I've never watched Game of Thrones. I've had countless folks tell me I should, but given my tendency to get (overly) invested in shows, I've resisted. I'm currently in a hotel with HBO, so when I saw an episode was on, I thought I'd give it a whirl. I should mention it was the finale of season six. ICYMI, I took some notes on what I watched. There's probably spoilers here, but I don't know what they are?
- This opening theme sequence seems unnecessarily long.
- Everyone is getting dressed in an elaborate sequence.
- Why is there no talking? Show's been on for five minutes, and there have been zero words spoken.
- More shots of people getting dressed.
- Seriously, where is the talking?
- This trial is a bummer.
- *Covering eyes for the blood and sword thing*
- This show is so dark. . .like as in poor lighting.
- *Covering eyes for lots of blood and stabbing*
- It appears as if this guy just found the ozze that made the TMNT and/or some residue from Slimer in some random cave.
- Court is out. of. control. They need medieval Judge Judy to restore order.
- Umm, someone might need to call the Ghostbusters because there is a green explosion everywhere.
- #sipswine
- #pourswine
- This woman gives no f-s.
- Someone else is dying.
- Now, there is a party.
- Now, there's some new people. I think they are moving to the town?
- They're talking about Jon Snow. I think he died, but then he didn't?
- Jon Snow is here!
- Now they're talking about some war. I think that is probably important.
- It's snowing. Jon Snow is standing outside with some woman. It seems like they should go inside where it's warm.
- Now it's somewhere where it's spring out.
- Apparently a war is going to happen soon.
- #drinkswine
- More people talking about war. The blonde queen lady is going to get married to someone to build alliances. But it's not going to be the dude with the beard. #awkward
- Peter Dinklage is explaining to the blonde queen she can now get whatever she wants in the game (. . . of thrones?!?!)
- Grumpy Old Man in the house.
- Grumpy Old Man just got killed by the Stark girl.
- The redheaded woman and some guy are talking about the iron throne.
- Guy went in for the kiss. Redhead wasn't interested.
- Guy with really pale skin (Uncle Ben) just said peace out to his nephew and niece. They're stuck out in the cold. Also, there is a tree that has bloody eyes, and the kid just touched it.
- Now, some lady is dying in a bed. Ned is sad.
- The lady just whispered some stuff to Ned.
- There's a baby.
- #jonsnowstare
- Some dudes are having a meeting about a war.
- A little girl is calling all the old dudes on their s--t.
- The little girl is #TeamStark.
- Now they're talking about Jon Snow and the Red Wedding. I think that was a big deal.
- A dude is apologizing for being a jerk.
- House Clover + House Stark = Love
- The meeting is all about #TeamKingoftheNorth
- Here comes the short-haired lady.
- THERE IS THE FANCY THRONE!!!
- The short-haired lady is the queen now.
- #sitsonfancythrone
- There is some dramatic music and people staring at each other and/or at random things.
- A lot of boats are going somewhere.
- Some dragons just showed up?!!?!?
- THE END. . .
- Huh?
