Why We Keep Watching Game of Thrones

Join Gabrielle, new team member Charee, and Hadas in our Common Room!

Topical Dish:
-Pacific Rim sequel date
-George RR Martin Screenwriting Grant for New Mexico residents
-Snowpiercer release
--Margaux reviewed Snowpiercer when it came out in France. Read it here
-Mockingjay trailer

Main Discussion: Why we keep watching Game of Thones: A purely TV watcher perspective.
-When so many beloved characters are discarded or treated brutally, when graphic violence is portrayed on a regular basis, and when gratuitous sex scenes are presented what keeps us coming back to watch HBO's adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire series?

- We had some technical difficulties and some topics were not covered in the second recording. An additional text post will be released next week with a summary of the missing conversation.
