10 TV Shows You Didn't Know Had Weird Connections

10. Westworld & Game Of Thrones

Outside of the other properties within the World of Ice and Fire, namely House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Game of Thrones would struggle to connect with any other TV shows.

There is no fancy technology that can link timelines like some of the upcoming entries on this list, nor are there any visible easter eggs to anything else. It is, by all accounts, as self-contained as it gets. That is, it was, until 2020.

Another juggernaut of TV was Westworld, one that in its second season brought Drogon, Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) biggest dragon, into its universe, as well as a cameo appearance from Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The beast was seen as something of an attraction for the show's Medieval World, and was included as a deliberate nod to Game of Thrones, its showrunners, and George R. R. Martin.

According to Westworld showrunner Jonathan Nolan, it was actually Martin himself who had been trying to manifest a crossover between the two powerhouses, with the Medieval World from the original movie being too much of an opportunity to pass up. Even with the sour taste left by season eight of Game of Thrones, this was a cool nod to what was once the biggest TV series in history.
