The season premiere of “Game of Thrones,” which took place last Sunday, had a special surprise in it. It was kept on the down low for a while now, but the word is finally out now that the episode aired: Virginia Horvath, president of Fredonia, has joined the cast of “Game of Thrones.”
Her character’s name on the show is Tabatha Maroki, and she is Tyrion Lannister’s newest lover.
Fredonia’s admissions being down could partially have something to do with the fact that the school’s president has been pursuing a secret double life, and clearly has more important things to do lately than focus on running a college. However, now that the word is out that Fredonia’s president is on Game of Thrones, the university may notice a sudden increase in applicants.
“Acting has always been my real passion,” said Horvath. “With this role, I’ve tapped into areas of myself that I never knew existed.”
The character Maroki may play a very important role in this season of Game of Thrones. We aren’t allowed to reveal what it is exactly that her character will be involved in, but let’s just say, this is not the last of Tabatha that you will see.
If you saw the show on Sunday, but still don’t recall seeing Horvath on it, it may be because she was wearing a long-haired wig and a great deal of makeup. So much so, she sort of looked like a different person.
Horvath’s acting was very convincing. So convincing, in fact, that it’s hard to believe that she had been wasting her talents for so long, hiding them from not only all of Fredonia, but the whole world!
We definitely see an Oscar in her near future.
Maybe she’ll put all of her fortunes toward improving the Fredonia’s campus, or finally changing the weird-looking logo. Or maybe she’ll use all the money for herself and go live somewhere tropical like the Bahamas or Zimbabwe. What will Horvath choose to do? What is going to be the fate of Maroki? We’ll just have to wait and find out.
Horvath did also want to let it be known to her students that she does not want anyone to treat her differently just because she is now on “Game of Thrones.” Regardless of whether or not Tabatha Maroki gets beheaded, her tongue cut off or becomes the new powerful leader of all the kingdoms, Horvath will still always be the Fredonia president at heart.
