I watched like 90% of it. I don't remember exactly what happened because I am not a fanatic for a mediocre show that I watched over a year ago.
Spartacus vs Game of Thrones

You've said previously that TWD generates more emotional attachment than GoT and that the internet goes crazy when these "beloved" characters die. I'm putting "beloved characters" into perspective and explaining why TWD is so popular and what it is and isn't good at.
Which "beloved" characters have died in TWD and where has the internet gone crazy (spoiler tags to be safe)? I can remember plenty of GoT events where the web went nuts, but nothing for TWD. Nothing.
You're doing the thread a disservice by attempting to compare TWD to Spartacus and GoT.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Andrea, Shane (bad guy but the buzz was felt), Lori (Personally never liked her), Sophia (young girl in the barn), Beth. There was a lot of social media buzz when those characters died and many articles written, if you didn't take notice (since you say NOTHING happened) then I dont know what to say to you sir. Just because you don't rate the show doesnt mean you can dismiss the buzz these events have generated on social media. FYI I prefer GoT to TWD. TWD deliberately tugs at the emotional side of its viewers than GoT, its a drama afterall.

You really are clutching at straws when you're calling one of the antagonists and the neurotic, sleazy wife a "beloved character who died". Sophia was a bit-part who had no presence (the only decent child actor was Lizzie) and everybody was irritated with Andrea's non-progression and fecking around with the Governor. No beloved characters have died, which is the point I've been contending all along.
Somebody like Eddard from GoT was a beloved character who died. TWD doesn't do that. All the "beloved" characters (Rick/Daryl) predictably survive.

This is incredibly tiresome now so I'll leave it at that.
There was a lot of joy when Andrea and Lori died.
Very convincing. I don't think many would force themselves to sit through a show they obviously don't like. I mean its not like there was a shortage of options, unless someone forced you to watch it. So which is it, 90% or all of it?
Eboue lives in Detroit, he has a lot of time on his hands.
What is this, a cross examination? CHRIST! When I said I watched the whole thing, I meant I watched all three seasons. When I say I watched 90% of those three seasons, I mean I didn't feel like sitting around and marveling at how bad ass the show was every time some juvenile line involving cock and ass came up. Not everyone can justify spending that much time on such an obnoxious show. You fecking mentalist.
Stop it Eboue, you got CSI'd.
I surely don't.
There were four seasons my friend
Don't call him your friend, mate.
She's the worst part about GoT IMO. I thought her story would develop nicely, even liked her character at the beginning but I really dislike how she's developed. The sorceress that rolls with Stannis is pretty weak too
That's because most people are voting without weighing in, and im sure most of those people haven't watched both shows entirely.

GoT in every department, though I like Spartacus for what it is.
Trying to talk about TWD and emotional attachment to those incredibly poorly written characters is amusing me most right now though

Don't call him your mate, pal.
You didnt feel like sitting around and watching it yet you watched it all, but actually 90% of it is what you meant? hmmm lol. :P
I watched it while multitasking and fast forwarding liberally.
Ah I see. You didn't give it your full attention mister.
