    Game of Thrones is the greatest show ever made, edging out Breaking Bad. People giving this anything less than a 9 have serious issues. Cinematography and casting are the ultimate 10/10.

    This season is much better than season 5 was from the start.

    The subplots finally feel as though they're moving towards something concrete. The Sansa/Jon, Ramsay, Bran, Tyrion, and surprisingly enough, even the Dany subplots are substantial.

    I don't write many reviews. However I feel the need to weigh in on this one. The premiere episode wasn't very strong hence the lower and misleading Metacritic score. However, I can honestly say after episode 5 that this is the strongest first half to any Game of Thrones season yet.
    There are a lot of positives here, most of the storylines are moving at jet pace which is welcome. Jon,    I don't write many reviews. However I feel the need to weigh in on this one.

    There are a lot of positives here, most of the storylines are moving at jet pace which is welcome. Jon, Sansa, Dany and Bran's storylines have been particularly compelling. And while Arya is still floundering in Braavos. There is potential and a lot to look forward to as well.
    Its not perfect however, the dialogue while good is not as sharp as we're used to seeing but that's to be expected as we're now almost fully liberated from George's material (while George has years to write the books the writers only have a few months to pen a script), the sand snakes also still look like they belong in another show and the show also seems to be forgetting the strong anti-war message in the books by its over glorification of violence.
    But to conclude, overall its been excellent and its Game of Thrones seems to be back to its very best, its miles ahead of season 5 and it still has the potential to be the best season yet.    … Expand

    Metacritic needs to stop doing TV reviews until they figure out how to handle the fact that, unlike a movie, album, or video game, the content cannot be judged solely on the first episode or two of a 10-episode or more season.

    Or hell, try this. Have a Metacritic aggregate score for each episode of a TV show. If that were the case, I would say that a 73 rating for Game of Thrones, Season 6, Episode 1 would be fair. It was a table-setting episode that was forced to address the many cliffhangers left at the end of Season 5, and thus felt rushed in places.

    But the thing is that, since the first episode, Season 6 of Game of Thrones has been undoubtedly its best season yet. The pace has ramped up, major events are taking place in every episode, and the ending to the series is within sight. The characters and storylines that are secondary to the final conflict are being culled, and by Season 7 we should have White Walkers beyond the Wall, dragons in Westeros, and the city of King's Landing in ruins.

    It is a travesty that a site as highly relied upon for critical response to media as Metacritic will have such a profoundly inaccurate score for this season of Game of Thrones, all because it's first episode was moderately worse than the rest of the season. A new system for reviewing TV seasons is needed, and is needed as soon as possible.    … Expand

It's hard for me to say because this is the first season I didn't know most of what was going to happen (having read the books and the show now surpassing them). So for me, I think so far, yes.

    Each episode this season has shocked me, thrilled me, made my heart bleed, changed the 'game' in drastic ways; and make me love and hate characters and love to hate characters and love to love characters all at once. Or love/hate them more. Or just hate. /Stare Ramsey. We thought Joffrey was bad? Seven hells.

    I think the GoT and HBO teams have really got this season nailed down. The worst part of every episode is when the credits roll and another week of waiting begins. Unlike last season, the *major,* end-game storylines are coalescing at a rapid pace that was missing in parts of books 4 and 5 (and season 5), into something none of us can possibly predict. In other words, it's heading towards its conclusion. And given what we know and what we guess, it's going to be one hell of an ending, whether any of the fan theories are right or not (I try to stay away from fan book/show theories).

    Spoilers start here. Don't tread further.
    -The first episode served as most GoT (and any show's) first episode does, reestablishing where everyone is and what's happening with them. Despite this, it did a much better job over the Season 5 'character catch-up' because it didn't feel like a catch-up episode, but rather a continuation of the story in the last moments of Season 5-- they managed to catch us up while still having very significant things happen within the episode, things that felt organic while catching us up.
    -Seeing the backstory with Lyanna and Ned is great. It's interesting that Ned has allowed a rumor about killing the Sword of the Morning. If you believe a popular theory (to which these flashbacks are leading up to)-- well, for one, we'll finally get an answer that was asked in season 1, episode 1; but also, we find that Ned's not quite as honorable as he seems if he let the rumor fly (though I may be forgetting a time he attempted to dispell the rumor?).
    -Tyrion, in the dungeon with the dragons-- wow. Brilliant, and I can't wait to see where that relationship with Tyrion and the dragons is taken.
    -The last moment of episode 2, while predictable, was also great. I like that they didn't just throw the answer at us immediately. I like that Mellisandra struggled with her faith and it had to be Davos to prod her to try what she didn't believe she could do.In her moment of struggling for faith, while we've already been told she's seen Jon in the Winterfell fighting. We silently root her on while we wait for her to agonize over whether to try the revival.
    -Sealing Olly's fate was tragic when considering the arc of his story. Allister, while wrong, "died an honorable death" in the end.
    -The end of episode 4 was nearly as powerful as the end of season 1 when her dragons emerged from the flames with her; and the scene certainly mirrored and paid tribute to that earlier scene, completely in the context of the Dothraki. What an amazing moment, 180, for a storyline that was starting to feel stagnant. In book and show, you begin to wonder just how competent Dany is once she's trying to juggle 3 kingdoms and make a plan for invading Westeros. But she once again showed us, like she did with the masters of the Unsullied, that she is unflinching, if calculated, on her road to what she believes is her fate (now with our favorite Little Person trailing along).
    -But Dany, just wow. She killed the Khal, making her the new Khal; she killed every Khal in that tent, making her one of the most powerful Khals in known GoT history.
    -From what I understood, Arya's scene to mean that going to the fountain will kill anyone (obviously) who drinks from it, but not kill someone who is "nobody". It begs the question: What if she'd been faking and was still Arya (she still has the buried sword, Needle, after all).
    -In general: Wow. 4 unimpeachably amazing episodes in a row; not that ‪‎Game of Thrones‬ hasn't accomplished this before, but most of the best episodes are saved for last. Can't wait to see what that means for the rest of the season.

    -Speculation: Is Shaggydog dead? We know Rickon's a little nutty; Ramsey mentions in the letter. Is this part of another Stark power we have yet to see?
    Book Spoiler: Nymeria is confirmed alive
    Conclusion: Anyone paying close enough attention knows that we're suddenly hurtling toward the conclusions of these several storylines that are about to collide.
    -The Knights of the Vale (sworn to the Vale Prince Robin and now "uncle" Peter now reside) are finally doing something after an entire book series of doing almost literally nothing. Heading to the wall-- to what end, Peytr?
    -Snow heading to Winterfell with Wildlings; Peter meets up on the

    The conflict between the Lannisters (with Tywin out of the way) and the Martell's will surely make for some craftey bloodshed

    Bran being back in action doing his thing could be cool

    Sansa out for revenge now backed by Wildlings, Nightswatch, and Breanna will be sure to make for some tasty vengeance.

    Tyrion ruling the kingdom and showing what he is capable of will make us all fall more in love with him

    Ramsey assending to Lord will make for a great new Character to hate

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly this has been one of the strongest seasons of the show so far. It has been an emotional experience, and seeing all of this without prior knowledge from the books makes it all the more special. Episode 5 was one of the only times I have ever been devastated by a character, and it wasn't even a major character. This season has been FIRE compared o season 5 , and so far its on par with season 4 and 3 ( my favorites). EDIT: THE LAST TWO EPISODES WERE SOME OF THE BEST TV I'VE EVER SEEN. Holy cow the battle was amazing and the cinematography adn directing was so captivating. The finale was probably my favorite episode of the series due to the 20 minute lead in music and Lena Heady's amazing portrayal as Cersei. The BIG reveal happened and it was so very satisfying I teared up. These last two episodes paired with episode 5 "The Door" has catapulted this season was above season 5, and that's why this needs to be at something higher than a 73. You cannot as a reputable reviewer place a season's grade based off the first episode. This season was beyond amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if the show swept the Emmys like last year. I personally cannot wait until season 7, and I hope George RR Martin releases the next book soon so I can experience both of these amazing stories.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Même si l'attaque des Marcheurs Blancs n'a pas eu lieu dans cette saison, la saison 6 est probablement la meilleure saison de la série. Beaucoup d'actions la composent et plusieurs épisodes peuvent être considérés comme les meilleurs de la série (les épisodes 5, 9 & 10 notamment). Excellent début de saison qui enchaîne parfaitement avec le dernier épisode de la saison 5. Brienne sauve Sansa & Theon des hommes de Ramsay et lui jure allégeance. Elle retrouve Jaime pour la première fois depuis des saisons. Il semblerait que le courant passe bien encore entre eux, cependant Jaime affirme qu'il aime sa soeur et qu'il ferait tout pour elle.

    Theon, aidé de Yara (sa soeur) et d'une immense flotte Greyjoy, retrouve Daenerys afin de l'aider à récupérer le trône de fer et venger son père, tué par son oncle. La fin de saison laisse présager un probable rapprochement entre Yara & Daenerys, deux femmes fortes, puissantes, qui ne se laissent pas influencer par les hommes.

    On pense que Jon est bien mort, son corps protégé par Davos et son loup ainsi que les rares frères de la Garde de Nuit qui lui étaient fidèles. Cependant il revient à la vie grâce à Mélissandre (qui est beaucoup plus âgée qu'elle n'y parait), il pend les traîtres qui l'ont poignardé et il déclare que sa garde est finie. Il retrouve Sansa avec qui il essaie de monter une armée afin de récupérer Winterfell.

    La tyrannie de Ramsay est confirmée lorsqu'il tue froidement son père, sa belle-mère, son frère, Tosha et Rickon Stark qu'il avait capturé. Mais la roue tourne, Jon, aidé de Sansa (elle-même aidée de Littlefinger) récupèrent Winterfell et forment l'armée du Nord.

    Arya est livrée à son sort toute la saison. Elle est aveugle, doit faire ses preuves afin de retrouver la vue, finalement elle doit échapper à The Waif, qui doit la tuer puisqu'elle décide de retourner à Winterfell. Elle a toujours été Arya Stark, elle tue The Waif avec aiguille, son épée qu'elle avait cachée, et elle se venge des personnes présentes sur sa liste, en commençant par Walder Frey et ses fils (ceux qui ont tué sa mère et son frère lors des noces pourpres). Par ailleurs, on découvre que Sandor Clegane n'est pas mort!

    Bran fait son grand retour cette saison, et quel retour! Il a des visions de la jeunesse d'Hodor et de Ned. Nous avons des explications sur le surnom d'Hodor, comme une sorte de mise en abyme. "The Door" est un des épisodes les plus touchants et réussis de la série. Grâce à ses visions, on apprend que Jon n'est pas le fils de Ned, mais celui de Rhaegar Targaryen et Lyanna Stark! Quel dénouement!

    Enfin, Tommen prend ses responsabilités et défend enfin sa mère et sa femme avant de s'émanciper définitivement et de faire la part des choses entre son rôle de roi et celui de fils. Il sauve Margaery et s'allie aux Moineaux. Il permet à Margaery de retrouver Loras, qui souhaite s'engager dans la confrérie des Moineaux afin de survivre et se repentir. Cependant, Cersei, pleurant sa fille, ne se présente pas à son procès. Et pour cause! Elle fait exploser la ville et le Septuaire là où avait lieu le procès de Loras et le sien. Toute la confrérie des Moineaux meurt, ainsi que la famille Tyrell (exception faite d'Olenna, qui s'allie avec Ellaria Sand afin de se venger de Cersei pour la mort de son fils et de ses **** enfants). Tommen se suicide suite à la mort de sa femme. La malédiction qui touchait Cersei depuis son plus jeune âge s'est réalisée. Elle se retrouve veuve, tous ses enfants sont morts, elle devient donc la reine et elle siège sur le Trône de Fer.

    Pour cette dernière saison, il y a fort à parier que tout le monde voudra la mort de Cersei (les Tyrell, les Sand, les Stark) et que Daenerys finira sur le trône (même si Jon est normalement l'héritier du Trône).    … Expand

    Game of Thrones is a series that requires fans to weather the bad times, while giving them very few good ones to relish along the way; so judging what's to come on just this fragment of material would be unfair. It takes its time stirring the pot before the steam lifts enough to reveal what has really been cooking.

    In short, it was an episode of Game of Thrones, a show with little interest in or aptitude for self-editing. The aspects that worked were no better-written or more artfully shot than those that fell slightly flat; they simply had a sense of urgency that was, even by the standards of a show whose premieres are slow going, was absent elsewhere.

    Surprise has its place, and isn't mandatory in a table-setting episode like this, which did its best to catch us up on most of the characters (while skipping over the likes of Littlefinger, Sam, and Hot Pie) and show us where their stories may be headed after all that went down at the end of last season.
