Tits should be enough if we're being fair.

Don't know what to say to convince you other than it's brilliant. Give the first 2/3 episodes a watch and you should be hooked.
It's fantastic and yes, you should watch it. The Sand Snakes aren't actual talking snakes
, it's a name given to a collective of a certain characters daughters. They're shit characters, played by not so good actresses. It's the only truly bad thing in the show. Thankfully they have like 20 mins of screen time and are not present until season five.Nice try, folks, but it's not even Martin's best work. It'll take more than magical dwarves, Spyro the Dragon and conical boobs to ensnare me! 
Tyrion's dialogue is getting progressively worse.
I drink and I know things?????
Didn't see an issue with that. He was asked how he was so sure about something, and he replied hes known for two things... Drinking and knowing things.
Pretty pumped. Excellent new trailer. Looks like this season is going to be quite exciting

Just being an HBO production warrants a try.
There are no talking snakes. Quite a few zombies though, three dragons and plenty of castles but the residents tend to get evicted through bloody violence.
Definitely don't watch it if you are offended by the kind of sex, rape and violence that went on in medieval times.
It's neither good nor worth watching unless you stop after the first couple of seasons. Well it might be worth watching if you enjoy watching writing get progressively worse and want to witness the following dialogue:
Woman: I poisoned you when we were fighting. Remember that awful bit of choreography we got up to? Well it was then. Want to see my baps?
Man: Poison?!
Woman: Yeah. Want to see them? Ignore the fact my two sisters are standing there making this extra creepy.
Man: What do you mean you poisoned me?
Woman: Baps? Here just look at them. Go on.
Man: Am I dying? I suddenly feel all the symptoms.
Woman: Tell me I've lovely tits and I'll give you the cure.
Man: What?
Woman: Go on! Tell me they are lovely.
Man: Fine you've a cracking set on you.
Woman: Here's the antidote.
Man: Yay! We are chums now!
Woman: Yay! Let's bang some time.
Paraphrasing but that's essentially what happens.
I think the key to enjoying Game of Thrones is ignoring the moaning of people who've read the books. Like that guy ^^
And this is from someone who has read the books.

I think we all can agree that Sandsnakes storyline is by far the weakest point in the show closely followed by that terrible rescue attempt on Reek (that really was garbage).
I really hope they get back to form, last season was the worst one by some distance IMO. As they don't have any books to base story and dialogue on now (not that I've read those vile texts!), I wonder how they'll manage.
This is how I'd rank the seasons:
1>3>2>4>>>5
I'm really excited about the show returning though. Best thing on TV.

I like the hedges in the background. Very pretty containers.
Hardhome was eluded to in letters, but no major characters were there, and from the way its told, it wasn't an apocalypse, because the White Walkers don't attack in force and in mass like they do in the show; they fade in and out at night, thinning the ranks of men gradually. The show's version of Hardhome was there to make the White Walkers a more tangible threat to the audience, and I have to say it was a good move. Certainly it's comfortably the best sequence from season 5.
Get to episode 5 of season 1 and you won't need any convincing.
I recently realized i forgot almost all names and facts I've watched so far.
That tells me the show is not so great. But i am going to watch it, it's like a social stigma not to.

It is worth watching but the later seasons are nowhere near as good as the first couple. Last season was pretty tragic with only one or two good episodes.
This is absolute bollox. Toxic book die hards opinions should be ignored.
Are you denying that she had a cracking pair of baps?
I'll need a reminder of them before I can say for sure, but as of right now, no. No I'm not.Are you denying that she had a cracking pair of baps?
I want to argue with you but on the subject of the tunnel snakes I really can't...
I really hope they're going to play a big part in season 6. I can't wait to catch up with the adventures of Booby McPoison, Resting Bitchface, and Other One.
Thinking about it now, overall it wasn't the best. The only memorable episode was Hardhome and about the last 30 minutes of the finale. They spent the whole in-between building up Stannis's lead into battle against the Boltons and rushed it with a off screen war, Cersei & the religious cult, Arya & the faces, Sand Snakes introduction..
Other One was apparently in The Force Awakens, I didn't even notice her despite finding her quite hot.
I'm a big fan of the show, but he does have a fair point to a certain extent. Some of the dialogue/storytelling in Season 5 was dreadful at times, and I think there's been a bit of a decline ever since the RW.
Worryingly, it feels like the show is increasingly focused upon being shocking, with plenty of major twists, as opposed to actually being well crafted and interesting. One of the previews with comments from reviewers/journalists focused on how much the show shocked everyone, and even the trailers seem to be resorting more and more to "sword fight/sex/more action". I'm hopeful 6 will improve on 5, though.
Blimey, there's more characters in this show than in War and Peace.
That's bullshit, it had some amazing scenes!
Never gets old, just like the gif of the Liverpool fans vs Palace.Even I could beat that lot up.
All you guys want the good acting but need the bad poosy.
Give us an example outside of the Dorne sideplot that was bad.
Even the producers know it wasn't good. Bryan Cogman basically said that Dorne was a last minute thing because they had nothing for Nikolai Coster Waldau & Jerome Flynn. Certain things went on the backburner (riverlands storyline, book thing that will be happening this season) because HBO pushed the showrunners for 8 seasons as opposed to their planned seven.
Stannis was built up as a major, significant figure for a number of seasons, yet was swiftly disposed of in an incredibly anti-climactic battle that had little impact other than writing him off, because Ramsay Bolton's 20 men were able to outwit the army of one of the most tactically astute guys in Westeros.
And as for the Sand Snakes plot, it still doesn't excuse the atrocious writing. The "bad pussy" line, for example, wasn't to do with lost time or changed plans...it was just atrocious and diabolically bad. The sort of thing any moderate professional should've been laughing at before it was approved.
Suppose when you look at how Stannis' arc ended after his development for three seasons it should've ended at least with an on screen battle.
On the other hand, he wasn't outwitted on the battlefield, Ramsay infiltrated his camp, what with being a Northerner he would obviously know the lands more than Stannis and a bunch of sellswords, and destroyed their caches. How would they, stannis' bought army, know who's who? Especially during the mayhem when everything goes a blaze.
The North is a fairly big place though...and Ramsay's incredibly young. I doubt he's got that much of an extensive knowledge of the North. The whole 20 good men thing was completely absurd anyway, and a plot contrivance to ensure that the Boltons (who have almost everything in their favour), were able to dispose of Stannis and his army.
Hence the twenty good men.
Which, again, was a silly plot contrivance. Who were the 20 good men? Where did Ramsay get them from? Did they support the Boltons, or did they have to be swayed into supporting them? Did any defect? None of this was actually explained at all...because it was just used as an excuse for Ramsay to beat a far superior tactician.
