I found this Wiki to be invaluable over the course of the series; it's easy to navigate, links you to historical info from the books that the show assumes you already know, and gives great breakdowns of the episodes, the characters, and the world they live in.Before this thread fades out in coming days, I wanted to thank everyone who has posted in all these GoT threads for years. Having just started watching the series in January and reading about it extensively since then, these threads were enormously helpful in getting me up to speed on the show, bouncing ideas around, and giving me other angles to think about. It's been a lot of fun.
I also found myself lost in it for hours at a time just following one link to another, so be wary!
