The current GRRM shitstorm: some weirdo on the Game of Thrones series. Danae al'Thor Send a noteboard - 15/04/2011 05:46:21 PM
You know, I don't read GRRM, but articles like this make me wish I did, so I could be more annoyed than I am at this reviewer. amongst other things, she seems to have no problems admitting that she has viewing ADD, and she also seems to think all women want in their viewing is sexy sex.

This is a link to the original article:

The NYT review was internally inconsistent and largely incoherent. Tom - 15/04/2011 07:34:57 PM 2013 Views

Martin must be glad to not be the target of it, for once... Legolas - 15/04/2011 08:36:15 PM 1279 Views

it angered me a bit. Jessie - 16/04/2011 01:48:58 AM 1267 Views
The original reviewer appears not only to be an outdated snob but an idiot DrJacJacMcScrumptious - 16/04/2011 11:51:29 PM 1293 Views

Wow. Very opinionated. It would be offensive if I cared about what she thought but I don't. Tashmere - 18/04/2011 02:08:52 AM 1330 Views
That's an interesting question. Darth_Katie - 18/04/2011 04:33:48 AM 1213 Views
It would depend on how much detail they go into. Tashmere - 18/04/2011 10:01:58 AM 1450 Views
That is a good point. Darth_Katie - 18/04/2011 01:28:47 PM 1148 Views
How do you feel about other HBO shows? Clover - 18/04/2011 06:47:30 AM 1199 Views
I haven't ever had HBO so I don't know what to expect. Tashmere - 18/04/2011 09:57:27 AM 1288 Views
It mostly irks me that women will read this and think, "I shouldn't bother with that show." Clover - 18/04/2011 07:07:13 AM 1305 Views
