It’s been over a year since the finale of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Here are five things we learned about the show since then. “It’s been more than a year since Game of Thrones fans tuned in to the series’s finale—concluding both the eighth season of the HBO epic and the overall saga conceived by author George R.R.

How Gone with the Wind Influenced Game of Thrones

How many children did Scarlett O’Hara have? That’s the question George R.R. Martin always raises when asked about the differences between his literary series, “A Song of Ice and Fire,” and HBO’s television adaptation, Game of Thrones. He mentioned it on his blog when defending the TV series surpassing the books’ narrative in 2015, and he repeated it more than once in 2019 when Game of Thrones ended, seemingly by revealing the final betrayals and tragedies Martin has planned for the novels. So just how many children did Scarlett have? For those who’ve never read the book or seen the…
