Two things:
1) This 90s-ified opening credits sequence for Game of Thrones is very cool, and extremely well done. They’ve even worked in the fuzziness and random distortion you used to see from a VHS tape that was recorded over a few dozen times and was starting to wear out, which is a nice touch. And the theme song they chose, “I Want It All,” is just perfect. I give them all the credit in the world. Drinks are on me, whoever made this. You’ve earned it.
2) That said, we are speeding toward the tipping point on the TV Shows As 90s Shows thing at what I can only describe as a breakneck pace. Look, I’m a bigger fan of stupid 90s nostalgia than anyone, and even I see that. If you’ve got one of these in the hopper, you better get it out soon and it better be good — REAL GOOD — or else history will not judge your efforts kindly. Trust me. I know. I once spent a whole day helping to make a slideshow of Charlie Sheen quotes. If you learn from my mistakes, we can get through this together. Help me help you.

much better than the walking dead one.
Workaholics Saved by the Bell opening credit is wonderful.
The extra guitar lick at the end seals the deal for me.
They really won me over with the “And Introducing Hodor” part
Best part.
I like Queen, but it needs more of a Hercules/Xena sound track.
That’s pretty fucking accurate. Best part was the Bran fall blackout wipe-away into the iconic throne. Very well done, indeed.
Made me want to watch the Kevin Sorbo Hercules show again.
Trust me, you don’t want to. I thought I’d like that and Xena and Sliders. Nope.
No Stannis. No care.
(but really, the “introducing Kristian Nairn as Hodor” with THAT shot, was pretty great!)
The VHS tracking is an excellent detail.
Spot on. The 90′s sucked. The first book was published in ’96, and to think, we may get the final book in 2025.
