A new episode of “The Vulture TV Podcast†is here! TV columnist Margaret Lyons, Vulture editor Nate Jones, and TV editor Gazelle Emami discuss just how much of Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones diverges from the book, the emotional trauma on the Wall, and the deal with greyscale. Later, we wonder if Mad Men’s finale will have a future jump, and West Coast editor Joe Adalian asks a TV-network executive how he would describe Upfronts to an alien.
