You’ve been waiting. You’ve been counting down. You’ve been *cough* borrowing your friend’s-sister’s-boyfriend’s-roommate’s HBO password to re-watch old episodes.
The day finally came. Season 5 of Game of Thrones finally premiered. And, if that weren’t enough, your patient (or not so patient) waiting has been rewarded. The first four episodes leaked.
So to celebrate the serious binge-watching you’re definitely going to do (if you haven’t done it already), gather up these somewhat strange ingredients, and let’s go.
In order from least to most complicated, here we go.
