[hungryhippo11]

Hiya everyone! Thought I wouldn't be able to cover this week, but got back home just in time to be able to post an update before the finale.

So here's your dose of media for this week...and it's MASSIVE! Sorry for posting this so late, but got a bit waylaid by RL stuff. Also, there are SO MANY articles out there, I can only really give you a taste of what's around. If you'd like more, just check out the following publications sites direct.

Feel free to post any other articles and interesting reads you might find. And please let me know if there's any problems with the links.

**Note - I haven't read all these articles, so beware re spoilers**

Enjoy!
