We’re addicted to Game of Thrones. A LOT of people are. (Fear not, this is all spoiler-free.) It’s is an intense series, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Any given show can easily get the beefiest lumberjack staggeringly drunk if they played a drinking game where they have to take a swig whenever someone is beheaded, tortured, buck naked, calls John Snow a bastard or says “valar morgulis” (all men must die).

After the last episode, it made perfect sense to me when my wife said she needed to switch to a “happy place” show, but that didn’t stop my mind from whipping up a weird mental mashup. What if Little House on the Prairie was as dark as Thrones? What if those idyllic, Old West farming communities feuded and plotted and battled, neighbor against neighbor. Would the Ingalls withstand the evil conniving of House Oleson? Which House would rise to rule the lands and livestock of Walnutgroveros?

Brace yourself. Summer is coming.

Okay, maybe not. As amusing as that is to imagine, it’s a lot more disturbing, right? We’ll let Little House be and leave the appalling gore and twisted evil to HBO and George R.R. Martin.
