I didn't watch Game of Thrones, and I didn't feel like I needed to. What between everyone talking about it, it was hard to miss what was happening.

I do like that it introduced so many people to fantasy!

What, in your mind, is "fantasy?" Because for a genre whose name implies imagination and creativeness, it seems pretty pigeonholed into the European medieval folklore/fairy tale aesthetic somewhere between King Arthur and JRR Tolkien.

I'd agree with that, and most people will probably never venture outside of the hole you've described. For my money it's a book that has to do with fantastical elements that can't easily be lumped into science-fiction.
