OK, we’ll skip the “winter is here” jokes and cut right to the chase, because we know what brought you here: the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” premieres tonight, and you have yet to finish that seven-season re-binge you definitely meant to start several months ago.
We understand, you’ve had a lot going on and suffering through the pain of Ned Stark’s death, the Red Wedding and “Hold the door!” one more time just seemed like too daunting a task to take on this close to the end. But since it’s been 595 days since the HBO fantasy series’ Season 7 finale aired — and that’s a whole lot of time in which to forget the history of the Seven Kingdoms — you really should catch up, like, now if you want to be prepared for your return to Westeros this evening.
