Greetings
My name is Jonathan R. Meyers. As an early fan of the show Game of Thrones, I wrote or co-created several satirical pieces on HBOWatch during the early seasons, and later developed several post-finale essays and authored a series I called “Rethinking Game of Thrones” which focused on reevaluating often missed details in the show, recognizing the series’ complex themes, appreciating the widely misunderstood ending, and explaining the story’s deep-rooted inspirations in classic literature.
The Greatest Show That Ever Was or Will Be is the new, independent home for the original articles and essays as well as unpublished articles and future commentary on Game of Thrones and its ongoing evaluation, legacy, and cultural impact.
Why This Site Exists
This blog is a labor of love and a creative outlet. It was built to host my personal analysis, commentary, and deep dives into the show that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss brought to life on HBO. After years of writing for another website, I wanted a dedicated space—a “library at Oldtown,” if you will—to archive my previous articles, publish new thoughts, and perhaps continue to engage with true fans who believe that Game of Thrones is the greatest show that ever was or will be and that there is nothing in the world more powerful than a good story.
