It's time for WiC Weekly, where we go over the past seven days in sci-fi, fantasy, movies, books, TV and whatever else we find interesting that moment. What did we get up to round these parts this past week? So much, starting with this round-up of all the chapters of The Winds of Winter yet released. Yes, George R.R.
