fact
The creators of the Game of Thrones TV series, Benioff and Weiss, had no prior experience in television and only limited experience writing movie scripts. Their original pilot episode was so poorly received at test screenings that HBO demanded that they re-shoot 90% of it.

Sophie Turner is HUGE right now. The 23-year-old actress became a household name on the HBO blockbuster Game of Thrones and since then she’s hit the big screen in X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men Dark Phoenix, playing Jean Grey.
She’s also married to singer Joe Jonas, and her profile is bigger than ever right now. But there’s still a lot you probably don’t know about the woman who brought the unforgettable character of Sansa Stark to life.
Here are 10 facts about her.
Although Turner is now a huge Hollywood star, she comes from a working-class family in Chesterton, Warwickshire, England. Her mother was a teacher and her father worked for a company that delivered pallets to warehouses.
She was well-prepared for all the mud and muck on the set of Game of Thrones. Turner said, “My childhood was pretty fun. We had pigsties, barns, and a paddock, and used to muck around in the mud.”
Her big-screen debut was in 2013 with the independent thriller Another Me. Her co-stars included Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Claire Forlani, and Rhys Ifans.
In order to land the role of Jean Grey in the X-Men movies, Turner had to beat out many other actresses who were considered for the role, including Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld, Saoirse Ronan, and Margot Robbie.

Turner takes over the Jean Grey role from actress Famke Janssen, and the two surprisingly have a few things in common. Neither are natural redheads and they’re both exactly one inch taller than the actor who plays their love interest, Cyclops.
Tye Sheridan is 5’8” and Sophie Turner is 5’9”. James Marsden is 5’10”, while Janssen is 5’11”
Turner and her Game of Thrones co-star Maisie Williams are very close offscreen. So much so that they have matching tattoos. They both have “07.08.09” tattoos, which is the date they both learned they were cast on the hit show.
No, direwolves don’t really exist – but during the filming of GOT, Turner fell so in love with the Northern Inuit dog playing her direwolf on the show that she ended up adopting the pup, whose name is Zunni.
It’s hard to get away from social media these days, and that even applies to big Hollywood stars. Turner and Joe Jonas had a few friends on Instagram and Jonas decided to direct message her for a chat one evening. And the rest is history…
The final season of GOT received mixed reviews from fans and critics, and Turner took the negative criticism very personally. She took it so hard that she revealed it had caused her major depression and in the spring of 2019 she would take a break from acting.
Turner has been interested in acting from a very young age. She joined a well-known children’s theater company when she was only 3-years-old.
She’s a lifer!

Do you really think Game of Thrones will ever end? HBO has made WAY too much money because of it.
Winter is coming… for decades!
The post Funny Memes About the 1% of People That Haven’t Seen ‘Game of Thrones’ appeared first on UberFacts.
Emilia Clarke has previously revealed that she had two life-threatening aneurysms while filming the hit show Game of Thrones. Emilia kept her health struggles a secret from fans for years. But now that her experiences are public knowledge, she’s using her platform for good.
Emilia started a charity, SameYou, to increase access to rehabilitative services after brain injury and stroke.
A Game of Thrones fan on Reddit started a fundraising campaign for SameYou in honor of Emilia. Over 5000 fans contributed to the campaign to raise over $130,000 in just two weeks.
After Emilia heard about the fundraiser, she posted a thank you video on Instagram.
“I’m so incredibly moved and blown away and grateful,” she said. “[The fundraising campaign] has made my day, week, month, year, decade, and I couldn’t think of a more beautiful way to wave goodbye to the Mother of Dragons than with this step towards making brain injury sufferers feel less alone.”
SameYou has officially surpassed its campaign goal.
The incredible support of Elle Ellaria, @reddit’s r/FreeFolk and Emilia’s fans worldwide means their campaign has raised over £100,000 for SameYou. Thank you so, so much. As Emilia says, you guys are simply the best!

The founder of the fundraiser, Redditor elle_ellaria, says she never expected her fundraiser to raise so much money.
“I truly thought this fundraiser peaked around 35k, so seeing it hit 100k and keep climbing just fills my heart with joy,” she told BuzzFeed News.
The fundraiser turned into a magical way to celebrate the end of Game of Thrones while also helping others.
A second fundraiser raised money in honor of Kit Harington for Mencap, a UK-based charity for learning disabilities. That fundraiser has raised over $53,000.

Game of Thrones is over, and most of the show’s fans are incredibly disappointed. Naturally, a lot of them have turned to other shows and the internet to try to find some kind of closure.
*spoilers* You have been warned.
One of the most shocking/frustrating moments of the last season was the second-to-last episode, The Bells. In a fit of somewhat inexplicable rage, Daenerys Stormborn and her dragon, Drogon, completely torch King’s Landing even after the citizens of the city had already surrendered. Dani goes on to slaughter thousands of innocent men, women, and children, along with her entire character arc.
The insane thing is, this carnage was predicted by The Simpsons back in 2017! It’s as if the show’s creators knew this was coming.
In this episode, “Serfsons” you’ll see Marge, Homer, Bart, and Lisa looking down over their city dressed in medieval clothing.
“Look,” says Bart, pointing out the massive red dragon burning down the city, “the dragon is burning our village.”
“I love our life,” Homer says.
Easy for Homer to say. He’s a cartoon! When this GoT episode aired we were all like, “I hate my life!” No? Just me?
Anyway, moving on. After the showed aired, Twitter immediately clapped back:
The simpsons wtf !!!!

It seems The Simpsons have a knack for predicting the future. 18 times, actually! Like when the US beat Sweden in curling at the Olympic games (Episode “Boy Meets Curl”) and the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack (Episode “$pringfield”).

Game of Thrones was one of the greatest television shows ever made, both in terms of story/cast and in terms of the sheer scope the money spent per episode.
It’s last season, however, was… disappointing to say the least.

Alternate ending: The Night King wasn’t defeated in episode 3. Daenerys, Jon and the others are now in King’s Landing and Winter is finally here. The snow indicates that the NK is almost there.

Alternate ending to Game of Thrones:
Everyone dies. A lone direwolf sits on the iron throne. Cersei, now a white walker, continues to haunt the castle, wandering the halls, plotting against the wolf.

Good job everybody. I’m officially impressed.
Now then… what will the Game of Thrones spinoff series be? Arya on the high seas? A prequel set thousands of years in the past?
Tell us HBO! We want to know!!!
The post These Alternate Endings for “Game of Thrones” Are Easily Better Than What We Got appeared first on UberFacts.
Stephen King is the undisputable master of macabre, and one of the most brilliant storytellers of our times. He’s also a huge fan of Game of Thrones, and decided to share his own theory about how the show should have wrapped up prior to the airing of the show’s series finale.
Considering he’s a guy who has authored over 50 novels and is legit buddies with George RR Martin, it’s probably worth listening to what he has to say.
Suppose–just suppose, now–that Jon and Dani BOTH died (along with Cersei, of course). Suppose–just suppose–that a certain little man with a big heart ended up sitting on the Iron Throne?
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 6, 2019
And before anybody has anything to say, King already has the clap back ready…
Of course for years some people have told me I don’t know how to end a story. I call bullshit on that, but everyone has an opinion.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 6, 2019
Now, the internet had a few thoughts… and this is earlier on when Cersei was still alive, so there was one prediction that King responded to.
First, the tweet…
I’m thinking just maybe Sansa Stark might show up and Kill Cersei as she I feel has the most history and hate for this woman
— jules rules (@jazzyjules69) May 6, 2019
Then King’s response…
That would be good, but man, Sansa is COLD. https://t.co/EjN69pUwYS
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 6, 2019
We know that’s bullshit now that Sansa stayed put in Winterfell and Arya almost got killed by Dany’s and Drogon’s reign of fire and blood.
Still there are some other crazy theories that have no basis in reality that are fun to read…
Some thing Arya will still be the one…
Dani will ascend to the iron throne. In the final moments of the show it will be revealed that it’s actually Arya wearing her face.

And some want Baratheon’s bastard to ascend…

Some had praise for King’s ending…
Stephen King doesn’t know how to end a story? The man who wrote the most elegant ending possible for the Dark Tower series? The man who gave us Doctor Sleep and the resolution to a 30-year story cycle? Yeah, that’s bullshit. Mr. King, even your Tweets have satisfying endings.

So, Game of Thrones just aired its series finale, and much like the rest of this last season, it had fans all up in their feelings. Some people loved it, a lot of folks hated it, and I personally felt the whole thing was very “meh.”
Without further ado, let’s see what the rest of the world had to say about it.
