[quote="Dita's Slot Meter"]I enjoy Game of Thrones, but I must admit I do find it hilarious how its huge gang of followers seem to believe they are watching something deep and meaningful - In reality, its a big budget soap opera. Its a modern day Dallas or Dynasty, only they have gone the whole hog and included random nudity and plenty of blood.
Long may it continue (for now), but you can't help but fear that its just going to become a typical American programme, which gets dragged out way past its sell by date.[/quote
I could equally compare it to a classic Shakespeare play or a greek tragedy and say it is a classic.
Well wriiten fascinating characters, superb dalogue, well acted.
Enduring human themes of love and revenge and ambition with some fantasy thrown in at is all the hallmarks of any great story or film.
