After Volunteering for the Night's Watch, Samwell Tarly Leaps Forward on List of Most Likely To Die Next Game of Thrones Predictions. Content warning: Spoilers ahead Washington, DC, April 25, 2019 – Samwell Tarly may have been safe after killing a White Walker and stealing books from the Citadel, but volunteering for the Night’s Watch during the upcoming Battle of Winterfell may be the nail in the coffin for this beloved character. Last week, Samwell Tarly was last in our list of mostly likely to die next, with only 3% of Game of Thrones fans thinking he is likely to die next. This week, one in ten Game of Thrones fans (10%) thinks he is likely to be killed, a seven-point increase since last episode. While Daenerys Targaryen is relatively safe this week (6%), one or both of her dragons are believed to be in danger. Sixteen percent of Game of Thrones fans think her dragons will become extinct, a 6-point increase since last episode (10%). Jaime Lannister (17%), Theon Greyjoy (15%), Jorah Mormont (14%) and The Hound (14%) continue to top the list of mostly likely to die next. The number of Game of Thrones fans who think Jaime Lannister is going to become a White Walker has doubled since the beginning of the season. During the pre-season poll, 8% of Game of Thrones fans believed that Jaimie Lannister was going to become a White Walker next. After the second episode, 16% of fans predict that The Kingslayer is going to join the army of the undead. Theon Greyjoy (19%) and The Hound (17%) both went up four-point since last week and continue to be at the top of the list of who is most likely going to become a White Walker. Despite Game of Thrones fans losing confidence in her last week, Daenerys Targaryen jumps up seven points to 20%, ranking second on the list of who is most likely to sit on the Iron Throne. Regardless of her gains, Daenerys Targaryen continues to fall behind Jon Snow. A third (33%) of Game of Thrones fans think Jon Snow mostly likely will end up on the Iron Throne, ruling over Westeros. Game of Thrones fans also continue to think Jon Snow should be the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms (41%). Sixteen percent of fans think Daenerys Targaryen should be the one to rule on the Iron Thrones. One thing is clear: The Night King and his army of White Walkers have arrived in Winterfell. Who will die? Who will become undead? Tune in this Sunday to find out. 1.

For the survey, a sample of 1,005 adults 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii were interviewed online in English. The sample includes 267 adults who watch Game of Thrones. For the wave fielded after episode one, a sample of 1,005 adults 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii were interviewed online in English between April 15-15, 2019. The sample includes 303 adults who watch Game of Thrones. For the pre-season wave, a sample of 1,006 adults 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii were interviewed online in English between April 4-5, 2019. The sample includes 298 adults who watch Game of Thrones. The sample for this study was randomly drawn from Ipsos’ online panel (see link below for more info on “Access Panels and Recruitment”), partner online panel sources, and “river” sampling (see link below for more info on the Ipsos “Ampario Overview” sample method) and does not rely on a population frame in the traditional sense. Ipsos uses fixed sample targets, unique to each study, in drawing a sample. After a sample has been obtained from the Ipsos panel, Ipsos calibrates respondent characteristics to be representative of the U.S. Population using standard procedures such as raking-ratio adjustments. The source of these population targets is U.S. Census 2016 American Community Survey data. The sample drawn for this study reflects fixed sample targets on demographics. Post-hoc weights were made to the population characteristics on gender, age, race/ethnicity, region, and education. Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online polls. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. Where figures do not sum to 100, this is due to the effects of rounding. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all respondents. Ipsos calculates a design effect (DEFF) for each study based on the variation of the weights, following the formula of Kish (1965). This study had a credibility interval adjusted for design effect of the following (n=1,005, DEFF=1.5, adjusted Confidence Interval=+/-5.0 percentage points).

    Hbo Premieres the Third Season of Game of Thrones

    HBO PREMIERES THE THIRD SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES The new season will premiere simultaneously with the United States on March 31st Miami, FL, March 18, 2013 – The battle for the Iron Throne among the families who rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros continues in the third season of the HBO original series, Game of Thrones. Winner of two Emmys® 2011 and six Golden Globes® 2012, the series is based on the famous fantasy books “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. HBO Latin America will premiere the third season simultaneously with the United States on March 31st. Many of the events that occurred in the first two seasons will culminate violently, with several of the main characters confronting their destinies. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn. The Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces, yet Robb Stark –King of the North– still controls much of the South, having yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder (new character portrayed by Ciaran Hinds) has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

Through the analysis of the similarities between their lives, this project attempts to prove how both fictional characters are based and influenced by Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Moreover, there is very little previous literature about the life of Elizabeth of York, obscuring and undermining her important role in putting an end to the Wars of the Roses. Thus, besides proving the relationship between these historical characters and the fictional ones, the aim of this paper is also to emphasise the historical importance given to Elizabeth of York in Game of Thrones by means of using her as a main source of inspiration for two of the most important an relevant characters of the series. As a result, this work also intends to prove how Game of Thrones demolishes gender boundaries by using characteristics of both Henry VII and Elizabeth of York to shape the characters of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.

  • Game of Thrones Analysis

    Game of Thrones Analysis

    Game of Thrones Transmedia Storytelling Analysis Ott Vatter BFM Introduction Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. The unique transmedia experience was produced by New York based creative marketing agency Campfire. This paper is a transmedia analysis of the project Game of Thrones, written by Ott Vatter for the course Transmedia Storytelling, taught by Dr. Renira Gambarato. The course is part of the Baltic Film School’s Crossmedia Production Master program. The paper follows the methodology suggested by Dr. Renira Gambarato in the text “How to Analyze Transmedia Narratives” and the main goal of the analysis is to understand in which way transmedia storytelling strategies were implemented in the project, evaluating its strengths, weaknesses and trying to suggest possible improvements. As the TV series Game of Thrones has been accomplished with major success, it would take far more than 15 pages to analyze every related extension, so I with this essay I am going to discuss what I consider most relevant. I will try to do it as objectively as possible. Premise and purpose The purpose of the transmedia project is to promote the adaption of the fantasy novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" written by George R. R. Martin to the TV series Game of Thrones. The fundamental purpose of the TV show is to entertain, which it does very well through morally ambiguous characters.
