Game of Thrones: il riassunto della prima stagione... in una canzone

Andrà in onda domani sera sulla HBO negli Stati Uniti la premiere della seconda stagione di Game of Thrones.

Quale modo migliore per fare un recap dell'intera prima stagione che con una canzone? Il video sottostante riassume tutto in soli tre minuti, sulle note di una canzone scritta da Jason Inman e Chris Chapman su musiche di Scott Allan Knost.

E' anche disponibile una versione... senza spoiler (che dura la metà):

Ecco il testo della canzone:

In the Game of Thrones you win or you die
I really hope I win
In the Game of Thrones you win or you die
So let the games begin

Ned Stark of Winterfell found some puppies,
Gave one to each of his kids
Bran saw the Queen doing her brother,
He paid quite the price for that peep show
The King said to Ned, come be my Hand,
And John Snow, the bastard, ran to the wall
Across the sea Daenerys married Conan
The barbarian not the host

In the Game of Thrones you win or you die
I really hope I win
In the Game of Thrones you win or you die
So let the games begin

At King's Landing, Arya plays with swords
She wants to fight like a man
In the north, the Wall keeps the zombies at bay
Jon Snow finds it hard to be alone
Ned's wife captures Tyrion the dwarf
Blames him for what happened to Bran
Tyrion plays his tricks and escapes the Eyrie
He's the best actor on the show

Sansa, the ginger, is betrothed to Joffrey
He's a spoiled little brat
The king gets drunk and goes out hunting
He get's pwned by a boar
Ned finds the Queen's kids are all from incest
Joffrey's uncle is his dad
The Starks are in trouble when Ned gets betrayed,
By the mayor of Baltimore

Joffrey becomes king, but his uncles want the throne
Tyrion wins a Golden Globe
Ned is locked up, and loses his head,
In the North Robb becomes king
Jon Snow marched north of the Wall,
It's still really cold
Conan dies, and Daenerys cries
When her baby dragons sing

Per la seconda stagione sono previsti 10 episodi.

Nel cast dei nuovi episodi, oltre agli attori “sopravvissuti” alla prima stagione (ma dovremmo rivedere anche alcuni personaggi deceduti), vi sono Stephen Dillane come Stannis Baratheon, Carice van Houten come Melisandre, Liam Cunningham come Davos, Natalie Dormer come Margaery Tyrell e Gwendoline Christie come Brienne.

In Italia la serie è stata trasmessa, con il titolo Il trono di spade, su Sky Cinema 1 HD.
