Game Of Thrones (HBO, 9 p.m.): We hope you’ve picked out your finest IKEA furs, because it’s time to close out the seventh season of this fantasy drama. HBO has left us without a synopsis, but we can all safely assume that a lot of blood will be shed in this, the longest episode of the series to date. “The Dragon And The Wolf” of the episode title are rumored to be Daenerys and Jon Snow, but will the finale see them join the incest gang, or will they just go into battle together (wittingly) for the first time? Or will Bran just have another flashback to Jon’s birth—Rhaegar and Lyanna also fit this bill, after all—and remain creepy and useless? And even at 79 minutes, will there really be enough time to address the looming White Walker invasion, Arya and Sansa’s falling out, Cersei’s “delicate” condition, and Viserion’s cool new look? With all this up in the air, we’re more grateful than ever to have Myles McNutt and Brandon Nowalk on review duty.
