When did you first realize Game of Thrones was never good?

season 1-4 are entertaining though

I didn't like season 5 that much much season 6 restored my faith in the series. My fav season is 4

I gave up after season 4. went back and watched some of the old episodes, I maintain that seasons 1-2 were legitimately pretty good. 3-4 were watchable but clearly losing it

I dropped it after season 3. Although I didn't necessarily dislike the show at that point, everything felt steadily downhill after season 1.

I probably would've watched the whole series if I didn't completely lose all interest in between seasons though.

>>84931969
The first time I watched it.

>>84932075

Season 5 was unanimously the worst season

>sand snakes fight
>every single Dorne scene
>The Assassination of Stannis Baratheon By The Cowards D&D

Just about the only highlight was Hardhome

It was what I expected from the very start - unexplainable cursing and vulgarity and sex exploitation set in a world that is interesting to me. It was good enough to watch everything and I did enjoy it and plan to enjoy the new season.

I don't know why anyone would watch the show over reading the books unless they're illiterate or a retard with ADHD. Even when the show wasn't shit it was a watered down version of the books.

I always thought it was just entertaining schlock. It's very well made but lots of it is stupid, it's just a D&D movie as far as I'm concerned. It holds no deep meaning for me, especially since most of the characters don't act like actual humans would act.

season 1 and 2 are great and everything is after is merely fine

When Brienne beated the Hound

>>84932239
Yeah Hardhome was the only thing that kept me from contemplating dropping the series. But the last 2 episodes of season 6 were among my favorite in the series.

4 was the biggest sign of quality drop. 5 was the confirmation of crap. Basically once episodes turned into:

>here's arya for 5 minutes to remind you what she's doing
>here's jon snow for 5 minutes to remind you what he's doing
>here's sansa for 5 minutes to remind you what she's doing
>repeat for every character in 5 minute intervals
>end episode

Season 1 had a lot of overarching stories and interactions of varying themes, length, complexity, and severity. Fast forward to season 6 where every episode is HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS TO X. NOW HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS TO Y. NOW HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS TO Z. OMG EPIC EPISODE CUZ STUFF HAPPENED IN DUH PLOT GO POST ON TWITTER ABOUT IT!

It's weird how the best episode is in the worst season.

Seasons 1-4 are pure tv kino. Season 5 was terrible. Season 6 was a little better.

Hmm, RMYT.

Even a successful TV series couldn't prompt GRRM to shit out more than a single, half-assed book. Huh.

Ye, thats why real life is boring, watching a series is following the story of some protagonist(s), there is no point in watching when its just a huge clusterfuck without any sense or direction

>b-b-b-but its n-n-new so this means i-its good! NOBODY ever did that before!

More so that it started being sjw. The producers probably started pushing it after people freaked out over Jaime "raping" Cersei in season 4.

I never had a problem with that desu. Brienne is well-established as a hardass and it's a running joke at her expense that she's huge and manly. If someone like BAD POOSEY had beaten him up with the power of feminism like that I'd be bitching though.

It'd been going downhill, but this is the moment I knew it was bad.
This is also the point I only continued watching for Stannis, and I was naive enough to believe it couldn't get worse.

>>84931969
before the end of the first episode

>>84935521
yes?

>>84935662
GRRM is never finishing the books
and he specifically is not allowing anyone else to finish it if (when) he dies

Only seasons 1/2 and some of season 3 are good

Literal trash after that

books are underrated btw

>>84935708
oh, well...I meant the spoilers, I really thought he would have finished the book. I kind of skimmed through the books.

>>84935754
the books are highly overrated, and people pretend that they're better than they actually are
the show at least understands how dumb it really is

>>84935754
The books are some of the worst written novels there are. On the same level as Harry Potter

>>84935872
Oh come the fuck on. They're bad, but they're not even close to being "rip off other people's work and sell it as if it's your own ideas" bad.

Sometime during season 2. I didn't finish it and it wasn't until last year that I went back and watched everything to get caught up because it's still better than 90% of the shit being put out.

Season 5 was when I started noticing.

>bad pussy
>poisoning a child when the boat is like five feet from the port
>20 good men
>Jaime being pussywhipped
>le meme dwarf
>a couple broken pillars for the doom of valyria (I cant remember)

It was when Stannis was asspulled to oblivion that I stopped watching.

around the end of season 1. the scene with the white walker kid from the first episode made me start watching the show, I went into it hoping for a medieval thriller show. Instead I got drama and politics with generic dragons and zombies mixed into it.

>>84931969
first season was pure kino

>>84935162
original had something to do with horses tramping the shit out of people

instead they filmed the long sequence where Jon nearly suffocates after the wildlings panic

Season one was okay. I was hoping for more fantasy and more battles and it focused too heavily on political intrigue. Is it worth it to keep watching?

I've watched this on and off while having a bunch of long term memory problems and it's funny as fuck to just watch a random episode because I recognize the faces but I cannot remember the names and the plot is just crazy shit I have no idea what is going on
it can be fun but in general the 1st episode reminded me of some renfaire type thing it was laughable

Season 2 when it starts to deviate significantly from the book my almonds started being activated. I didn't get really mad until the last season though, when like 15 important characters are killed in a single episode.

>>84931969
I realized it was trash before I even started watching the show, which was back in the third season. I started watching it because all my co-workers watch it, and literally being the only person not discussing new episodes was annoying.

>>84932315
that was a great scene, actually.

I understood in the first episode and never watched it again. I never understood the hype since this episode was so dull and disappointing. I expected heroic fantasy, not soft porn for horny teenagers and single women.

The series was doomed from the start to eventually suck. They should have drawn out the good material from the early books to give the fat fuck more time to write. Season 4 wasnt good but it was still miles above 5 and 6 since D&D cant write for shit. I remember that one scene last season where Jon alone faces the entire enemy army, which really summoned up the state of the series. Its all Hollywood and Capeshit now, gone are the days or interesting dialogue and realism

>>84940021
Same. I watched the first episode and said, the fuck? Boring ass nonsense. Don't understand the hype.

>>84939587
Kinda this, early seasons were better because all the young actors who can't act were still children so they could get away with it.

That's the thing. The characters are exceptionally petty for the sake of drama and this is transparently stupid. Realistically people care more about virtue and, at the very least, image than these characters do, even when you consider the setting.

>>84935708
And you know damn well he has every reason not to. If he leaves everything open, then people will constantly go on about how it could have ended, but if he actually does end it himself, they'll just go "oh".

Season 1 friend.

I got into the show and books by accident. I was tired of hearing normies talk about it being LOTR with tits, and how amazing it was, so I thought I'd watch the first episode to see how shit it was. Season one was actually amazing and I fell into the series as a fan. Then season 5 happened and I realised without the source material D&D make pure shit.
