...and at MY University, no less!! Unfair!! Northern sure as hell didn't offer any class like this when I was there! Jerks. Idiots.

The course, which filled up in under an hour, is part of NIU's honors program and will include exercises such as watching the series, reading the books and learning how Game of Thrones relates to current events.

Current events vs. a pseudo-medival world. Still, I guess it would be fun to attend.

When I was in High School I had a semester of English Lit that revolved around "Good vs. Evil". I always thought that ASOIAF would have melted everyone's minds in such a course, with all the characters' various shades of grey. I remember early on how Jaime was my favorite character to despise before seeing his redemption arc. Same with Cat. Hated her to death from the moment of "It should have been you". Then she became a bit more sympathetic. Then flip flopped again with her awful decisions. The discussions in class would have rocked! :thrust:
