50 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Your Favorite TV Shows

Game of Thrones is the show that made dragons and medieval politics cool. It is an adaptation of a fantasy book series that became so popular that it started outpacing the release of new books in the series (what many people would say was an utter disaster). But I digress; this show was as epic as some blockbuster movies, just broken up into episodes.

This show launched the careers of many of its younger and less experienced cast members, so it’s not surprising that their acting skills developed as the show went on. So says Kit Harington (Jon Snow), who apparently was blackmailed (in jest) by the crew with threats to release the rejected pilot episode with his shocking acting any time he complained.
