In this episode of #westerosweekly, Erik Voss analyzes the different storylines of George R R Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series that could make The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring play out quite differently from Game of Thrones Season 8 -- Dany's madness, Bran's stiffness, and Jon's nuthin-ness.
