WiC Weekly: February 13-19
By WiC Staff
This past week gave us a Lord of the Rings trailer, a Stranger Things release date, and new info about House of the Dragon. Our cup runneth over.
It’s Sunday, which means it’s time to find out what’s happening in the worlds of TV, movies, sci-fi and fantasy. It’s time for WiC Weekly.
First up, we take a long look at an under-appreciated aspect of Game of Thrones: the romance.
