Forums - General Discussion - Game of Thrones (TV series) Official Thread

Game of Thrones is a television series on HBO based on the best selling A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. Game of Thrones is an epic, high fantasy series about the fight for control of Westeros which was inspired by The War of the Roses in medieval Europe. Though it's been labeled as fantasy, Game of Thrones is more about the struggle for power and family dynamics than it is about typical fantasy tropes like magic and elves. As co-producer and writer David Benioff put it: “If you have to just pick one word to describe it, it’s the word ‘power’ and how it affects those who are pursuing it, and how those who already have it try to retain it, and how those who are caught in the crossfire between the two are mutilated in the process.” In addition to complex characters living in a well thought out and developed world, the story boasts plenty of violence, sex, and other adult oriented content.

I'm about to watch episode 7. The first 6 were great, and I watched them all last night. Only negative I can think of so far is the cliché Spanish sword fighting instructor. Oh, and who is Lord Elregglerumbum??!?

Who is this Jon Arryn guy that everyone keeps talking about? I think I may have to watch the first 6 episodes again cos I seriously have no clue.



Was this Moderator approved? (The "Official" part.)



Can't wait until Season 2 starts in April, definitely a great show!

Not having read the books: Joffrey, please die!

What do you mean 'good'? Why do you care? Are you a mod?

Does the king die in episode 7? He is on his deathbed right now.



Haven't read the books yet but I've enjoyed the first season so much I cannot describe it.
