game of thrones

From day one of the HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s, ‘A Song of Ice & Fire,’ Game of Thrones viewers have been enthralled by the emerging presence of the series ultimate foes, the White Walkers. Moreover, the reason viewers have been so enthralled is simple. Unlike other fictional nemeses like Tolkien’s Sauron, the Walking […]

There’s a lot of death in Game of Thrones. That might be the biggest understatement of all time but, in a show featuring so many characters, it’s important to thin the herd. Happily for us, that makes for a lot of memorable death scenes in the show’s five-year run. Ned Stark, Jon Snow, Joffrey Baratheon, all major characters who […]

Keeping track of Thrones characters has always been a tricky affair. The world has changed beyond recognition since the beginning of the show, with the vast majority of the original cast dead and buried, but there’s still a huge world to rein in, and it’s important that each major player of the game gets a chance […]

8. Jaime Lannister Doesn’t Kill His Cousin To Escape Robb Stark’s Camp (Because It’s Completely Out Of Character) In both the books and the television show, Jaime Lannister is by far one of the most compelling characters. He’s a character that is fundamentally misunderstood by basically everybody on the entire show, and is considered to […]

10. Ser Pounce Who?: This list wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of the coolest cat in Westeros. A long time favourite of book readers, Ser Pounce is one of Tommen’s kittens who nobly managed to evade a skinning by Joffrey. His minor appearance in Season 4 was a high point for some of us and hopefully there is […]

Power. Power! POWER!! At the risk of sounding like a Jeremy Clarkson broken record, the entire world of Thrones revolves around POWER. The pursuit of power, the sustainability of power, the responsibility of power. The actual game of thrones entirely revolves around ruling the roost, with Petyr Baelish eloquently nailing the situation: “Chaos isn’t a pit. […]

Syrio Forel would be bald.   “A slight man with a bald head and a great beak of a nose stepped out of the shadows, holding a pair of slender wooden swords.” —A Game of Thrones Tywin Lannister would be bald, with “whiskers.”     “The Lord of Casterly Rock was as lean as a […]

1. Roose Bolton is an undead creature who steals faces and nails them onto his own. This theory, referred to as “Bolt-ON” (get it, he bolts them on) is only sort of a joke. The Bolton family preference for removing people’s skin is oddly specific, and lots of emphasis in the books in placed on […]
