Game of Thrones for and by newbies.

I don't follow GOT but tonight I sat through the last 6 hours of the battle scene to keep my wife company. My takeaways: 1) in the real world, dragons would have to go back to their base to get more butane, and 2) the first three times you get run through with a sword don't count.

1. "dragons would have to go back to their base to get more butane" - No...

they can just stop briefly and eat some more small children.

the first three times you get run through with a sword don't count.

If someone has already been dead, it's much harder to kill them again, apparently.

3. You could be pulling my leg.

I'm not sure.

2. My wife is into it too. I stopped watching when they killed off Sean Bean.

Besides, I can take a 3-4 hour movie, because I like a beginning, a middle and the end, but I don’t stick around for unending series.

I guess that’s just me. I’m more a movie guy.

4. NO SPOILERS!!!

Three times you say? Only one person can take that kind of damage and keep on fighting.

5. Don't watch GoT. No HBO. WHAT, a 6 hour battle scene? When is it too much?

I can't imagine watching a battle scene for 6 hours? After the 1st hour, what more is there to watch? Dragons flying, breathing fire, people getting skewered or their heads lopped off. Seems like 6 hours would just be wash, rinse, repeat.

6. 6 hours may be a bit of an exaggeration.

But the battle scene did seem endless.
