Connections Game of Thrones by "ZombieAbaddon" Forrest


I thought it would be easy to explain Game of Thrones in a sentence, but after asking a few people who had read the novels and watched the first three seasons; this seems to be an impossible task.  So I watched a few episodes of the first season and to those who have never seen the series before...and believe me, there are a few people who haven't, there are several noble houses that are waging war against each other for the Iron Throne which I believe is that really uncomfortable looking chair of swords, of the Seven Kingdoms.  In Season 1 it appears that in order to strengthen the bond between two of the major families, the House Stark and the House Lannister that they must join forces, and merge.  And by merging it means that the eldest daughter in the Stark family must marry the Lannisters boy, Joffrey (a future king who you want to hit in the face with a chair) – he’s a nasty piece of work, but then he’s the product of a brother and sister relationship.

Across the water the Targaryens are also merging with the Dothraki.  The Targaryen’s have some connection with dragons.  There's warring factions that surround these families, and while they are all fighting to gain control of the throne, having illegal sex, lopping heads off horses, heads off each other, arguing, talking, plotting, and more talking, and more needless sex, a darker threat is travelling towards them.  Winter is coming which is a term used for the White Walkers, which look like zombie ring wraiths without clothes or crowns. 

The Series was created by D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, and is based on George R.R. Martin’s, ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’.  It was filmed in Northern Island, Malta, Scotland, Croatia, Iceland, United States of America, Spain and Morocco.  The episodes last between 50 – 65 minutes.  It’s a medieval fantasy series on HBO channel which viewers can watch over on Sky, unless you have the odd box set!

I had read that this was very much like Lord of the Rings; but I'm thinking that this description is very wrong, or it’s only like LOTR as it also stars Sean Bean.  To me there's too much of everything and it’s so bloody depressing I just can’t feel a shred of enthusiasm to watch further, but then I’ve been told that I have to get past the first 5 episodes before it starts getting exciting, and you can’t skip the first 5 episodes either, as these are crucial for the entire series, about the characters, who they are, what they do, where they fit into the rest of the story and so on. 

It’s a star studded cast with quite a few actors and writers and stunt coordinators etc from the world of Who and Torchwood, which will have you exclaiming and pointing at the screen, if you’re an annoying geek like I am.  The writer George R.R. Martin certainly has an imagination that exceeds any others I have read or heard about, who can think up the lives of all of the characters, and still have so many yet to come into the story from the books to the television series.  It has grabbed the audience by storm, and in a way I wish I had the patience to follow it. 

It’s interesting to see just how many of the cast of Who and Torchwood appear in this show, not just one or two, but loads.  It used to be the case that everyone wanted to be in Doctor Who, now it seems, everyone wants to be in Game of Thrones.

As the series is still ongoing, there may be more surprises coming from new characters as of yet to appear that IMDB haven’t listed.  I will of course continue updating this article when news comes in. 

But until then, enjoy, and see how many you recognise.
