Head to Head: tHe real-life ramsay Bolton vs tHeon Greyjoy, if you will

-

1. Rate the show out of 10:

11 (yeah, mine goes beyond 10).

2. Who is your favourite character?

I’d tell you but then George RR Martin might kill him/her, so I’d rather keep it a secret.

3. How many episodes have you watched and how long did they take to complete?

I binge-watched the first two seasons in five days — so, an average of four hours per day after work. I was a proud binge-watcher. By the time Season 3 was out, I was watching the episodes as soon as they were available online.

4. What has been the standout scene for you?

I have a couple of standout scenes, actually, but if I need to select one, I’d still select two. One is the court trial of Tyrion. That scene is beyond intense. The other scene is where Cersei Lannister burns the Sept of Baelor with wildfire. It just goes to show that even with the mother of dragons on the show, she’s still the queen of badass out there.

5. Why do you think this show has become a global hit?

The plot and storytelli­ng — with crazy suspense and twists — along with the blend of brilliant music themes and fantastic casting are what make it an epic show.

6. When a season ends, what feeling are you consumed with?

I have a ‘WTF’ moment (good/bad) and a crazy blood rush after each season finale. Then I feel like I have no purpose in life until the next season is back.

7. Your reaction when you hear people haven’t seen the show?

At first, I feel like those people should cease to exist on earth, but then I think that, for them, the night is dark and full of terrors, so I don’t need to do much.

8. Fill in the blanks: “My life will... when they announce the end of Game of Thrones.”

My life will become one of a White Walker with Tyrion Lannister when they announce the end of Game of Thrones.
