The year is 304 AC and the landscape of Westeros is changing. The Stag King is dead and nine sovereigns rise in wake of his defeat. Dragons have returned to the world with three Targaryen lords as their masters. Power shifts and turns, lying in wait for the ones who will claim it as magic rises in the most unlikely of places.

First off, I have never cared for a new/old fandom where few fans can say more than 'watch it for celebrity x! / watch it, it's good!' and so forth. I love High Fantasy as much as the next fan, but I'm not 10 years old. I won't watch anything just because 'DRAGONS'. I care about consistent plots, believable magic/physics/warfare/etc (no 'a wizard did it, yay magic!112', no 'this is make-believe so deal with it'). No abandoned storylines and repeated scenarios ad nauseam, ala the same old event redone over and over; like how some later The walking Dead eps have the exact same formula- the group finds a new town, oh noes it's corrupted, someone dies; rinse repeat. For GoT, I also don't like the controversial/wtf attitudes back when the writer claimed 'it's not sexual assault if you enjoy it'. I need actual substance in a claim as to why GoT is worth watching; I watch films and series a fuckton, I literally doze off (w00t, chronic fatigue) f I'm forced to watch things like b-grade movies and 'just to give something a go, though the story is not for me / just for something to do'. like romcoms, cop shows, college/student life movies, disney's Frozen. My big sister doesn't take no for an answer, sad to say. She's been hounding me, but it's my bloody choice to watch things. I know a few spoilers about got, but it hasn't really connected. I've got no spare time to start reading a book series, so I'd rather stick to the tv version for now. How much of got is split into action/adventure, suspense, court intrigue/politics, drama, epic quests? Is the ratio similar to The original Lord of the Rings trilogy? More outdoorsy adventures? less? Equal? T enjoyed the first 3 seasons of Downton Abbey, as far as family infighting and whatnot goes TWD for the initial outbreak and suspense, survival stories; Black Sails for its realism and characters; NBC Hannibal for its unique take and characters; Lost s1 and 2.5 (haven't finished it) for it's survivalism and the fucked-up island!
