Everyone who watches SCC raves about how smart and well made it is, so I think I will definitely give it another try. I have a feeling it will win me over.
All the conflict in GG is horribly contrived, and the characters generally don't behave like human beings. I don't care that the GG universe is totally unrealistic (I used to love that!), but I DO care that the characters act in ways that make no sense. I hate that the plot is driven half the time by characters not talking to each other, even though the conflict would be instantly resolved if they did -- this tells me one thing: the storyline is a piece of shit. That's not real conflict, that's weak-ass storytelling, and just plain bad writing. I hate it when writers have to make the characters act like complete and utter morons in order to tell their story. Ultimately, it's the awful writing on GG that has turned me off show, so unless they hire a brand new writing team for S3 I'm outtie. Hell, I only have 3 GG icons left, which says it all.
