Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[Aroura]

Ithe was a great season, that at the beginning I don't think was predictable at all. Jon being resurrected was certainly highly predicted, but until the show itself gave us hints, no one was guessing that Cersei was going to rid herself of the Sparrows, and most of her other enemies as well, with wildfire and lose her son in the process and then ascend to the iron throne, nor that Theon and his sister would show up with a handy fleet for Dany, nor how Dany became Kal to the entire Dothraki people, nor that Arya would chose not to become a servant of the House of Black and White, nor even that Jon and Sansa would join together AND retake Winterfel.

The last episode was amazing. The first act was beautifullying written and scored, some of the best writing the show has ever had.

I agree that this is the best season, except perhaps for season 1. Martin's story had become such an unwieldy monester by book 5 that I feel the show writers are benefited by being able to shed the books, now able to work a bit more freely.

I was a tad bothered by the fast travel, especially Varys going to Westerns and back in 2 episodes, but meh, it's better than meandering around, and they did other things to imply the passage of time. I got over it.

Ps, love Jons new warrior knot instead of his old emo hair. It is sexeh!
