What to Watch: Game of Thrones
Where to watch: HBOGO, HBONOW (HBO is offering a free month's trial to get you hooked)
It's finally here. After 10 long months of endless articles, sneaky set photos and reports on hairstyle changes, the answers every Game of Thrones-obsessive has been seeking will be revealed. Well ... no, they won't. We've been watching for six seasons; we know better. However, this is the first season where those annoying, nerdy book readers (yes, I'm one of them) don't have any more idea of what's coming (other than winter) than any rube on the street. I recently completed my annual rewatch of the entire series, and despite the endless teasing of my roommate I stand firm on the endeavor—this show totally benefits from rewatching. Go on a rewatch binge and you'll be more prepared to answer all the "who's that guy? Why are they fighting? Who died?" questions that will inevitably come up during your watch parties.
For those of you who are still Game of Thrones virgins, if you start binging now, I guarantee you can be caught up by this season's finale. It's not like there's anything else worth doing with your nights from now until then. After all, the night is dark and full of terrors.
What to Eat: Wine-Infused Foods
Most of the food in the world of Game of Thrones leaves a lot to be desired. If you are not a member of House Lannister, you are basically expected to survive off of pigeon and the like. However, there is one consistently delicious addition to the story: wine. There's hardly a scene without it and we couldn't approve more. So grab your favorite Dornish vintage or a hearty grape from the North and try some of these wine-filled delights.
