So... how do you describe GoT in a sentence or two? (GoT Spoilers)

This story of a generation of otherwise upright men and women

Squirt

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

Superkid

Sounds like the beginning of an ESPN 30 for 30

I can't tell if you are being facetious or not, but you are playing a dangerous

lilpenny

Yup, "soft porn" would be more accurate.

CougarThug

5/20/19 8:27am

"Dangerous"?

CoachSpeak

5/20/19 8:30am

It was a bit of both..but let's face the facts...if their is nudity and sex in

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

5/20/19 8:31am

Not sure how you define all nudity and sex as “porn.”

lilpenny

5/20/19 9:34am

If you go with the actual dictionary definition of porn

lilpenny

5/20/19 9:40am

Just because it isn’t a porno doesn’t mean it isn’t pornographic

So, your saying scenes of bestiality, oral sex, and orgies are for "emotion"?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

5/20/19 10:15am

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the material is to stimulate emotion

lilpenny

5/20/19 1:00pm

That's a ridiculous analogy...

CoachSpeak

5/20/19 1:06pm

Yes, in fact, many people here have said on multiple occasions "it is porn."

lilpenny

5/20/19 1:14pm

and of course you took that to mean that every single scene is porn?

CoachSpeak

5/20/19 1:24pm

Actually, by that definition it definately is porn.

Gorum the Old

5/20/19 11:49am

The definition applies to the work as a whole, not a single scene

lilpenny

5/20/19 1:21pm

I believe you are agreeing with me.

Gorum the Old

5/21/19 2:50pm

Does how easily you get stimulated determine if it’s porn?

D.T. Survivor

5/20/19 1:23pm

This is from IMDb for just the first episode of season one

DanSmith

5/20/19 8:34am

That sounds like the first five mins of Ace Ventura Pet Detective to me.

lilpenny

5/20/19 9:43am

Haven’t seen it but maybe it’s also pornographic

DanSmith

5/20/19 9:48am

Wrong

lilpenny

5/20/19 9:51am

I believe you are smart enough to think outside the “dictionary definition” box

DanSmith

5/20/19 10:21am

You can't keep changing definitions.

lilpenny

5/20/19 1:16pm

He’s not talking about a letter of the law definition

D.T. Survivor

Do not attend, view, or participate in anything that is vulgar, immoral,

Skeptical Optimist

5/20/19 8:38am

That standard read as is basically eliminates all pg 13 movies. Every single one.

Baron

5/20/19 9:55am

Right. What's the problem?

Skeptical Optimist

5/20/19 10:24am

That it is the standard no one actually believes in that I know of.

Baron

5/20/19 10:25am

Does that change the standard?

Skeptical Optimist

5/20/19 10:26am

Yes. If no one believes it.

Baron

5/20/19 10:49am

Would Pres Nelson watch it? Would you watch it with him?

Gil Buckman

5/20/19 8:39am

I wouldn’t even watch a BYU football game with president Nelson.

JohnnyComeLately

5/20/19 8:54am

Even worse...ward basketball

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

5/20/19 8:56am

No, but this is a terrible standard.

lilpenny

5/20/19 9:45am

And why is that? Is there one standard for GAs and a lesser standard for us?

Gil Buckman

5/20/19 10:42am

Yes there are.

lilpenny

5/20/19 1:23pm

Even when they repeatedly tell us to avoid R rated movies and worse?

Gil Buckman

5/20/19 1:31pm

I'm with you

Playoff

5/20/19 8:45am

On the other hand, Watch what you want to watch but quit trying to justify it.

kccougar

5/20/19 8:47am

This argument is poor and remarkably similar to others in politics.

lilpenny

5/20/19 9:48am

That has literally nothing to do with what I said.

A denigrating show that even some Latter Day Saints are getting reeled in on

D.T. Survivor

5/20/19 8:30am

Got reeled in on, but done now. Repenting for it this week.

Superkid

5/20/19 8:39am

well, you're the winner of the thread, no one else attempted a summary.
