 GoT is out of a weird world, may yet evolve. Part of its appeal is its unpredictability. No one really knows where the story is headed because Martin is still adding books to his series and he's not afraid to kill beloved characters.―
 "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die, There is no middle ground."
                                                        "Winter is coming."

'Game of Thrones' recap: Bloodshed galore in shocking season finale.

All these people are done with 'Game of Thrones.' Are you?
GoT has continued to grow its audience and remains HBO's highest-rated series despite its controversial portrayals of violence, rape and sex, which simultaneously draw and depart from George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" book series.

The final episode may have seemed truly extraordinary as armies were torn asunder. If you step back, the “Game of Thrones” Season 5 finale shows us that Westeros really isn’t all that different from our own lives.
‘Game of Thrones’: It ended just as it would in real life.

"The Man Who Owned Broadway"

An American entertainer , playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, dancer and producer. He was considered the father of American musical comedy. A remarkable talent who displayed  theatrical longevity, appearing in films until the 1930s, and continuing to perform as a headline artist until 1940.   His name was George Michael Cohan , born in 1878 in Providence, Rhode Island, to Irish Catholic parents.
