[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9348343, member: 50987"] A friend of mine recommended [I]Game of Thrones [/I]to my spouse and I. We watched the first episode and it didn't grab us. "You need to give it at least the first two episodes," she said. So we did. Still didn't grab us...in fact we were even less interested because we had gotten our hopes up. "No, see, it's a slow burn!" she said, enthusiastically. "Episode three is when it really takes off." This went on for quite some time. Three episodes became four, then five, then six, then she pivoted to seasons. "Season 2 is really where it gets good," she said. But by that time, we were done--we never started the second season. I suspect she would have said something like "Wait, no, Season [I]Three [/I]is where it gets good. Did I say three? I meant [I]Season Four, [/I]heh" until we had wasted entire months of our life watching the whole thing, all the while waiting for it to finally "get good." [/QUOTE]
