Game of Thrones

I really have to give the GoT producers credit. At probably no or little cost, they have managed to get websites to carry daily/weekly updates on the goings on on the show. I watched maybe 4 episodes some years ago and wasn't interested. Still not interested. But I have to tell you, I'm really fed up reading show updates on seemingly every website I visit.

And readers/watchers LOVE to talk about it!

There are two more books coming - and a final set of episodes probably almost two years from now!

This last season and last penultimate season finale were the most watched!

More to come!

I am one of the online readers...I find Game of Thrones a healthy diversion from the reality of tRumps daily ongoing news abuse.

And the public is interested in GOT.

I couldn't care less about sports, and I just skip over those sections, but I don't complain whenever the media covers every occasion of grown men chasing around a ball.
