George R. R. Martin Wrote Four Episodes
Beyond writing the novels upon which “Game of Thrones” is based, George R. R. Martin also wrote scripts for one episode in each of the first four seasons, including classics like “Blackwater” in season two and “The Lion and the Rose” in season four (the one where Joffrey dies). Martin stopped writing for the show in season five to concentrate on “The Winds of Winter,” and we can only hope that his efforts will someday pay off.
