Evaluation of the TV Series Game of Thrones
The HBO broadcasting network debuted my new favorite TV series Game of Thrones in April 17, 2011, which is based off the author George R.R Martin’s novels “Game of Thrones”. Since the first premiere of the fantasy driven drama series: resembling closely with medieval era, I instantly become a fan. Aside from the memorable characters, which oftentimes leads one to develop some form of attachment and then left with the unbearable shock due to well-known bloodlust of surprise executions gives more of reason to tune into the show. I would describe this show as truly unique where nothing is ever expected to be anticipated. It hold’s no true connection or trends to past popular shows, which makes it, stand out from the rest.
The heavy storyline tells the tale of noble families feuding for control over the Iron Throne in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. It also appears to be surrounded with the emphasis of the coined phrase “Winter is Coming”, which sets the tone metaphorically as catastrophic times are fast approaching once again, which seems to be the current post apocalyptic world they live in. Its emphasis is not only meaning the threat of other living beings, environmental disaster factors, or political corruption; however, a mythical force of white walkers that roam the icy lands seeking the land south of the incredibly massive Wall. The Wall is protected by only men, which have pledged their allegiance to the Sworn Brothers of the Night’s Watch in order to protect any attempts of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros to be overthrown by those exiled outside the Wall, or those unliving.
Game of Thrones is always keeping me on my toes and I’m sure the other 18 million viewers can simply agree that it is suspenseful leading to many wanting more and more once the hour long show cuts off. The show has the ability to make you feel all sorts of emotions from laughing at witty comments to being left feeling sad and in a state of

    Last week we went to the Phoenix Theatre in Leister Square to see Blood Brothers. When we walked into the theatre, I noticed that the proscenium arch stage was slanted which put everything on the stage in perspective. There was no live orchestra, and all the sound travelled easily throughout the room as it was quite a small theatre. Before the play, I had been told that the story was based in Liverpool and I had high expectations as it is one of the longest-running musicals in the West End. Behind the gauze, I could see the backdrop which was mostly grey and had houses and other buildings on it. It looked as if the scene was set in the heart of Liverpool. Due to the artwork on the programs, it was obvious that this production would be about the life of two brothers, and the different ways in which they grow up. The use of the clasping of hands symbolised a forbidden or unlikely friendship between the different classes that there were at this time.…

    A Game of Thrones easily deserves the many kudos it has so far received. A huge yet surprisingly well-developed cast of characters interact in a story intricately told, weaving through plots and counterplots in the deadly quest for power. Martin's prose is gripping, pulling you quickly and fully into this world so vividly described that it almost is real A Game of Thrones spans a lot of pages, but is so well-written that you will find yourself too soon coming to its end and facing the fantasy reader's curse (and blessing): the eager, interminable wait for the next…

    Steven Johnson presented the argument that watching certain TV shows can make a person more intelligent. According to the author, shows have only become more complex with different story arcs, threading, and social interactions amongst characters. He argues that certain types of narrative weaving cause a person to actually focus on what is happening and notice the details within the show. To support his argument, Johnson discusses the Sleeper Curve, which is found in certain television shows that cause a person to have to pay attention to things below the surface, such as tracking character relations and making inferences. The article presented comparisons between old and modern television shows, as well as clarifying that “bad” shows can also…

    “The Golden Age of Television” is a phrase often used to describe today’s entertainment landscape, with successful shows such as ‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘House of Cards’ getting huge viewing figures underpinned by undeniably high quality content. This shift in the quality and ambition of television marks a change in its ontology but what effect has this had on cinema?

    Privacy is perhaps one of the most personal issues in today’s society. Privacy is an intensely personal issue, and perhaps not only to the right of the individual to dress the way he or she desires, worship in any way he chooses, but also to expect that those rights be protected by the government that upholds them. At one point or another, every individual in our society has asked the question, “Is privacy in the 21st Century possible?” The answer lies in the exploration of what privacy really means, and what privacy issues society faces in today’s modern, informational, and digital age of what we call the 21st Century.…

    Upon beginning the research for this assignment, finding an example of Transmedia seemed harder than it truly was. Dexter the series on Showtime gained popularity over its run of 8 seasons. Few people notice that the series was based on a book by the name of Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Of those that do notice the fact that it is based on a book, even fewer viewers know that only season one of the show is related to the book. After the first season, the rest of the series was a completely original story, but the Transmedia aspect of the story doesn’t stop with the first season.…
