WiC Weekly: November 15-21
By WiC Staff
This week at WiC, The Mandalorian pulls a Game of Thrones, the fourth season of The Crown makes a royal entrance, and more.
What happened this week in the world of fantasy, sci-fi, books, movies and television? Whatever it is, it all happened on WiC.
First up, we ask a twist on the eternal question every A Song of Ice and Fire fan has asked themselves a thousand times:
Eventually, George R.R. Martin will finish writing The Winds of Winter…we hope. After that, how long do we wait before its in our hands? https://t.co/6SK1ePMqPe

The Mandalorian keeps rolling out new episodes, and we keep plumbing them for Easter eggs:

Anyone else out there watching The Crown, Netflix’s opulent series about the history of the British royal family? We are, and we have thoughts:
The latest season of The Crown may be the best yet, thanks in small part to the addition of Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher. We get into it: https://t.co/aTy4HHmYqW
