GOT Final


When I first saw the Game of Thrones TV series in class, I could not believe what an amazing job HBO did to turn it into a TV series. I am starting to watch the series now because I loved the book and the way the series is made is just unbelievable. The HBO series does a great job with going along with the book and how each character dressed and resembles the house they were born into. The one scene that caught my attention and which I thought was different was when Khal and Dany were getting married. To me HBO made it seem like Khal had all the power and looked like he was raping her. This made me a little uncomfortable because in the show she was scared and crying and in the book it was different and seemed like she knew this is what she was born to do. In the show you can sense that Dany does not want to this to happen, she is scared for her life and her brother is forcing her to do this. During the scene I think HBO does a good job on setting up the characters of Dany and Khal. I had the same image as Khal being a big, strong guy who looked like a badass warrior. Overall, I think HBO did an amazing job setting up the series and having all the different settings and pulling the book into the series. The whole episode got me really into the series and now I will be watching it and seeing how else the book and the series are.
