I Binge-Watched Game of Thrones and Now I’m Completely Obsessed (Review, Theories, and Reactions)

I’m super late to the Game of Thrones party, but seriously, better late than never. I must say, I enjoy being late when it comes to a great series, mostly because I enjoy a good binge-watch.  I don’t know what I would do if I had to wait week after week to see all of the drama unfold in the Seven Kingdoms.

For years, I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about GoT (Game of Thrones…get with the lingo). Knowing that I would one day indulge in this cult favorite, I dodged spoilers and anything that would give me an idea of the characters or happenings. Of course, I couldn’t escape hearing the name “Jon Snow.”  Then, last year all of social media kept ranting about some damn door. Thankfully, my resistance to exposing my ears and eyes to information helped make my 2 week binge session so worth it!

DISCLAIMER: Before I go any further, I want to warn you that this post contains major spoilers. If you haven’t watched the show, the following information will spoil it for you. Please leave from this page if you are not up-to-date with GoT. Nothing but spoilers after this paragraph. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

REVIEW

Before I got into the series, I was told that the first few episodes were boring. WRONG. I enjoyed every minute of the show, from “Winter is Coming” to “The Winds of Winter.” The writing is incredible and the actors are truly meant for their roles. I’ve never hated fictional characters on any other show as much as I hated some of the assholes on GoT.  

I love:

Jon Snow (my bastard bae)

Arya Stark

Lord Varys (I think…)

Tyrion Lannister

Brienne of Tarth

Bran Stark

Margaery Tyrell :’-(

Hodor :’-(

And of course, Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen. Rightful heir to the Iron Throne, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the Rhoynar, and the First Men. I am the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, and Breaker of Chains. The Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen (She told us so many times lol)

I HATE:

JOFFREY OMGGGGGG

RAMSEY OMFGSFJKJGJISFJGOK!!!

Cersei

Pycell

Mountain

I’m so-so about:

Sansa

Jaime

Petyr Baelish (Lowkey, I’m crushing on him hard. But he’s so sneaky!)

THEORIES

I’m somewhat of a nerd, not of any specific genre or thing, but when I find something I like, I immerse myself in everything concerning it.  I’m talking twenty open tabs of Wikia, Quora, YouTube videos, Wikipedia, Reddit, and Google searches. Through my post-show investigations, I found some of the most mind-blowing theories. (I’m also somewhat of a tinfoil hat) Check out some of my favorite OMG theories below.

What if the Arya is really dead and the Waif is living as Arya?? Jaqen H’ghar was very pleased when he saw “Arya” return to the House of Black and White, “alive.” What if the Waif finally finished training and then took on Arya’s persona????

What if Bran Stark is the Lord of Light?! Remember he fked things up when he told young Hodor (then Wylis) hold the door. What if he told the Mad King to”burn them all” but he got the message messed up. He didn’t mean burn everyone in the kingdom, but burn all the wights and white walkers. I found this theory here.

What if Tyrion really isn’t a Lannister…but a TARGARYEN????? His father hated him and always said “You are not my son.” In the books there are hints that suggest the Mad King got it on with Lord Tywin’s wife Joanna.  I heard this here.

What if Missandei is NO ONE?!!?! I don’t really believe this one but it’s quite interesting.

Bran is the three-eyed-raven! This one is actually something I thought of myself. I think the old man is really future Bran. Even Bran’s friend Jojen Reed told Bran that the raven is him. So really, Bran has been training himself the whole time. Maybe Old Bran is trying to undo the current outcome of the world. This is confusing. Let’s move on.

REACTIONS

When we found Cersai and Jaime….ugh

Such men find it difficult to connect with their partners sexually or emotionally, which in turn make such men withdraw from sexual activities due prescription free cialis to their failure to get strong erections.

In this fearful feeling, there was one tadalafil uk page here medication that gave a hope of cure to the people suffering from this condition. Best enhancement product functions levitra price by addressing the underlying cause and leading a healthy lifestyle. When Ned confronted Cersei (Why couldn’t he just tell Robert first!?)

When Ned got executed (It was then that I knew no one is safe. Main character or not. They DGAF)

When Daenerys transformed into a bad bitch

When Joffrey FINALLY died (TEARS OF JOY!!!)

When Tyrion was blamed for Joffrey’s death

When Tyrion killed his dad, the icky mean ol’ Lord Tywin

The Red Wedding (They killed Catelyn yall!!! And Robb! And Robb’s wife and baby! They really don’t care about our faves.)

When Bran became a wizard (yes..I know he’s a “warg” calm down)

Cersei’s Season 6 finale revenge

When Ramsey got eaten to death by his own dogs…and Sansa watched!

When “Arya” (ok maybe Arya…sans quotation marks) killed Lord Frey

Jon Snow revelation

Moral of the story: If everyone just minded their own business and listened to Catelyn, they’d still be alive. But then we wouldn’t have the show. 

 I hear Season 7 will only have seven episodes. I wish it were more but I trust that we’ll be satisfied. Can’t wait until then!
