Nine noble families fight for control of the lands of Westeros as an ancient enemy returns after lying dormant for millennia. George R.R. Martin’s wife once said she would leave him if he killed Arya or Sansa.. Tywin Lannister: A man who has to say “I am king” is not a true king.. During the opening credits, each cast member’s name is accompanied by the signs of their character’s house.. Featured in Hollywood’s Top 10: Critics’ Choice Nominees: Drama (2011). Main Title (uncredited) Written by and starring Ramin Djawadi. As we gear up for House of the Dragon, we look back at the splendor that was Game of Thrones. Seasons 1-6 are truly exceptional 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 quite enjoyable, and then came season 8, which was a mistake of epic proportions. A rushed, botched, lazy ending, and a slap in the face to both new and old fans. However, nothing can take away from the wild, brilliant, emotional ride that is Game of Thrones seasons 1-6, a TV series that defined a decade and changed pop culture forever. I want to believe it was canceled after season 6 and we never saw the real ending 😉
