10 Best Ways To Catch Up On Game Of Thrones

7. The Politics of Power – Season 3

Game of Thrones Comic
HBO

Not much more than a recap of the most critical power struggles in Season 3, you won't find a more concise and comprehensive rundown of the major plot points than this official, thirty minute special. 

Like the show, each narrative thread is staggered and blended in chronological order, intercut with interview-style footage of the show's stars as they explain quite plainly what's happening, beat by beat.

Not only does this spare you the pain of living through every cinematically tense build-up and betrayal, it also spares you nine hours of your life. At this point, you'd have to stop eating and sleeping to catch all of the third season before the fifth really gets going, so either your watch begins now or you can just throw these cliff-notes on while you eat a sandwich. 

Wait... it takes you thirty minutes to eat a sandwich? You know nothin'.

He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
