I doubt anyone thinks it is realistically trying to portray any specific time period. It is a gritty fantasy.

Wait, ppl believed its real or based on real events? :wtf:

I mean the dragons died out right around the time King Arthur got the sword out of the lake right?

Lets not forget giving birth to shadow assassins...and resurrecting folks...and corpses that get blue eyes and start hating people.

This show is 100% based on real life events!

Think of all the stupid people in the world, now there are people that are twice as dumb than them.

It was a long and winding road, but here I am. Now deal with it.
"If it doesn't kill you, I will make you suffer"




Anyway. As the links in the article show, most of GoT is based on real events but just because it is "based" doesn't mean it is true.

("based" == true) = true
but
("based" === true) != true *

It's a bit like people believing that the names in Fargo has really been changed at the request of the survivors.




* Programmer joke. Expecting somebody to point out a null exception at any moment.

The first expression won't work. You can't use the left-hand side of an assignment as a boolean expression. In JavaScript "based" == true will probably evaluate to false as the value comparison isn't the same (as opposed to "true" == true), but both ( "based" ) and (true) will evaluate to true individually. So ("based" == true) == false.

The last expression will evaluate to true, as the type and value comparison of ("based" === true) == false, which is the same as != true. So the whole expression evaluates to "true".

Not quite sure if everyone is being serious in this thread, but it seems Rhymelark is the only one who understood the article.

It's written in pseudo pseudo-code, the X-mas gifts of programming: It's the thought that counts.
