"Game of Thrones" is the action-packed HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series "A Song of Ice and Fire." "Game of Thrones" has changed television by breaking multiple rules that TV traditionally and unofficially stick to: notions that the main character is always safe because they drive the story and the show wouldn't be able to continue without them, the wide range of plots and sub-plots, the unpredictability of loyalties and intentions of characters, or the rise of the multi-faceted anti-hero. "Game of Thrones" has set itself apart from the competition and compels fans in a way that is sometimes extreme. Here are 12 times when you did the most because you just love the show that much.
