So I may or may not be in full on “Obsessed with Game of Thrones” mode the last few weeks, which has caused me to scour YouTube for anything related to the mythology. This morning I stumbled across a video from comicbookgirl19 who gives a detailed rundown of the Targaryens history, and does so in an entertaining fashion, accompanied by her co-host Robot, who is a huge fan of Khal Drogo.
This video is great for fans of the show who are not familiar with the books or even those who have read the books and want a refresher. It provides plenty of backstory without ruining anything upcoming. She takes the Targaryen story all the way up to end of Season 2, so assuming you’ve seen that far, nothing will be spoiled for you and this knowledge should actually make the show more enjoyable…
The 2nd video in the series, focusing on the Lannister family has not yet been completed, but we will be sure to let you know once it’s done.
Comicbookgirl19 has become so popular over the last year that she is looking to make this more of a full-time gig, and get more material out in a timely fashion. In order to do this she is following in the footsteps of Veronica Mars in the ever-changing world of viewer funded entertainment. This is the future, the audience getting a say in what gets greenlit instead of the studios. In this case we have a 2-person team producing a show that people enjoy. If you’re among those people check out their Kickstarter and help fund the future of the show…
