Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[Aegon]

Personally I enjoyed this season more than any other. Season 5 was the weakest for me, it did feel like 10 episodes of buffering relative to the seasons that came before and this one. S6 certainly wasn't perfect and suffered from the weak middle that has plagued the show for a while, but I thought the last two absolutely made up for its shortcomings and then some.
Maybe it's because I've never read the books. But in regards to that, the GRRM Reaper has had 20 fucking years to complete ASOIAF. Even when the show started back in 2011, he had 5 years to bring out Winds of Winter. The man has ascended to another level of procrastination. Considering the showrunners are now running essentially on fumes material-wise, working with broad generalisations and scraps, I think they've done an absolutely magnificent job of creating a show that is superb in its own right.

I agree about Season 5. There were a lot of moments this season that were dumb, but also a lot of fantastic ones that sort of balanced it out. Last season, however, was pretty much trash through and through.
