NY Times' Game of Thrones Companion

Game of Thrones returns for its final season this April, and NY Times is publishing a clever email newsletter devoted to catching up, rewatching, and/or simply trying to remember the convoluted plot, given that it's been a long 554 days since the last season wrapped. And it's very well done, by obvious true-believers. I hope the Grey Old Lady continues to cleverly innovate in reader service.

Among other things, there are brief recaps useful both for skimmers and full-out binge rewatchers. For more in-depth episodic reviews, I recommend, as always, Alan Sepinwall. Note that his Game of Thrones reviews were written contemporaneously - i.e. from a newbie perspective, whereas the Times rewatch ties things together from a veteran perspective.
