Request: Limiting the number of blatant Game of Thrones references in future?

I have a feeling that many of the things you are mentally crediting as references to Game of Thrones are in turn stolen references used by Game of Thrones, referring to other works that preceded it. In pop culture, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but you may find that what you thikn is a reference to something is actually a reference to something else that pre-dates it by decades.
