      Old "meme" but as a Breaking Bad fan, talking to GoT fans, "I get it! I'm sorry for what I did to you when BB was on the air!"
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Never saw BB until last winter. Awesome show, don't watch that much TV other than sports. Haven't seen Game of Thrones either, someday I'll watch it

          First of all it is more than 1%. Second of all why do GoT fans (or fans of any show) get so uppity just because someone hasnt watched their show? Me saying I dont watch it is no different than you (not you specifically) talking about it incessantly and telling me I have to watch it.

          Now personally I have never felt the need to watch the show but I also dont brag about it. I dont refuse to watch it cause it is cool to be different, the show doesnt interest me.

              I love the premise of GoT. I've never seen one episode.

                I've been watching GoT since shortly after it began. I love discussing it with people who've also seen it, but other than telling people who've not watched it "you don't know what you're missing," I don't get uppity about it.

                Also, I've never seen Breaking Bad or The Wire.

                        I like when people tell me the shows they have really enjoyed. That's how I got into GoT in the first place, as well as American Gods, American Horror Story, Black Mirror, and many other shows. Previews are almost always marketed to make shows look stupider than they are, so word of mouth is really the only way I ever find out about shows being worth watching.

                          It is one thing to say "hey this show is awesome and here is why". Fans of shows like GoT and Breaking Bad and ESPECIALLY the Wire will **** near set you on fire if you dare say you dont care for the show. 24 fans were like that also up until I guess the show jumped the shark. (I never got into it)

                          It is like music and movies...some people get their entire self worth by other people liking what they like. Then they accuse you of "not getting it" or pretend you arent smart just cause you have an opinion contrary to theirs. If you have no idea what I am talking about find a Rush fan, say you dont like their music and prepare to be amazed

                            Pink Floyd fans are also terrible at this.

                              That's certainly true, though there's a difference between somebody saying "I just don't enjoy opera" and "Hurr, opera is dumb." The former person has their opinion and god bless them. The latter person... welp, something's dumb, anyway...

                              I can't stand ballet. I find it boring. But I'm not going to tell somebody who loves ballet "ballet is boring" because I know that's not objectively true, it's just that for whatever reason I can't get into it. If I say "I haven't enjoyed the ballets I have seen" there's not much arguing, except the person might say "well, have you tried x?" If somebody tells me they haven't enjoyed opera I would suggest they try the English version of Die Fledermaus, which is hysterically funny and very accessible, or Carmen, which is sex, violence, and an over-the-top pot boiler.

                                Never saw any of the 3 or had anyone harass me that I haven't. lil les is reading the Gof T books. Says they are really good.

                                People who get their grill up the back end of your car when you are navigating thru narrow streets with people parked on either side (not well) and folks coming in the other direction. Dude, you are not going any faster than me because you have a shiny Ford 150. ==wasn't even like I was going very slow. You can't drive through a space another car is in.
