season or eventual new version, is closer to our expectations.

Livus Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Not a hater but also not a lover so will answer here: I keep watching for three reasons:1) there are actors in this who I really like watching, especially Dinklage2) I'm curious to know what they will do with it - as Lord Lannister says, it's like a fan fic or something3) I want to know what everyone else is talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalerionTheCat Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hate is too much, but dislike, more and more. But I want to know what they are doing with ASoIaF, because I like this one. For curiosity only, not for enjoyment anymore. I don't mind for spoilers. Usually I read reviews before watching. I would like the show to remain a mean to convince people to read the books. But I'm more and more concerned by what may think people who only watch the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protar Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's based (ever more loosely) on my favourite book series so there's a certain level of investment and curiosity. The spoilers from the show will inevitably seep in through social media and this forum so I may as well get them first hand (though I'm dubious as to how much the show can spoil if it strays from the books so much). Each individual scene is usually well acted with high production values. Those scenes which aren't, like Dorne, take on a "so bad it's good" quality. It's fun to snark on here and tumblr about it.

David Selig Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Because a lot of it these days is of the "it's so bad it's good" type, so poorly written and shot it's unintentionally hilarious. Like every scene in Dorne so far, especially the "epic" fight which made me laugh out laud for good 5 minutes. Then the R&R threads here are great fun too. Also there are still some good scenes like once an episode, so it's not a total loss in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Snow Nothing Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Because the show will eventually pass the books and we have been told that the endings will be mostly the same. I wont be able to live under a rock and avoid spoilers from the book ending for however many years it takes GRRM to finish A Dream of Spring. I would rather have the book series spoiled by the show than by social media, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Typer of Dorne Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Because no matter how much D&D have fucked it up, it's still better than 99% of the rest of stuff on T.V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon greyscale Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference. My idea is that if people take the time to come here to express "how much they hate the show now" or how "they're done with the show" , they're actually quite obsessed and will never stop watching.
