In the Throne of Games, You Den or You Why (or Something)
Did you miss the first episode of Game of Thrones‘ first season? If so, what the fuck is wrong with you? It aired more than a year ago. It’s been on DVD and Blu-ray for months. Anyways, if you’ve not seen the first episode, you could do worse than watch this Toronto improv group’s recap. It’s honestly quite accurate, except that this Joffrey is significantly more likable than the show’s Joffrey. Thanks to Matze Neinderandere for the tip.
