The new House of the Dragon trailer implies the existence of a show called Game of Thrones, but I’m not entirely sure I believe it.
But did any of that actually happen, or were we all in the grip of a powerful delusion?House of the Dragonprequel series that debuts in August. I’ll give it to them that something about it all feels familiar—the swords, bodices, CGI dragons, and all-pervasive gray hue do trigger some kind of sensory memory. But the idea that this franchise, with its cheesy wigs and that dinky-looking pointy chair, was once something that ruled my Sunday nights feels highly implausible at this point.
Other sufferers of this possible case of mass hypnosis hold that this finale was so bad that it immediately erased the show from cultural memory, which is why it today seems possible that the entire existence of something called “Game of Thrones” was actually a plot by a Sacha Baron Cohen, Nathan Fielder type of trickster-Svengali.But I’m not entirely sure that the quality of season eight was the only factor in the supposed show’s vanishing act from the cultural consciousness.
