Game of Thrones

The first thing I thought of when I heard this name was chess. Game of thrones must be like chess. The first thing I heard when told this name was “Man, you have to watch Game of thrones, fuck Spartacus, Game of Thrones” and I tend to agree with the man who said that, I tend to.

Game of Thrones is a series based on a novel by George R.R. Martin. The first season premiered on April 17 2011, second season should be out mid October 2011. In July 2011 the novel became a New York Times best seller, 15 years after it was published and a couple months after the series was launched. Who said people don’t read anymore? They just need some video assistance.

We’re in the 1600s id guess, the days of sword and shield, bow and arrow and extremely high English. We have kings and queens and lords and squires and all are treacherous snakes conspiring against each other trying to elevate their family name or sustain its reputation.

Game of Thrones is a glorified days of our lives and I like it because the people that cause the drama get their heads on a spike. Of course some noble, honorable people also get their heads on a spike too, unfortunately. 

The series is intriguing and has depth I wish all series had. There are some expensive actors in it too, makes sense that they had to die. The production is on the same scale as Lord of the Rings.

It is awesome the man that told me it was, was right. The only disagreement I have with him is about the sex scenes. Somehow in the Game of Thrones people feel the need to have a conversation while engaging in intercourse. Like you can actually think while doing it. Makes no sense to me. At least in Spartacus the sex scenes are more realistic.

All in all watching Game of Thrones is not a waste of time like watching jersey shore, which I haven seen, it’s actually quite thrilling and it keeps you intrigued. I can’t wait for season 2 so I can spend an entire day just relaxing and watching something worth my time.
