I sit here contemplating Game of Thrones. I’ve watched it before, tiny on TV back in the day, but mostly post finished.
I watched it fully on HBO at some point in 2021, then bought the entire Blu-ray set. Watched it then, and since more than once, one time then last year, in 2025, and I just watched the whole thing again here in April 2026. I feel like going through it again.
I have a horrid accounting for my watching on Trakt.tv site. Something isn’t right, but lets start at the point that this became what it is: obsesssion.
I finally started to read Dance With Dragons and got into it quite a bit, it’s a huge book. I got it when it first came out, and reading the first page, I couldn’t get into it, and I never tried again, until 2026.
It drummed up “hey, just watch the series now” and I looked at Trakt and flipped out, my HBO watch isn’t there and my next watch and ….. oh blah blah blah, “just watch it Maisy!”
So I did. Now I feel sad. Nothing else is interesting.
I hate the last 2 episodes, they really suck.
I have to read Dance of Dragons to the end. I just like the show a lot. Yes lots of parts that are too graphic, but overall I love the story archs.
I hate how hateful Cersei became in the end. Just bloody one emotion.
I hate Euron, he is just too much and Drogon should have fried him.
Sansa is another thing. I just guess I don’t like the actress. She is in X-men movie as Jean Grey and she’s the same, very much the worst sort of noble. She had some good acting, with the GoT Bolton arch she was pretty good. X-Men as Jean Grey/Phoenix is totally flat.
But all the faults are swept away as I binge a season or more every day in a row.
I do need to read Dance of Dragons and then get hard back of all the other books, I only have Feast of Crows in hard back. The others are tattered paperback.
So once I have them all in hard back I’m going to read the entire series again.
