"Dragons. It just had to be dragons. After 10 episodes of stunning television, head-chopping, impromptu nudity (male and female), horse-slaying and more shock twists than you can shake a Stark sword at, Game of Thrones season one ended with an almighty cliffhanger this week. Robb Stark has been hailed as King of The North. Everyone&amp;#039;s favourite sex-mad, booze-loving imp Tyrion has been packed off to take care of the vile, snivelling King Joffrey. Jon Snow was prevented from abandoning the Night&amp;#039;s Watch by his band of brothers and Lords Varys and Littlefinger are still bickering like a right old pair of housewives.  However, the finale belonged to Daenerys Targaryen. Unable to save her lover Khal Drogo from a coma, she placed his body on a funeral pyre and joined him in the flames. Luckily, there was just enough time before the fade-to-black for Emilia Clarke to emerge from the embers, naked - of course - with some new fire-breathing friends on her shoulders. The dragons have arrived, goddamit!  How are we expected to wait another year for part two of Game of Thrones? I want to see Joffrey burnt to a crisp by Daenerys&amp;#039;s new pets. I want to watch Tyrion living happily ever after and open up a pub with his new lady friend Shae. I want Robb Stark to be all noble and Sean Bean-like, but manage to keep his head. I also want to watch all of these things not happen and still find myself utterly engrossed and enthralled by the Seven Kingdoms.  Of course, I could spend the next 12 months reading up on George RR Martin&amp;#039;s Ice and Fire books. The main benefit being that I wouldn&amp;#039;t look like an idiot the next time a major character is killed off. However, I&amp;#039;m not going to read the books. Not yet anyway. I want to absorb the world and story that HBO&amp;#039;s David Benioff and DB Weiss are creating without my own prejudices about how it should be done. It is Game of Thrones&amp;#039; biggest achievement that even TV viewers, this one included - who would normally run a mile from a show involving swords, magic and Mark Addy boasting about his sexual conquests - have found themselves shedding their fantasy prejudices. Brilliant acting, classic HBO violence and random shagging scenes - they&amp;#039;ve even earned the critical TV term sexposition - and some of the most lavish worlds ever created on the small screen have combined with awesome results.  I&amp;#039;ve even found myself picking sides (Are you a Lannister or a Stark? Or maybe even a Dothraki?) and the stories, growth and emergence of Tyrion, Daenerys and Robb have meant that the shock exits (well, it was a shock to people who hadn&amp;#039;t read the book) of Sean Bean and Jason Momoa haven&amp;#039;t shaken the view that this is the best new TV show of 2011.
