I don't think those are even close to comparable. Usually the overly convoluted story lines in soap operas involve main characters you are very familiar with. GoT is constantly throwing out names of people and houses you may have only seen in one scene a few episodes ago. You really have to keep up with the expansive cast of characters well to not feel lost. That's a very different use of brain power than following a convoluted plot line where the main character is actually her own evil twin and the good twin is locked in the basement.

Convoluted because you have to manufacture drama for the same small group of people every day =/= Complicated because the scope of the story you are telling is epic.

I've defended BBT on here many times, I'm certainly no TV snob, I like what I like and don't care what the rest of you people think. But GoT is most definitely complicated and requires actually paying attention to enjoy unlike some shows that can be enjoyed in the background.

Those shows are always killing off characters and adding new ones. WWE has a massive stable of characters, it's exactly the same.

The storylines are actually quite the same in the most basic way, a constant struggle for power.

Simpletons do watch and understand Game of Thrones, it requires very little brainpower to watch/understand it. It's sad when you have to use a child's game of Memory as an example for why it's a complicated show.

If you simply just want to enjoy Game of Thrones and not understand it, all it requires is you like boobs and killing. If you like those two things, you can find enjoyment in the show.
