WiC Weekly: March 19-25

Welcome to WiC Weekly, where we recap the biggest Game of Thrones-related news stories from the past week. As we wound down from the info-dump at SXSW, fans and cast members stepped up. And sometimes we made our own fun.

Let’s start with a wistful remembrance from Game of Thrones frontman Kit Harington, who’s starting to feel the end of the show weigh down on him.

Next, although we have yet to see Game of Thrones season 7, some people are already getting glimpses of season 8.

Game of Thrones may be ending soon, but George R.R. Martin may be working on a replacement…or two.

But don’t worry: Martin is also hard at work on the Song of Ice and Fire books. He gave some insight into his process during an event at his Jean Cocteau Cinema.

Turning to teases for Game of Thrones season 7, the show’s art director had some promising words during a lecture at the University of the Basque Country.

But if you happen to know, don’t reveal anyway about what those “amazing scenes” entail, at least not if you want to avoid the wrath of Liam Cunningham.

We’ve peered into the future. Now let’s look into the past, starting with a key scene from “Mother’s Mercy’ that changed during the transition from page to screen.

Let’s get frivolous with it. We collect more fan-made posters for Game of Thrones season 7.

Let’s get far afield. We review Iron Fist, Marvel’s new Netflix show that comes complete with two Game of Thrones alumni.

Finally, we’ve been pitting character against character in a Game of Thrones March Madness tournament. Make sure to vote for your favorites!
