Winter is finally coming

OK, so I admit to having come unfashionably — some of my colleagues may say unfathomably — late to Game of Thrones. As fans of the hit HBO series huddled around the water cooler in recent years to unpack the invariably bloody goings-on at Westeros and Essos, I blissfully ignored their predictions that winter might, as it were, be coming for me. Well, it came, and — unpredictably enough — so did my GoT addiction.
