SquaresRenew 17: Glass of Thrones
One of Belfast’s burgeoning industries is film. Titanic Studios is one of the largest film studios in Europe, possibly best known for producing Game of Thrones. Dotted along the Maritime Mile are six Game of Thrones stained glass windows, Glass of Thrones, showing iconic moments from the saga. Clearly we missed one because I can only find photographs of five. Also, not having seen GofT, I can’t tell you what any of them represent. However, I do like the King on his throne in the post header image!

I love the stained glass windows and especially the “king” on his throne! I never saw Game of Thrones either. The first episode had so much gratuitous violence I decided not to continue. I’m having a hard time making it through Shōgun for the same reason.

The King looks quite pleased with himself!

The stained glass art is beautiful. Not a fan of the series at all.

G of T could have went to Scotland until Ireland offered a better deal. Lovely windows.
We got Outlander instead. Bob. BSS.

fabulous glass and the Birthday boy looks so happy – great post and even better that there are so many non watchers out there!

It seems the Squarers are pretty much unanimous in their rejection of GofT!

I’m another one who hasn’t seen it, but then we don’t have Netflix either. I like the glass though and love the king. He looks proper proud of himself 😂

No, nor do we. The glass is lovely, and the king is much better than any old fantasy one!

So far, it seems, nobody has watched it, apart from Carol who started but didn’t finish. I don’t feel so out of the loop now.

It is OK – I have never watched Game of Thrones either but the windows are lovely.

They are! And the first three comments are from non-GofT fans so we are not alone.

We are not alone, but sometimes it feels that way! My interest in popular culture has rapidly diminished over the last few years.

How clever and a lovely way to promote the film industry. We watched some of the series but never finished it.

It never appealed to me at all. But I like the glass!
