The Problem Now That G.O.T. Has Finished…

It’s the inevitable “Let’s write a blog that somehow works a Game Of Thrones reference in and jump on the newsjacking bandwagon!” blog.

But it’s probably not the blog you were expecting…

You see, this isn’t going to be one of those “20 things I learned about from Game Of Thrones” sort of post.

(Don’t worry, #NoSpoilers just in case you are one of the many who are still catching up with it).

The Problem

The series of 73 episodes across 8 seasons, which started on TV back in April 2011, drew to its conclusion with the last ever episode in May 2019. And by coming to a close, it now poses a small problem for some people.

No, I’m not talking about those who were quite to express their disappointment with the way the story ended, nor those who followed the show from the start and now have no more episodes to look forward to.

I am talking about a problem for a very different set of people indeed.

It has been hard not to notice, especially over the past 2 or 3 years, that every time a new season started there was a steady increase in the number of people who rushed to their preferred social media platforms to boast to the world that “I have never seen an episode of Game of Thrones”.
