Game of Thrones: Season Six

[Hector]

Jon Snow is obviously THE central heroic figure...but equally as heroic is Brienne...I love her character, so noble...so baddarze...her fight with the Hound was brutal and epic...to me, the best one-on-one sword fight...not in terms of technique, but sheer brutality (Viper/Mountain had the more shocking ending though)...what an awesome scene...

[Hector]

And lest we forget this wonderfulness

Their offspring will make the Mountain look like Pee Wee Herman...

[Hector]

As much as I love Tywin, there's another proud papa that holds that distinction..

Oh, and his daughter too...so tragic...poor little girl. Hope that father of the year is burning in Hades now...

Jon Snow and Sansa meeting up for the first time was an epic event indeed. Wow, u guys had to wait six years for this...not me...thanks to my binge watching, ha...

You know which death made me saddest? Ygritte. Poor girl, she and Jon never had a chance...she was my type, feisty and wild...oh, and being a redhead never hurts...

I finally caught up!

Just watched last week's episode 4, season six...



Will discuss later...

[Hector]

Again, ignoring all your posts...because I just finished all five seasons...and about to watch the season six ones tonight...

Oh crap, this week's episode was fantastic. I almost teared up at Jon and Sansa's reunion.

If you were Kit Harrington filming that scene, how do you not break character when he first sees her and yell, "Sansa! WASSUUUP?!?"

Would make for a helluva outtake.

I'm not reading any of you guys' posts, trying to keep away from info, lol.

I'm halfway through season 5 now...almost there...

Then we will talk...

Did anyone else hear "Dreamweaver" lightly in the back ground?

Now, I'm wondering about Littlefinger's motivations for accusing Bronze Yohn Royce of selling out info about Sansa to the Boltons. Was it to put Royce in his place, so Littlefinger can assert authority over him? Was it to cow Royce so he'd agree to march on Winterfell if Lord Robin said to? Littlefinger is the guy you love to hate. He has a (hidden) agenda, and no swords behind him, but he is clever and wonderfully manipulative. Maybe this was always part of the long con, something that Littlefinger would specialize in?

I think it had more to do with Royce calling him on BS right off the bat. The guy is a master manipulator and took total control of the situation effortlessly.

I think last nite's ep was my favorite of the season so far. Loved the emotional reunion of Sansa and Jon.. so weird in that it was essentially the first scene the two characters have ever had together! Just speaks to how much we have invested in the Starks and all they've been through..

Wild final scene with Dani and the Dothraki. Glad that things will be moving on from there now...

Absolutely! It really shows how much Sansa and Jon had changed. Wasn't their only previous scene together the time when King Robert arrived at Winterfell and the whole Stark family knelt to him (season 1 Episode 1)? Sansa, at the time, was a foolish girl with her head full of stories of knights in shining armor. She *thought* she was in love with Joffrey and vice versa, even when his petty cruelty was right there in front of her.

Jon was never made to feel welcome in the family by Lady Cat Stark, and was happy to join the Nights Watch because he though it was an honorable profession. Both of them had their illusions shattered and had gone through the grinder.

And, finally, after all they'd been through, they finally had a joyful reunion. Yes!

Yeah this was a "getting stuff done" show for sure.
