Benioff and Weiss have set an incredibly high standard for writing. I'm inspired by their work every season. I’m gonna have to up my game!

Not sure, what I currently expect from a Telltale GoT game. This is one series which throws as much sex, violence and misery on the screen as it can get away with it. No amount of sad puppy eyes reaction shots can cover that up. it is as if suddenly the 1979 movie Caligula was the template to copy.
