What makes Game of Thrones so popular is its character and story line developments. And a huge budget doesn't hurt. Here is a scene from season 5 episode 9 (spoiler alert) involving Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.
