A few episodes ago, e678, the “question of the Week” was:
What’s your “comfort series” that you watch over and over again?
I state that I have to evaluate GoT a bit before it ended up on that list, and now I have. Covid gave me that time…And it does 🙂
But with that I also have to revisit last question as well, e780:
What is the saddest on screen death of all time?
It has to be Hodor’s death together with Wash, all others are pale compared to them…In all haste.
