There is no reason to be this pressed about a tv show.

You know, I barely watched any of TWD and Breaking Bad's most recent seasons.
While I think Queen Sansa is one of the best characters on TV, and some of her scenes are among the best TV scenes of the year.
So...I don't think it's correct to say I'm "pressed." I do not resent the show, but the fanbase, which often likes to talk like the people do in this thread, ganging up on anyone who doesn't worship it and throwing personal attacks and laughing merrily about being that way. So I think the behavior when it comes to this show and ratings to be very obnoxious, and I am presenting facts to show that it's not entirely merited.

GoT with the same # of viewers will stll be successful. Again this argument is pointless.

I never argued that it wasn't successful.
The bar for HBO success is much lower than one would think; for initial airings, Veep hovers in and out of the 1-million bar, and Girls only gets 1 million viewers on rare occasions, yet they've been renewed for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons.
Going into its 5th season, drama-wise, is Boardwalk Empire, which recently averaged just over 2 million viewers.
So obviously for HBO it is very successful.
