Hahah, yep of course it was lord of the rings!
I wouldn't say he was an ex master as such, his influence and terror seemed to live on long after he did, and I think a lot of what Sauron did was a pale shadow of what Melkor did.
Also if you have watched Game of thrones and still don't want to drink then the programme has failed you. XD
Also I frequently pretend to be a dragon, I am quite skilled at it!
