If we’ve learned anything from HBO’s fantasy drama “Game of Thrones,” it’s that the world of Westeros is filled with a seemingly unending supply of interesting characters; so many, in fact, that we wouldn’t dare try to remember all of their names. Of course, we’ve also learned that you shouldn’t get too attached to any of them, because there’s a good chance they’re going to die, as fans of the show found out the hard way over the course of the first two seasons.
But that has only made the series even more engaging, as it masterfully juggles the many different characters, storylines and locations within George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series to the point that it’s easy to see why Martin’s novels have earned such a rabid fanbase over the years. From the rich mythology to its amazing ensemble cast (including the award-winning Peter Dinklage), “Game of Thrones” is one of the best shows on television, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone that disagrees.
To help feed your addiction, we’ve compiled all of our “Game of Thrones”-related coverage below, including interviews with author George R.R. Martin and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, a review of the first two seasons on Blu-ray, and updates from the show on our Game of Thrones Blog.

It’s one of those epsides that made even more people take notice that this was a show that deserved our attention.
