WiC Weekly: December 4-10
By WiC Staff
From The Winds of Winter updates to Andor easter eggs to revelations about the nature of The Walking Dead universe, here’s what happened this week.
Welcome to another edition of WiC Weekly, where we run through the biggest stories from the seven days, so long as they relate to fantasy, sci-fi, movies and TV. First up, we look at some of the connective tissue between Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon:

George R.R. Martin has written over one thousand pages of The Winds of Winter, but this maximalist writer still has miles to go.

Shall we talk about one of the best new shows on TV in 2022?
