I was one of those until my girlfriend forced me to start watching it last fall. I always thought I'd hate it, but I ended up watching the whole series and now I'm excited for the last season.
Many people in my family watched it pretty regularly and sometimes had discussions during dinner. I figured I’d take what characters I know or names I’m familiar with and see how well I know them without ever watching an episode of the show. As you’d expect, I did horrible :) but I’m gonna get those five points dang it!
Yeah except the new Daario is like waaaay better. Pretty boy the had in his first appearance... Not so much. Nice to look at but didn't fit the character.
Yeah, that was the strangest casting change ever for me. Like, they picked someone that didn't even look similar to the original guy AT ALL. Not even the same basic hair color. They usually at least try to be a little convincing with the transition! That being said, the second guy was way better in the role.
I think "Khaleesi" is a title, like "Queen." Dany is definitely the show's most famous khaleesi, but there are others (recall the episode in which she is sent to live among the other khaleesi whose husbands have died). I think you're right about Reek though, which, like the Hound, is a nickname specific to one person.
I think that technically the name reek has been used for multiple people. When theon greyjoy took winterfell Ramsay Bolton pretended to be a slave called reek, and if I remember correctly from the book, I think Ramsay had other "reeks" before he captured and flayed Theon.
Surprised Littlefinger has only three minutes more screen time than Ned Stark considering he was killed off first season and Littlefinger has been pretty central throughout.
Alternate spellings for Margaery or however it is spelled. I tried Marjorie to no avail. We never see their names written in the show, making this very difficult. If this were about the books, then maybe be a bit more strict about the spelling, but it's not....
What's the "time-stamp" for this information? I find it hard to believe that Daario has had more overall screen time than Missandei or Grey Worm. But I could be wrong.
i put in Melisandre and i even double checked the spelling on google and it wouldn't accept it ... i did forget Tywin and Daenerys ... lol ... how i forgot the mother of dragons i have no idea
I wonder if Arya gets credit for screen time when she is using a mask to be Walder Frey, given that it's obviously the actual actor who plays Walder Frey.
I literally paused an episode of GOT to do this quiz, on a scene where Cersei is grilling Jamie (about dead Joffrey). And still, somehow, forgot Jamie.
I was surprised that Olenna Tyrell hadn't more screentime. Diana Rigg's performance was magnificent. She was so memorable in every scene that she was in that it seemed like she was on-screen far more than she was.
