One Rule

Game of Thrones comes back in a few weeks and I’m already in that space where I’m half-thinking about what’s coming. The show gets its hooks in with the obvious stuff—bodies, violence, the scheming—but what keeps me is that it actually means something when people die. You invest in a character and the show just ends them. It shouldn’t work but it does.

One thing has to happen for this season though: Daenerys needs to survive. Everything else can collapse. The politics, the wars, the death count—I can take all of it. Long as she makes it, I’m good.
