If you haven't seen Sunday's "Game of Thrones" and don't want a big plot point given away, flee to the hills now. OK ... now that it's just us ... One of the catchphrases of the series is simple and direct: "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." Ned Stark learned it last season, and with Sunday's episode we learned (as readers of the novels know) that main characters biting the dust is sometimes the rule, not the exception. |
