Game of Thrones Season 6

I think he's simply buying time. Time to consolidate his power, and plot his next move. Time where the Wise Masters aren't paying the Harpies to decimate the queen's fleet, terrorize her citizens, or massacre her Unsullied. Really, what has Tyrion lost by saying they may keep slavery for seven years? When Daenarys comes back, she can still do what she wants. But in the meantime, maybe the city will have some peace.
This was the best episode of the season so far. Loved the reunion of Sansa and Jon; it's a little taste of Arya and Jon's reunion to come! Also, no one's mentioned it yet, but one of my favourite scenes was the confrontation of Yara and Theon. They're two fantastic actors! I think they'll have a hard time wresting control of the Ironborn from Euron though.
RIP Osha; though I was getting tired of her head tilt anyway! :biggrin1:
I'm not too sure Daenarys will be happy if and when she returns. (Maybe she won't return.) Danny is not the wisest of rulers. (Tyrion is far wiser on the other hand.) Danny tends to react emotionally, not objectively. She's strong yes, but she doesn't think objectively and that has gotten her into trouble more than once. (Though she does learn from her mistakes.) The entire issue of slavery has been a hugely emotional issue to her. (Interesting because she's never been a slave. She's like the Abraham Lincoln of Game of Thrones. Abe sacrificed it all to end slavery and Danny is very much the same.) Tyrion doesn't seem to care very much for the poor people or the slaves, but he does care about the realm. To that end, he thinks objectively and if you have to put a few hundred thousand people back into bondage so as to consolidate power, such is the cost. Danny would never do that (and neither would Lincoln.)
Besides, I don't think the Masters have any intention of letting slavery go. Not ever. (Just like the South.) If Tyrion has bought anyone time, it's the Masters. (Unless Tryrion has ulterior motives, which I think he just might.)
I also loved the reunion between Sansa (is there a more beautiful young woman than Sophie Turner?) and Jon Snow. Got a little misty eyed there. After so much death and killing and conflict those 2 have endured, they finally reunite in a quietly beautiful and simple way. (Sansa just rides through the gate at Castle Black.)
If and when Arya does reunite with the Starks, one can't help but wonder if she will even acknowledge them. Arya Stark surely would. But Arya Stark no longer exists. Now she is no-one.
The only problem here is that the people responsible for Elia's rape and murder are all dead (Tywin, Amory Lorch and Gregor). Oberyn died during a trial by combat, not a crime. For me I'd rather see Ellaria and the Sandsnakes fail, the murders of Doran and Trystane made no sense, this has gone way past revenge. I would not underestimate Littlefinger, he is the one responsible for all of this chaos, along with Tyrion who is arguably the smartest character in the whole series.
Howland Reed has to show up at some point, he is the only person alive that knows the true identity of Jon's parents, unless Bran is somehow able to see it through his visions.
Man, that was heartbreaking. No details in case folks are still avoiding spoilers but that episode was just great. Surprised how engaged I am in the Bran storyline. Thought I hated everything about it but it turns out to be driving a ton of the story this season.
She's gonna carry him into the bedroom and fuck his ass off with a lamb skin strap on.
They killed Hodor.
The only innocent character in the entire show.
And let's not forget shaggy dog as well. Rest in peace.

I know everybody seems to be talking about Hodor, what about the Children of the forest? Is that how the white walkers got started in the books?
Is that guy they turned, the current Night's King and who was he?
Are there anymore Children of the forest left? They sure are spooky and enchanting looking creatures!
One thing is for sure - Sansa is still very naïve.
She got played by Little Finger and later lied to Jon Snow (i.e. didn't tell him the truth about where the information she had with respect to the Blackfish raising an army came from.)
You just know that Little Finger has his own agenda - 1. Becoming the Lord of Winterfell and 2. Marrying Sansa. She's just too stupid to see it. I think the whole thing is going to backfire on her down the road. Unfortunately, it's going to affect Jon Snow as well.

You may be right, but I have the feeling his(Little Finger) dealings with Sweet Robin may backfire. That goofball is probably going to do something stupid, to mess up Little Finger's plan. I think as Ramsey Bolton finally goes down, so will Little Finger.
I see the showdown in King's Landing will begin next episode, I can't wait! It's time for the faith militant have someone stand-up to them.
Littlefinger has always been clever in getting what he wants, all through seasons 1 to 4. He made some questionable decisions since then, but I think what he wanted to accomplish by selling Sansa to the Boltons was to ensure that Stannis and Jon would absolutely attack the Boltons. The ensuing carnage would weaken the north to the point where Littlefinger could come "to the rescue" with the knights of the Vale, and be justly rewarded with Sansa's hand in marriage, thus winning the north. That would basically put two kingdoms in his hands. Obviously, the biggest flaw in this plan is Sansa herself and her reaction. It may very well be that Littlefinger knew nothing of Ramsay's perversions and so erred. If it weren't for that, his plan would be going swimmingly! Now he has an obstacle to overcome.
Priceless comment from the Telegraph (UK):
"And let’s not forget that ... it was revealed that the Walkers are essentially eco-warriors with hygiene issues, created by the Children of the Forest to keep mankind at bay. A chilling reminder of the depths people sank to in the time before Facebook petitions.
I have a feeling she will pull out her trump card by season's end, all she has to say when she sees in him next. "Hey Robin, guess who threw your mother through the moon door"
Last I recall, Sansa and Robin aren't actually on the best of terms. She slapped him in the face! Pretty sure Littlefinger has Robin in the bag.
