Nine noble families fight for control of the lands of Westeros, as an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.. George R.R. Martin’s wife once said she would leave him if he killed Arya or Sansa.. Tywin Lannister: Any man who has to say “I am king” is not a true king.. During the closing credits, each cast member’s name is accompanied by his/her character’s house designation.. Listed in Hollywood'Top Ten: Critics' Choice Nominees: Drama (2011). Main Title (uncredited) Written and performed by Ramin Djawadi. As we prepare for House of the Dragon, we look back on the glory that was Game of Thrones. Seasons 1-6 are truly remarkable television, right up there with The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Wire, the best of the best. Season 7 was a dip in quality, but still somewhat enjoyable, and then came season 8, which was a blunder of epic proportions. A rushed, underwhelming, lazy ending, and a slap in the face to fans new and old. That being said, nothing can take away from the wild, brilliant, emotional ride that is Game of Thrones, seasons 1-6, the television show that defined a decade and changed pop culture forever. I like to believe it was canceled after season 6 and that we’ll never see the real ending 😉
