Apologies for a no show last week, my end of exams celebration lasted a while...
This is a new post that may not appeal to some of you who don't watch this fanatical show but I think you should just read on to see if I may be able to persuade you! :-)
Game of Thrones is about a world where dictatorship is everything. The House Targaryen ruled the lands of Westeros for years until a rebellion changed the lives of everyone. Now, a boy king sits on the throne and the rightful heir is ready to reclaim the kingdom. Question is, the rightful heir seems to be a numerous amount of people so it's essentially, A Game of Thrones. It's not as simple as that, the history of everyone is intriguing and full of unanswered questions, hence this show is one of the best written shows to ever grace our screens.
I remember back in college when everyone on the bus was talking about this thing called GoT (I literally thought it was called that...), but I also remember thinking that it can't be THAT amazing, it's essentially a TV show based on some books, get over it. Then I started to watch it that night out of pure curiosity thinking that I'd be that person who's just unimpressed with everything. How bloody wrong was I?...
Reasons why it's it's great:
1. It's not like Harry Potter (aimed at the dimwits who even utter the words to compare to that)
2. It's new, it's not like anything else I can think of and I've watched a lot of TV shows
3. This is one show that the US haven't made a complete mockery of
4. It's pretty accurate to the books, well, for the first few seasons. Now the writers are just scared of the book author dying and not having a plot ending, hence season 5 is just weird e.g. Sansa and Ramsay
5. The characters are in a completely absurdly weird way relatable, you can actually empathise with the tragedies that occur to a wide range of personalities. You will go through every emotion imaginable from one single episode.
6. What other show has such precise looking fire-breathing dragons, a Tyrion or a Ned Stark?
7. I've never experienced such anticipation when waiting for the next show to air 7 days later (apart from The Walking Dead - that post will be coming)
8. I watch the trailer for the next show 20 billion times to analyse everything that could happen
9. How many shows can you think of that are set in Northern Ireland, Malta, Morocco, Croatia and Scotland? Like come on, how lucky are those actors!
10. Lastly, the epicness of the fabulous theme tune which I can honestly say, I have never skipped because it does go on for some time.
People of world, you need to have this show in your life. Just don't watch it with your parents, things get a little risqué if ya catch my drift...
(Disclaimer: This is an R-Rated TV show)
This show will keep you gripped, on edge and enthralled in a story of twists and turns to churn all your emotions in a single hour.
Thank you King George R.R Martin for the books.
Also, thank you for reading this.
Bye! :-)
