Game of Thrones Season 6 premiere was good, but not great. There was death, there was action, there was nudity, but there was not the intensity that you may expect from your favorite GOT. A lot happened, but nothing really happened. A lot what we expected, but not really what we may have wanted. But the good thing is, it left us hungry for more, with the possibility of even more.
***Spoilers***
- One thing was clear; John Snow is dead, at least for this week. I doubt that will go on for long though. He has to come back. Seems like it will be Melisandre? Maybe White Walkers?
- Although turns out she’s like 500 yrs old, maybe even 1000 yrs. But she does know some serious magic. Although, if she was going to use magic, why not look like in your 20s. Just wondering…
- Jamie is back to Cersei. And Cersei is totally disoriented. Doesn’t care much about her girl dying, but talking about all 3 dying. Well, there’s one left, so far.
- All the ships have been burnt, so Tyrion and Varys are not going to Westeros any time soon. Tyrion actually spelled that, exactly that way!
- The Sand Snakes killed the king & the prince. Actually, the king was the prince. So they killed the prince and prince’s son. Was surprisingly easy, for a “prince & ruler”. But hey, it’s GOT.
- Sansa & Theon, almost got caught. But Brienne saved them. She’s finally back, and finally in Sansa’s service. BTW – Sansa almost didn’t wanna walk in water, even to save her life. Seriously?
- Arya is blind, and getting beaten up. Honestly, that’s it!
- The Khaleesi is back to being Khaleesi, with the dothrakis & Khals. Her lovers are looking for her, and she’s looking to go back. At Least she avoided the tormentation etc, by reporting she’s ex-Khaleesi. But now she’s supposed to to go to this ex-khaleesi retirement home.
- And where are the dragons? Seriously, again? Where are they when they are needed? After All, they are the ones that are going t o probably save her. I know it’s expensive and all, but it’s GOT. Give me the dragons!!
***Spoilers ends***
So that encapsulates the show. Performances were fine, but nothing breakout. Except Kit Harrington as the dead body. He’s same as he was at the end of last season. Impressive… And the old lady that plays OLD Melisandre. She’s quite something!
Waiting for next episode, and rest of the season. :)
