My name is Owen. I hope to make this wiki a comprehensive guide to the show. I'm a relative latecomer and the existing content when I joined in October 2011 was already very impressive. I've completed a season 1 rewatch with blog posts. I have overhauled our character articles. I'm working on keeping us up to date with the Season 2 promotional campaign. I will be working on the season 2 episode pages, keeping us up to date and writing a series of reviews as season 2 airs. Finally I've overhauled our images and am working to avoid further duplicates being added and to make sure all of our images have appropriate licensing info and categories. I became an admin here in February 2012 to aid in this goal. I'm a huge fan of the show and the book series. As with the wiki I was a bit slow to discover the books - I did not read the books until 2010 when HBO began promoting the show.
