Because it's really more about knights/ladies and castles than fantasy. The fantasy stuff is really on the fringes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more of Margaery's boobs, they want to pop out of those dresses so bad. Watch the Tudors. She has some of those scenes in there (Season 1/2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not either but something made me start the books a couple years ago. It's more of a medieval political thriller with a huge and remarkably well developed world (with history) that it made it impossible to put down. There are fantasy and sci-fi elements to the series, but it seriously accounts for maybe 10-20% of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I watched Season 1 of The Office on Netflix since its only like 5 episodes. Outside of Amy Adams appearing, ugh. Is it like other series where it gets better in Season 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I agree with the Parks and Rec comment, that first season was pretty brutal, the characters just didn't find themselves yet. But as soon as season 2 started with that rap by Leslie, you knew they were much more comfortable in their roles and comedy would ensue.

Season 1 of Parks & Rec was bad and short as well but has been great ever since. Wondering if the same could be said for The Office. I think it did get better until its peak, when (spoiler!) Jim/Pam got together. After that it's all downhill. It was Steve Carroll playing the role of Michael Scott for 3-4 (5?) more seasons (not a genuinely new and interesting character that you enjoyed watching. It was just Michael Scott doing stupid/embarrassing s*** every episode). Occasionally there was a good episode, but it was average at best. And then it got to be unwatchable once Carroll left and they tried a bunch of gimmicks that failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as soon as season 2 started with that rap by Leslie, you knew they were much more comfortable in their roles and comedy would ensue. Agreed. Starting with season 2 the writers found out who the funny people were going to be (Ron, Andy, Tom and Pawnee generally) and refrained from having Leslie be the main comedic driver like Michael Scott in The Office.

Lol, it isnt the show as much as the comments. Usually Brian is pretty lenient and you are "I HATE THIS IT IS TERRIBLE I WILL WATCH THE ENTIRE SEASON TO MAKE SURE IT REMAINS TERRIBLE" which is admirable and hilarious at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
