Can You Finish These 'Game Of Thrones' Quotes?

by Aramide Tinubu

If you are a diehard fan of HBO's epic series Game of Thrones, then you've probably spent more time online looking for clues about the show and digging up theories from the books than you care to admit. Game of Thrones is a complex narrative about power, family and deception: The show follow powerful families as they fight to the death for the coveted Iron Throne and to be the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. As a GoT fan, I've spent a few episodes cowering in a corner trying desperately to both seek out and look away from the screen. Showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss seem to take a great deal of pleasure in shocking their audience, and quite frankly, I'm not sure how I've lasted this long.

Despite all of the gore, terror, violence and mystery on the show, though, I must admit that it's the amazing dialogue that keeps me coming back for more. From Cersei Lannister's scheming commands to Lord Petyr Baelish's serpent-like murmurings, the words on GoT are often more powerful than the actions. Game of Thrones, will go down in history as one of the most iconic television shows of all time, so, if you're a true fan, you should be able to recognize certain quotes.
