I'm Literally Terrified to Watch Thrones

           Game of Thrones is somehow one of those shows that has captured my heart! I know that the books and the show are known for brutally killing characters and doing the unthinkable. Still I can't wait for each new episode. It's like a horror movie with lots of gore, you know the horror to come but can't look away!
          How do they trap you into liking characters that you know are going to be wiped out?  Why is it that some of our favorite characters are the ones we hate? How is it that you can overlook the worst flaw and decisions of the characters you like the most?
          So tonight with half the nation or more, I will be on the edge of my seat to see what happens with Jon Snow and Daenerys. But I fear the worst. I foresee see death, stolen babies, and lots of tears! With just a couple of episodes left in this last season, I foresee beloved characters dropping like flies. If anyone makes it out alive to take the throne, we will be lucky. Theories all over the internet guess who will live and who they will love. But in the fight against the white walkers I am unsure if any will live. We may see a white walker king. There maybe be no physical throne left for anyone to sit upon. One internet theorist, matpat from Film theory, says that humanity doesn't deserve to live. He says we have fought petty battles instead of coming together to face a threat. In a sense he is correct. Although it is hard to think that about characters we have come to love as unworthy of life. 
          I plan to have lots of tissue and my hubby to cling to for tonight's episode. I just wonder if when the show ends if I will be a sad, pessimistic, and depressed mess. If everyone I love dies will I regret watching the show in the first place? In a way watching these characters die will be like mourning the loss of an actual loved one. I just hope I am comforted by the time we got to spend together.
          Either way, however the show ends, Games of Thrones will be talked about for years to come. George R.R. Martin has certainly left a legacy in this world!
