Who Will Win the Game of Thrones? (FW)

In the lands of Westeros is where the battle lies and powerful houses are all fighting for one thing; the Iron Throne and control of the Seven Kingdoms. I'm talking about the epic book series A Song of Ice and Fire and the HBO original series Game of Thrones.



I've only recently gotten into this show, but it has slowly become an obsession of mine. The amazing story by George R.R. Martin coupled with the great actors makes for an outstanding show. Also the fact that its on HBO doesn't hurt at all.

For those who don't know, Game of Thrones takes place in a land called Westeros where the Winters last for what seems like forever. The land is ruled at Kingslanding in a position known as the Iron Throne. However, after the Iron Throne, there are many other families who rule certain parts of the Kingdom. Westeros is cut off near the North by this gigantic Ice Mound known as The Wall where Westeros and the uncharted lands are split off.

The show (and books) don't really focus on one perspective. Instead, it moves around to other characters, showing their point of view and giving the audience a chance to see how everyone lives. The main focus of the story is on the Starks; a family who lives North and controls the kingdom of Winterfell. However, it also shows other people, such as Jon Snow, a bastard child of Ned Stark and Daenerys Targaryen, an exiled princess who lives on another continent and years to return home.

Honestly, there's some much to talk about Game of Thrones that I won't get too involved in it. I'll just give my own opinion; this show is a masterpiece. The music, acting, visuals, everything comes to perfection. I also personally am for the Starks taking control of the Kingdoms, but I also do enjoy watching Daenerys, Jon, and Tyrion Lannister (who is by far my favorite character). I've only watched the first season, so if people have seen seasons 2 or 3 or have read all of the books. I would appreciate it if you didn't spoil it for me. Finally, to the people who haven't watched it for some reason, watch it. Honestly, it only took one thing to get me hooked on the show, the title sequence.

 

The amazing visuals, coupled with some awesome music make for a really great intro. To rap things up, this show is one of my favorite shows and I can't wait for Season 4 to come and continue to give the world its greatness.
