"
When Game of Thrones, the show first premiered, I remember Suity was sort of anti.
So then I got well first I was mad because I was like no, like the show isn't right because you know this butterfly effect and like this thing happens and that thing happens.
But then it had been a while since I had read the books and I was like actually at SNL and like Dinklage was on and it was like so cool and fun and I started thinking about Game of Thrones again and I had like scenes and episodes and then I started watching not this season but the season before now I'm caught up on this season and then I think I'm going to go back because I realize that every episode of Game of Thrones is a tiny Lord of the Rings.
