I repeat: whoever got to push this together has a fun job.
In other funnies, let’s check in with YouTuber steve’s ongoing journey through every episode of Game of Thrones, watched completely out of order, for the first time. Today on the docket: “You Win Or You Die,” a key episode from the first season.
