      Can someone summarize Game of Thrones for me? All seasons. In 280 characters? I don't watch it. 🤣

      The world is facing an existential threat that only a few understand. Instead of heeding warnings, terrible families vie for control as the threat grows. Writing and character development is great first five-ish seasons.

          I always took this to be the subtext. The last two seasons have been a bit...frustrating...if you read appreciate subtext because these larger themes seem not to matter as much any more.

          I mean I don't watch GoT, I just read about it online because other people watch it. If so, that's deep. Tangent: but seems like ever since Lost (again, have not watched it) and Passions (have, when a teen) that SF&F and soaps (GoT, Walking Dead, etc.) have kind of merged.

          Soap operas were just dramas that happened to be marketed to middle-class women working in the home in the 20th century, right? I didn't watch them, but I can't imagine there was anything unique about them from a dramatic perspective. All drama has the same core elements. >

          > "Soaps" has a pejorative use, but this may has to do with the people's perception of their demographic. Didn't read much fantasy, but mid-20th century sci-fi was in *dire* need of people that could write about human characters and their relationships...

          I watched some soaps as a teen like Passions and María la del Barrio, not sure the dramatic devices are used or have been used outside soaps until recently. The way they used emotional drama and cliff-hangers is a special mix and other styles of shows like SF&F, e.g., Doctor Who

          or Poirot are (or used to be) more self-contained. I personally have no issue with the devices used by soaps in the general sense but they are addictive AF (for me at least).

          This all bearing in mind I am not from the classical West and grew up in a culture where we watched shows, for example, in not Greek, e.g., Spanish or English with subtitles, something that on mainstream UK TV would not happen except in very exceptional cases.

          If I say anything bad about soaps or GoT it's more because I find them addictive to me personally. The main thrust of my point was of an interest in how culture has shifted and devices and themes from soaps have been incorporated into SF&F.
