Game Of Thrones (Sunday, HBO 9:00 p.m.) — The penultimate series episode of this HBO juggernaut has arrived after last week’s heartbreak-filled edition that left multiple problematic issues in its wake. We’re barreling towards learning who will take the Iron Throne, and there’s just no telling whether Cersei, Dany, Jon, Sansa, or whomever else in line will be successful. Maybe there will be some new dragons, though? That would be cool.
