Game of Thrones...or not
So, the other night El Husband finished watching Season 3 of Game of Thrones (only 3 because we don't have a TV, only now because he started out #250 or so on the waiting list at the library). I didn't watch it with him, which is unusual because with few exceptions (Tolkien and Fritz Leiber) he doesn't care for fantasy, while I love it.
We did start watching Season 1 together, but I bowed out. Maybe it was the headflinging...and the gratuitous female nudity.... Though he's kept me up on events. A typical interchange from the early days --
"So who got offed tonight?"
"Bubba killed Creepius by pouring molten gold on his head."
"Ewww."
If my "ewww" threshold were higher, I might find it compelling. As he says, the plot is extremely complex, and the characters' motivations are over-determined. But as it is, I'm content to let it stay a guy thing.
