Get ready for the coming season with this interactive Game of Thrones recap map
So Game of Thrones’ fifth season premiere is going to air in just a few days. Did you know that? I feel like you should know that. On the off-chance you’re just finding out about it now and don’t have a couple dozen hours available to marathon the series in preparation, you can catch up with this impressively constructed, interactive recap map.
The folks over at Direct Packages have written descriptions of each and every Game of Thrones episode yet produced, broken them into scene-sized chunks, and overlaid them over a lovely map of the known world. Simply open it up, click the arrows, and march quickly through the entirety of the show. The programs skips around the map as it describes the far-flung adventures of our various protagonists, giving you a great idea of the geographic span involved. It also underlines just how depressingly far away Daenerys Targaryen remains from the main action.
The programmers will update the map as the new season goes on, so feel free to check back this time next year, when we’re all scrambling to get ready for Season 6.
