The Iron Throne with a Blanket: A Guide to Censored Versions of Game of Thrones

The Holy Trinity of Censorship: Sex, Gore, and Nudity

  1. Syfy and Broadcast Edits: When basic cable channels (like Syfy or TNT) bought syndication rights, they had to adhere to FCC guidelines for content aired before 10 PM.
  2. International Censorship: Countries with strict morality or political laws (China, some Middle Eastern nations) imposed cuts to remove nudity, gore, or anti-authoritarian themes.
  3. The Airline Cut: Perhaps the most infamous, created by editing houses like EditShare or Westbrook Entertainment specifically for in-flight entertainment systems.
  4. Network TV (India & UK): Channels like Star World in India or Sky Atlantic’s daytime repeats heavily edited episodes to a "12+" rating.

The Losses: Where Censorship Hurts Most

Reviewing the censored version of Game of Thrones is an interesting task because it essentially asks you to evaluate a show that is famous for pushing boundaries—only with those boundaries firmly enforced.
