Description
''Game of Thrones is more than a TV show, it's a cultural phenomenon.While we all wait in anticipation of season 6, we're taking a look back at the ways in which this series almost NEVER HAPPENED. Between the sheer volume of each novel and sex and violence embedded in every chapter, George R.R. Martin's famous book series hit quite a few speed bumps on its trip between paperback and the big screen. It was a dedication of the film runners and directors, meticulous casting choices and a commitment to the authenticity of the story that ultimately carried Game of Thrones into its position as pop-culture masterpiece.''
