But where is Benjen?
Nah. I think he's a hostage.Who do you think the Night's King is?
(No, that's not a spoiler)
I use to think he was one of his generals though.
If he is, he's probably playing both sides. He went to Winterfell when Robert visited to see what was up. He saw that shit was about to go down when he learned the Hand was killed and that Robert feared for his life. He went back to the Night's King and told him now is the time to strike. Possible? Why not.
I hope we learn more about him this season.
We haven't seen him since Season 1. That's kind of ridiculous if you think about it.
it was so damn tense, whole episode had me hooked and i just didnt know what was going to happen next.
highlight was ofc boom valyrian steel
Everything was so unexpected.
I wasn't expecting to see WW in that episode at all. Also, I thought Jon was dead for sure. How the hell was he going to get out of that?

Some crazy shit is gonna go down over the next few seasons, and the only two left standing for the series finale will be Gendry and Benjen. BELIEVE

Should have posted the gif, always liked both of their reactions.
They're like "What the fuck?"

The reaction videos on youtube are all amazing.

It's certainly up in the top 5 episodes. Brilliant storytelling, and the production values were off the chain.
I also loved that it threw people off about Jon dying. I remember reading lots of cries of plot armour. Then two episodes later....
Also the official YouTube channel has removed the first trailer? Too many spoilers hidden in the stills?
I think the Red Priest and the Red Woman could do some cool stuff together.

I only started watching this earlier this year and am current. I watched on blurays and Amazon streaming, so I'm out of luck for this season without cable right?
Some shows go up on Amazon the next day, but I assume this won't.

My favorite moment from last season. That whole episode was so great, and completely unexpected.

Amazingly directed episode.
I'm excited to see that Miguel Sapochnik (director of Hardhome) is directing the penultimate episode AND the finale of Season 6. :O
(I do miss Neil Marshall directing episodes, however. He had some great ones.)
The team that doesn't die.

Like convert the masses to the Light of the One True God? I agree. And it should be markedly easier when a Wintery darkness sweeps over the land along with Ice Zombies weak to fire.

So good. We learn
-Jon Snow is no doubt the greatest swordsman in Westeros
-There's a depth to the White Walkers, they're much more than mindless husks
-Valyrian Steel got that +99 Fire +99 Undead damage
-The Night's King can shit himself
all in a span of 5-10 seconds
I would love a Jon & Beric convo haha
No answer on number of episodes, must be still debating that internally.
I think the amount of time it will take to create those episodes is the more important factor.

Man Brienne is/was one my faves but I'm one foot out the door on her. For the past two seasons she's just been roaming round, failing the Starks and destroying my favorite characters.
Also if we actually get Winter/The Long Night it would be a logistical nightmare.

He went to Hardhome. Found a load of gaudy motherfucker's looking at him intently in silence, so now he's turned around and is heading for King's Landing again.
Three full grown CG dragons don't come cheap.... maybe they'll kill one off to save money.

Jessie Spano imsoexcited.gif basically describes my feelings for season 6. Excited to finally see where things are going, but also scared.

I'm glad this show became trancendently popular because time is probably a bigger constraint than money at this point. Early on we would have been lucky to hear people fighting at Hardhome before cutting to the aftermath.
Unless he get's the [horrific] Robb Stark treatment, then we wouldn't really see him again.
Good thing there's a 0% chance he's not coming back because holy shit.

Long live the new rulers of Winterfell. #SetBolton
I hope they don't wait until the season finale to revive Jon. I mean it's obvious he's coming back. Too many hints and attention thrown his way for his arc to be finished now.
I'm getting ready to finish my rewatch of S5.. Outside of Dorne, weak Tommen and Stannis's defeat, I don't have many complaints. The season is better than I originally thought.

Yea I just finished my season 5 rewatch and it really isn't bad at all. The last 3 episodes are top notch.

S5 is really good. I think people were expecting, fuck, I don't know what people were expecting but maybe comparing it to the first few episodes of S4 it fell short but overall it was an amazing season with a few bumps. I think people just got on the train and kept riding it and we're purposely looking for things to complain about, it really wasn't bad at all.
I remember so many people saying that the line "You want the good girl, but you need the bad pussy" was cheese and poorly written. While I don't particularly think it's a good line, how is it any worse than other shit like "you should taste her fish pie".
Obara telling her family something they would already know about her father, just for the sake of the viewer. That was fucking horrible. But outside from those, I don't remember there being many cringe moments.

Just caught up to season six and I'm starting to hate how stupid the Night's Watch is. Your friends come back from beyond the north stating the dead are rising and a gigantic army is coming to kill you all, and what do you do? You kill the one guy who has a chance at bringing all the armies together and actually fighting these undead.
Sure. Makes sense. Air your petty grief and fuck over everything. "Oh no my mother and father were killed by the Wildlings because we fucked them over and continued the cycle of shit stirring! Time to stab this guy who happens to be trying to fix shit!"

On GAF, and in hot-take-internet-culture in general, if a thing doesn't show substantial improvement over what came before, it's automatically shit. Sure S5 is definitely the weakest season of Game of Thrones, I confirmed as much on my rewatch, but it wasn't a bad season of TV by any stretch. But whatever, some will continue to argue their point by focusing on Sand Snake garbage when it's maybe 30-45 minutes over 10 hours.

He said he went back to play a corpse in an interview recently.
odd that he also said he was there for months shooting however 
I hope they all die soon.

Of all the things in the show, that was the hardest thing to watch. Not the Red Wedding. That scene. It might be the only time a movie or show has made me feel physically sick to my stomach. Poor Robb & Grey Wind. Horrific is right.
