WiC Weekly: August 7-13
By WiC Staff
This week at WiC, we get into the end of The Walking Dead, the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, the legacy of Game of Thrones, and more.
What happened in the worlds of TV, film, fantasy and sci-fi over the past seven days? Find out below:
First, we indulge in a bit of light shade and look back at some of the holes in the rich tapestry that is Game of Thrones:
