Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[pocaracas]

Another fine episode...

Coldhands, finally makes an entrance! and, as many expected, it's Benjen!! Not as much of room to hide that in the show as there is in the books. A half-turned wight, with a last minute save by the children of the forest? Why did they save him in particular, though? Stupid Bran knew they were on to him, but failed to see Benjen? tsk tsk tsk... sooo not ready!
Also... how many wights did Benjen have to take out with melee attacks? 3? 4?... I was under the impression that Hodor held back many more...

Didn't quite get the geography of how Sam gets to his father's place from the narrow sea.... but oh well.... when things go a bit askew of the well thought out books.... weird things happen... who cares?!
It was nice to see Sam take Heartsbane -- what for, if he's going to Old Town? beats me!

Arya fails her first mission after reintegration? hmmm.... well A girl is no more.... A girl is Arya, of house Stark. Time to go home and prick some people with Needle! BUHAHAHA.... girl, get back in training... you're even less ready than Bran.

Daenerys finds Drogon, finally!! Damn kids, always getting lost!
Nice speech, but, if I recall correctly, the dothraki were not keen on crossing the sea.... not at all.... zero keen, actually. Now... just because the Unburnt is riding a dragon, they're more that wiling to jump in the sea?! hmmmmmm... that speech wasn't that encouraging... but the thought of a dragon on your tail may do wonders in terms of motivation!

The plot thickens on Riverrun... Sansa is asking them for help to fight the Boltons.... But the Freys are already giving them some headaches and now Jamie is on his way...
HAHA.... poor Edmure... can't do nothing right...
Could the army from the Vale lend a hand? They are just next door, after all... but show writers tend to forget those details...

Finally, the faith claims another victim... the kid king.
You know?.... back in the days when kings were a thing, kid kings would yield to their uncles/cousins, until they became old enough to properly rule. Kid kings were never given that much power... even if their consort queen was of age. Bonus: consort queens (or kings) were not actual rulers... they're just consorts - there to provide an heir. Gotta love how Hollywood has romanticized this role and elevated it to a proper ruler...

Missing plots...
- Dorne - the sand snakes should be up to something... but what? how will that work out? Haven't seen them in a while...
- Bolton - give him 20 good men and no army will stand in his way! Should work again and again... as long as the incoming armies are not learning from each other.
- Ironborn - Some are building ships.... some are sailing ships... where to, I wonder...
- Jon and Sansa - getting ready to reclaim Winterfell, I guess... but also asking Riverrun for help. Maybe they should use Littlefinger-transport... that guy gets around faster than a raven!
