Game of Thrones' fourth season ended just a few days ago, but we've already been treated to a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the series, in the form of a new video dedicated to showing off the show's many impressive visual effects.
In less than two minutes, the video shows just how different Game of Thrones' fourth season would have been without the benefit of CGI. Joffrey's death would have been exponentially less horrific. Ygritte wouldn't have fired any flaming arrows during the assault on the Wall. Davos Seaworth would still have all his fingers, and the Iron Bank of Braavos would be an empty blue-screened room. And Lysa Arryn wouldn't have had a moon door to fall into. Check out the full video below. --Scott Meslow
