I CANNOT believe we are already half way through the last season of Game of Thrones. All those characters — Arya, Sansa, Jon Snow, the Lannisters — finally will meet their end. Or kill the Night King. I wish we could easily watch shows like Game of Thrones on TV — in order to watch an episode on Monday morning I have to stay up all night on Sunday…or wake up at 5am.

The storyline and cinematography of the show are great. The show itself is based on George R. R. Martin’s best-selling book series called A Song of Ice and Fire. It is a story about two powerful families, kings, queens, knights, rebels, witches, liars and honest men — playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Sometimes when I watch the show, I feel it reflects what is happening in politics today as well.

I would like to request the government and bosses to declare the next three Mondays as federal holidays so everyone can watch the show in peace — who knows who will survive.
