The COMPLETE Game of Thrones Recap | CRAM IT
VO: Dan Murrell
Written by: Lon Harris and Dan Murrell
Produced by: Billy Patterson
Supervising Producer: Max Dionne
Editor: Randy Whitlock
Assistant Editor: Emin Bassavand

[@screenjunkies]

Note from the narrator: In putting together the final script, I mistakenly switched one Targaryen killed during Robert's Rebellion with another Targaryen killed during Robert's Rebellion and said that Elia Martell was married to King Aerys II when she was actually married to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. My humble apologies - hopefully this genealogical mistake won't detract from the rest of the recap. - Dan

Does anyone realise how much editing it took to make this video. This is the best source for got recap rn. Obviously, they can't capture the intensities of the events in such short time, but good job you guys!!!

[@kirbytrax8326]

@Jose Ruiz You should watch them. While the video does give the most important stuff to know, the episodes are still really good.

[@motherintoronto]

@@kirbytrax8326 My attention span is close to that of a cocker spaniel. This will have to suffice. The show is interesting but I can't manage to sit through any episodes. I end up painting my nails or tidying my room or on twitter. I'm not interested in most of the characters and that makes it a chore to sit through.

[@kirbytrax8326]

InandaroundTO I guess it’s slower than most shows and being 50 minutes episodes doesn’t help. Anyway this last season feels way faster than the previous. Just so you know, you might like it.
