If you have had the pleasure of watching Game of Thrones, you know that it is a combination of graphic murders, fights, political intrigue and some nudity. You might not come away with your emotions completely intact at the end of an episode. No one wins in the Game of Thrones, and while watching, you either win or you die along with these other stages...
1. You will never find the opening credits boring, no matter how long they may take.
You always find something new to love about the credits.
2. You know the next hour of your life is going to be EXCELLENT.
It is going to be full of some great moments. There are dragons and fights to be seen.
3. There are so many characters that you can't keep them all straight.
Who is married to who now? Who fights for which King now? It is always changing. We know the main characters and then there are those that we just know as that guy that always is around.
4. Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety ... what is going on ... anxiety, anxiety, anxiety.
There is always an anxious buildup to a scene. Then the scene happens and we are left wondering what just happened.
5. Jon Snow.
Jon Snow seems to not really know what is going on. We still can't help but love and root for him. Also, no one can give that smoldering look like he can.
6. We all want to be Daenerys, aka Khaleesi, the Mother of Dragons, and so on.
She has defied all odds. Her family was completely taken out, yet she has risen from the ashes.
7. So. Much. Nudity.
There are just as many if not more scenes without some article of clothing on, as there are with clothing.
8. There is a character that you just don't know how to feel about anymore. Are they good? Are they bad?
Like Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. I always wonder if he actually has a side or he is just out for his own wellbeing.
9. Then there is a nice scene finally.
Oh look, the characters are actually happy for once. That's nice Sansa and Jon are reunited after many years.
10. But wait...
11. Oh wait, another torture scene.
No one knows quite how to torture like Ramsay Bolton does. He finds pleasure in others pain, he and Joffrey would get along great. Who would torture who first?
12. All our joy is being shattered right now.
Each episode something is torn from us. A couple that fell in love, a family ripped apart, GoT knows just what buttons to push.
13. A fantastic character just died. Why? Just why?
When Robb, his wife and unborn baby were killed, I cried. The fact that Catelyn and Robb were defenseless and betrayed just added to the episode.
14. Oh wait, we are glad that character finally died.
There was literal joy when Joffrey got what he deserved. People all around cried tears of joy.
15. You really don't know what's going on ... so many emotions.
There is always a strong mixture of emotions. We go from happy to sad to angry all in a matter of minutes.
16. You start to tweet desperately to convey all your emotions.
Get on Twitter during an episode and everyone is feeling the same thing you are. We are all trying to figure out what is going on.
17. You have a newfound fear and respect for George R.R. Martin.
How does one man write the things he does? What is going on in that head of his?
18. Winter is coming.
Each season we are reminded that winter is coming. Well winter is here with a vengeance.
19. Who will take the Iron Throne?
We still do not know what family will "rightfully" take the throne.
20. You realize that no one will win in the game of thrones.
After six seasons we might finally get that no one wins in the game of thrones. We play along with the characters and when someone we love dies it's actually devastating.
Winter is coming, and when you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die. We all know that.
