WiC Weekly: June 19-25

Before the big finale tonight, check out the top Game of Thrones-related stories from the past week. It’s time for WiC Weeky.

First, catch up with the explosive “Battle of the Bastards” with our two recaps, one for book-readers…

…and one for show-watchers.

We went freaking nuts with our screencap breakdown this week, gathering well over 100 shots. Some episode just call out for it.

Director Miguel Sapochnik and actor Liam Cunningham (Davos) answer the question that was on everybody’s mind during “Battle of the Bastards”: where was Ghost?

While on the subject of unanswered questions, actor Art Parkinson talks about why he didn’t run away from Ramsay’s arrows in a zig-zag formation, and looks back on playing Rickon Stark.

Sapochnik also talked about the conception and direction of two of the episode’s most disturbingly satisfying sequences: Ramsay Bolton’s beating and death.

Finally, take a look at some of the many callbacks and Easter eggs the producers crammed into “Battle of the Bastards.”

Moving on to tonight’s episode, “The Winds of Winter,” we break down the trailer shot for shot. There’s some very interesting stuff in there.

Also check out all the official images HBO has released from the finale.

The actors behind Davos, Yara, Tormund, and more hype “The Winds of Winter” as best they can without giving away too much. What can we draw from their hints?

You know people are going to die in “The Winds of Winter.” You just do. Who’s most likely to go? We give odds on all the characters.

Finally, let’s turn the clock back a bit and let Tom Wlaschiha answer a question from “No One”: why did Jaqen H’ghar let Arya leave Braavos?

The finale has finally arrived! See you guys tonight!
