I am retired dentist, 77. Lifelong history buff. For many years a WW2-Third Reich student, then WW1, and now Ancient Rome. My memory is no longer good..this wiki site will really help me stay oriented in "G o T". I quit HBO years ago as so many of the shows were of no interest and I did not like paying for those I would never watch such as boxing etc. With Amazon, however, I may go back now and select some HBO offerings. Many years ago, in the Army in Germany, a visiting Catholic chaplain was given a small cocktail party on Saturday night. It was a small post and the various clergy rotated through. I am Episcopalian..in an attempt to make conversation I said to him I'll bet those confessions are pretty interesting..?? He was an older guy, maybe 38..he looked at me and said.."are you kidding..he said people have about 6 ways to screw up their lives...it's the same crap over and over again. I have to listen to the crap knowing exactly what's coming next and trying not to fill it in to speed it up". I have never forgotten that moment as I saw it unfold in my personal life but watching "Game of Thrones" and reading about Rome (or anywhere over time certainly including Washington, DC) he was so very right. I must add I cleaned up his language.
