My allegiance to the Game…of Thrones

Note to self everyone! Do not think reading the blurbs of some of the Game of Thrones books will only give away a delicious teaser as to how the series will develop. YOU WILL BE VERY MISTAKEN. My friend and I strutted across the shop floor of WHS Smith swarming around the G.O.T’s own library of books, intending to scour through blurbs of metaphorically-teasing riddles hoping to be enriched with the potential direction of the new series’. HOWEVER, evocation was NOT dabbled with, in fact, pure out-right blatancy “metaphorically” slapped us round our faces! We were damn-right stricken by the SPOILER stick!

The aim of this blog, really, is to confess my newly undying love for this series. Having seen only approximately 40% of its episodes in chronological DISorder, I am bemused and perplexed, still, as to who’s who, and what the hell is what. Yet, I cannot express enough admiration for G.O.T.

The vast array of British acting talent; both legendary and up-and-coming, the illusory kingdom; rich in fantasy and not plagued by sci-fi tawdriness , and best of all, the eagerly awaited episodic cameos of Jerome Flynn (Robson and Jerome), is enough to pledge my allegiance to the Game.

I am saying with every inch of sincerity in my being, that it is not too late for any unfamiliar audience to tune in. Yes, it has a labyrinthine nature; however the Period Drama meets True Blood meets Coronation Street hybrid is abounding in ‘what-more-could-you-want’-ness.

The ONLY downside, as every series has one, is that us Thronettes have to wait 365 painfully long days for yet another selfishly short series. However two ancient sayings come to mind when referring to Game of Thrones, the first being its ‘quality not quantity’ of episodes, and finally ‘good things come to those who wait’.

I am sure wait, however impatiently!
