The Inner Monologue of a Late-to-the-Party “Game of Thrones” Watcher

When “Game of Thrones” first aired and the hype began, I thought, “Yeah OK, I’ll get to watching that eventually.” Five or six years later, it became a task that required tons of commitment (a full hour per episode?!) that I wasn’t sure I could handle. Cut to January of this year, and I couldn’t take it anymore -- I needed to know what everyone was so obsessed with. So, I began the ambitious undertaking of watching all seven seasons of GoT before season 8 airs on April 14. Suffice to say, it’s quite the process and there’s a lot of spoilers to navigate. Now the new trailer is out and I don’t know if I’ll make it through.
