I Watched Game of Thrones.

"Jesus, Khaleesi, how far away did you park?"
As you may have read in my previous post, I've submitted to peer pressure and decided to watch Game of Thrones.
For those who missed it and can't be arsed to read the aforementioned post (though you really should do so now), the premise was that I'd heard so many people talking about GoT that I already knew everything that was going to happen. Thus, I made predictions so when I came back after watching it I could say I was right (as usual). Having watched the first four seasons, here are my main takeaways from it (possible spoilers ahead, as well as in those last two links. Oops.):

I was right about pretty much everything.


Big surprise there, right? 
Apart from some very minor details (I thought Joffrey died at the Red Wedding, for example) I was unfortunately very well-informed.
A few other details that I hadn't bothered/had forgotten to include in my first post were that HafÞór Björnsson kills some dude and there's a fella named Hodor who's apparently a Pokemon because all he says is his own name, which is ridiculous.
I was right about those things too.
I was right about all of the things. That's is why this post is so short.

It absolutely lives up to the hype.


During the first season, I pretty much wanted to never do anything other than watch this show ever again for the rest of my life.
Season two lulled a bit as did the first half of three, but through the end of the fourth it was back to being great again.

If you're easily offended or disgusted you won't want to watch it; there's some seriously messed up shit that probably would have gotten changed by any network other than HBO. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. Even knowing ahead of time what would happen I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Natalie Dormer's evil smirk makes her look like she's about to steal Christmas.
