Purity is my fanservice.
Rule of 3: Three favorites in each category, three episodes before drop or finish, three shots before adjusting sights.
Stay off of forums unless you like mentally torturing yourself. Limit your interaction with strangers on the internet for similar reasons.
The Ratings:
- Probably the reason I have killed myself. Unused so far.
- Something that is untenable in any meaningful way. Very rare usage.
- Something that feels worse than wasting time.
- Generally bad, but can have interesting bits.
- Certified "mid". Generally a waste of time or a controversial view.
- Something enjoyable at the moment, but I could do without. Not meaningful contributions to larger media, but still fun to watch.
- The diplomatic score. It's a good watch that has more than raw entertainment value, but isn't going to shake me in any way.
- Most common rating for me. A show that I thoroughly enjoyed and would consider a solid contribution to some field of culture. Many classics end up here by default.
- Something that hits just right. Often something that personally connects in many ways, but could also just be something that I find to be fantastic.
- Something that significantly changed my life. Often a subjective rating, but all of these have some very high quality writing to accompany them. Most should consider these similar to my 9 ratings.

It ONLY went downhill from season 1. Only saving grace is decent fights.
I have decided that I do not care. LoGH fails where its Western counterparts succeeded: in having spice, in having focus, and ESPECIALLY in not wasting my time. All I've watched is a nothing-burger where the protagonists think they're clever by "defeating" the most incompetent enemies in all of fiction.
"Hey, let's starve our own people and somehow make them blame the enemy for it. What a great idea!"
"Guys wouldn't an autocracy run by a saint be great? Surely this is a sustainable and effective form of government that won't fall apart in one generation."
"Oh hey there's this definitely-not-irl-"inspired" tiny state that has a cult-like religion that secretly controls at least half of humanity's assets."
Yeah, I'm not buying this drivel anymore.
"An ocean wide and an inch deep."
If this is bad, I'm killing myself.
