Daenerys Targaryen was sold by her power-hungry brother to the bidder who could most advance his cause. Now he’s dead, and she commands the largest army in the realm, not to mention the last three dragons in existence.

Cersei Lannister was married off to a drunken, philandering king by her cruel father when she was just a girl. Now she rules Westeros from the throne where her late husband once sat.

Sansa Stark was abused to no end by the second man she was forced to wed. Now he’s dead, and she’s on her way to conquering the very forces that once sought to bring down her and her family.

The seventh season premiere of “Game of Thrones” on Sunday belonged to these women. And if the opening episode is any indication, they’re ready to do whatever it takes to gain the power, justice or vengeance they seek/Los Angeles Times. More here.

Question: I've never watched a single episode of 'Game of Thrones.' Nor do I plan to binge watch to catch up. However, I know I'm in a super-minority in this instance. How many of you are 'Game of Thrones' fans?
