Game of Thrones: Spoiler: Everyone Dies
Last night I watched Game of Thrones Season 3 Episodes 2-3. This blog post isn't about those specific episodes as much as it's about what happened when I browsed The Game of Thrones Wiki today to understand a few scenes I was confused about. The pages that detail individual episodes are great. They provide lots of information about what's happening— including critical details that are sometimes really not obvious in the TV screenplay— without spoiling what happens later in the story. When you click a link to read more about an interesting character, though, watch out!
The "bios" on individual characters all have opening sentences like, "Person X did A and B until they were killed by C during D." I clicked on pages for 3 characters and all 3 of them had spoilers like that right at the top.
At first I was frustrated about this. The wiki writers could have done much better to not spoil the series for people who are just watching it for the first time! But then I considered what anybody who hasn't been living under a rock for the past 10 years already knows: In The Game of Thrones basically everybody dies.
I'm not even the first to think about that. Millions of fans have been frustrated about it.
I had fun looking up memes about how "Everybody Dies" in Game of Thrones. I've included in this blog post some of my favorites.
No, I won't tell you which three characters I clicked on and learned are goners. Unlike seemingly everyone else, I won't spoil the story for you! ...Except to remind you, of course, that basically everyone dies. 🤣
