I watched the first season of Game of Thrones online in about a week and a half flat. I became very addicted very fast. I got sidetracked with the less fine things in life like school work and a social life, so I only got through about four episodes of the second season over the month that followed. I think its probably one of the best shows on TV right now, however I am very faint of heart, so it was only a matter of time before I had to stop watching for one reason or another.
Given the supernatural/spooky/things-that-lurk-in-the-woods-and-eat-babies, overwhelming physical and sexual violence, and the constant depiction of festering wounds I'm surprised I even lasted this long. I would take a poll of what you all guess finally got to me, but I don't know how to use technology so I'll just tell you it was the sexual violence. Its just a little too troubling for me (I am thinking of one scene in particular, I don't know if it qualifies as sexual violence or just disturbing subject matter, but there were naked people involved). I am very impressionable, and I cannot stress enough that I don't have dreams, I only have nightmares. Its true. I'm not lying, I wish I was.
It kind of breaks my heart that I have to stop watching though. It really is a good show. I could read the books I guess, but I'm illiterate. In addition to being well written, I think Peter Dinklage is one of the most talented guys around, also, I want to be the real life version of Daenerys Targaryen, dragons and all! This is a bittersweet moment in my life, and probably the hardest breakup I will ever go through.
