    Porn is essentially an eye of the beholder thing. One man's porn is another man's turnoff.

    My wife watches for the cute dragons. Especially the blonde one.

    To be fair, it has produced some spectacular porn.

    Because Game of Thrones prides itself on killing people for no reason. Hard for me to get invested when that person might die.
    Yes, that's exactly why I don't like it :rolleyes:

    It has nothing to do with the generally unlikable people, random deaths, excessive violence and a backstory that makes Dune feel like a book for 5 year olds.

    Well if you have seen more than zero episodes, then I am not talking about you fireproof.

    I wouldn't say no reason. There are usually plot or character driven reasons for the deaths. Though investing in single characters isn't the best choice in that show. ;)

    I've only seen fractions of episodes until now. I am not sure I want to see one completely.

    I only saw the first series of it and that was only because people told me I must see it. I never bothered with the second series. Not my thing. And I still can't understand why it's so popular.

    Dragons and Ice Zombies. Everything else is just padding.

    I don't generally enjoy character deaths as a rule, so it's not really for me then ;)

    Also, I really think the writers take some pleasure in killing off characters for the shock value.

    Well early on the deaths were driven by what had happened in the books. They've strayed from that a bit. But the first death was definitely driven by turning expectations on their head.

    I'm hoping for the best. But if it can't keep up with things like Westworld, Mr. Robot or Game of Thrones, Discovery will likely be short lived.

    Game of Thrones lasted a while, though.

    Exactly. Love it or hate it Game of Thrones is the best thing on television right now. I'll be extremely happy if Discovery is half as good or half as successful.

    It's still going and racks up consistent Emmy nominations.
