Game of Thrones is the name of the massively popular HBO TV show created after the Song of Fire and Ice book series. Written by George R.R. Marten, he has become an icon for fantasy novelists and the concept that no-one is safe. Known for its incredibly story, brutality and plot twisting events, this series gained massive popularity seemingly overnight after being adapted to a live-action platform. With stunning locations the show has been filmed in Northern Ireland, Croatia, Iceland, Morocco, Spain, Malta, Scotland, and the United States. Premiering on April 17, 2011, it has continued to gain fans for its five seasons, with at least two more planned. Set in the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, the game of thrones depicts several ruling families from the seven kingdoms and their back-stabbing, manipulative and brutal efforts to secure the iron throne for themselves. These families include members from House Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, Greyjoy, Targaryen, Tyrell, Tully, Bolton and more to come. Awards granted to this show include several Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series for its first four seasons, Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series in the category of Drama, Peabody Award, and a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation in both Long Form and Short Form.
Joffrey Baratheon, is a anti-fan favorite that we all loved to hate. During his reign over Westeros he enacted a brutal and tyrannical rule over his people. Ever self-serving and prone to a violence fetish, we were all glad when his bloody reign was cut short by the ever present justice of George R.R. Martin. Most notably, during his reign it as made known that he was mot the son, and thus rightful heir of King Robert Baratheon. Instead, he was the product of the incesteous relations of the Queen Cersei and her bother Jamie Lannister. Tormenting the Stark family, his painful death was ever too quick to replay the atrocities he committed in life.
