Published: Aug. 13, 2018, 3:25 p.m.

Our re-watch of the first season of \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d reaches its surprisingly key second episode, where Ned tells Jon he\u2019ll explain his parentage later, Joffrey decides to have a bit of fun with the butcher\u2019s boy, Dany gets some intimacy tips from a handmaiden, and the direwolves have perhaps the most screen time they\u2019ll ever get. RIP Lady. (Note that if you\u2019re looking for a spoiler-free look at \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d, this isn\u2019t it. We discuss where the series is going up to the end of the penultimate season.)
