Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He rite ki te Game Of Thrones. He rite tonu ki te Game Of Thrones. Engari i te wā e rere ana te kāmera puta noa i te mahere, ka mārama wawe mai kua whakaarohia anōtia e tēnei kiriata poto te raupapa moemoea pouaka whakaata hei tuku i tētahi karere tōrangapū tino hōu. I huaina te taitara Game Of Cuts (Winter Is Coming For Councils), nā tētahi rōpū pakanga e tono ana kia tika ake te pūtea me te iti ake o ngā tapahi mō ngā kaunihera e tohu ana - 45 ngā kaunihera tāone i ngā rohe ki te raki, ki waenganui, ki te tonga o te takutai o Ingarangi. Ko te whakaputanga, e £11,000 te utu, e whai whakaaro ana ki te whakaari i whakatangihia i roto i te whakaaturanga HBO rongonui. Game Of Cuts i hangaia e te rōpū pakanga a Sigoma, e karanga ana kia tika ake te pūtea me te iti ake o nga tapahi mo nga kaunihera e tohu ana - 45 nga mana taone nui i nga rohe raki, waenganui me te tonga o Ingarangi. I hangaia e Sigoma (Special Interest Group of Municipal Authorities), e whakaatu ana i tētahi rangatiratanga pakiwaitara i reira ko te whakaheke pūtea te tikanga kaore e taea e ētahi rohe te utu i ngā ratonga nui, i te wā e amuamu ana ētahi atu rohe mō te kore o ngā taonga papai. I roto i te whakaaturanga whakatuwheratanga ko nga tohu i ahu mai i te Whare o Lannister - he whare taonga me te kaha i te tonga. I roto i era ko te whakangahau i a Kingi Joffrey Baratheon, he rangatira nanakia, i whakamohiohia ki a ia: 'Kei te angitu ano nga rangatiratanga e whitu. 'Kāore e tika kia whakararuraru i tēnei mā te tuku i ngā hiahia o te raki... Ka āwhina ā mātou whakaiti pūtea ki te tiaki i te heke mai o ngā rangatiratanga e whitu.' Ka kitea te tangata o te raki, a Lord Ned Starp (i whakatangihia e Sean Bean hei Ned Stark i roto i te raupapa pono) i te taha matau, i mua. Ka mea ia ki te Kingi kino a Joffrey o te tonga (maui): 'E te Ariki, he aha te tikanga o tenei? Kua hinga nga tangata o nga pa o te raki ki runga ki o ratou turi! Kāore he tangata hei tiaki i ō tātou kaumātua me te hunga mate.' I roto i te kiriata, ka kitea a Kuini Cersei e whakapakari ana i ngā kerēme i mahia e tana tama a Joffrey. Ka uru mai te tangata raki, a Lord Ned Starp (i whakatangihia i roto i te raupapa tūturu e Sean Bean hei Ned Stark): 'E te Ariki, he aha te tikanga o tenei? Kei te turi kē te iwi o ngā taone o te raki!...
Game Of Cuts nā Sigoma (Te Rōpū Motuhake o ngā Mana Kaunihera) i whakaputa He pai te whakaari i te Kingi kino a Joffrey me te Ariki honore a Stark. E whakaatu ana i te rangatiratanga pakiwaitara e kore ai e taea e ētahi rohe te utu i ngā ratonga nui i te wā e amuamu ana ētahi atu rohe i te kore o ngā taonga papai. Ko Bob Neill, te tumuaki tuarua o te rōpū Conservative, i kī i te kiriata he 'whakamaherehere moni' me te 'whakamaherehere katoa' I tāpiri mai a Neill: 'Kei te ngaro te kaupapa matua - he poka pango kei roto i nga putea o te rangatiratanga, he mihi ki nga ra o mua o King Gordon'
