Episode 10: “The Winds of Winter”

HBO has just released this new video promo for the time of year six close ofGame of Thrones , " The Winds of Winter , " which airs Sunday , June 26 , at 9 p.m. EST .

After thecarnage inBattle of the dickhead , it ’s time to take stock . Bran Stark has extend the limit of his greenseeing powers forboth goodandbad reasonsthis time of year . Odds are he ’ll getanother vision in the last episode , perhaps even a cliffhanger on the Internet ’s favoriteall - but - confirmed theory .

The much - hyped test of Loras Tyrell will happen in King ’s Landing – alongsideCersei Lannister ’s machinations with Qyburn– whatever those might be .

In the Riverlands we ’ll see Jaime Lannister and Bronn on the move again . This time to meet with Walder Frey after their victory over the Blackfish at Riverrun .

And I in full expect Jaime to dispatch Lord Walder Frey . As we know , somecharacter deathshave yet to be avenged , and why put Jaime in Walder Frey ’s antechamber if not to do just that ?

Davos Seaworth , who ’s still mourning small Shireen , will finally bare his grievance against Melisandre for sting the unseasoned girl alive . No matter what find , this scene will not be fun .

T

And Dany will continue to govern as Meereen recovers from its recent besieging in the last episode . She may even ( finally ) do sheet for Westeros by the end of the installment , but we ’ll have to wait and see .

Episode 9: “Battle of the Bastards”

HBO has just discharge the residual of the photos for this calendar week ’s episode"Battle of the Bastards,“in which Jon Snow and his Wildling United States Army will faced down Ramsay Bolton to attempt to take back Bolton - operate Winterfell . We sawbloodshed .

In this corner , we had Jon Snow – recently resurrected and ready to crusade – lead the Stark forces and joined by 2,000 Wildlings , Mormonts , and smattering of belittled houses . As the former few episodes have made light , it would n’t be enough .

In this street corner we hadRamsay Bolton – bastard - born , kinslaying , torture , child - slaughter sadistic rapist . On a show filled with both grey and pitch - black-market scoundrel likewise , Ramsay ’s the most systematically cruel and mean - spirited , and Iwan Rheon ’s done a hunky-dory job play him . And this sequence did not disappoint .

The betting odds – as usual – are stacked against the Starks . To review , they crusade with :

Versus 6,000 groom Bolton soldiers , including archers , horse , and all the military power house within Winterfell . It will be difficult .

Sansa Stark was there too , with a trick up her sleeve aftershe write that letter in " The Broken Man . “At first , we were n’t certain if even that would be enough ( or if it could lead inSansa ’s death ) .

Sansa was n’t the only one on end sentry . It would ruin my heart to seeLiam Cunningham leaveGame of Thrones , but in former season , dying was established as the matter people do . Davos Seaworth has n’t been safe since he was innovate as one of the most decent characters on the show .

Nor is Tormund Giantsbane , for that matter .

As it turned out , we mainly had Wun lineament to worry about . We are bighearted devotee ofGame of Thrones ' giant actors , and we   alreadylost a Hodor this season . Add Wun Wun to the lean as we begin to enumerate the casualty ….

RIP Wun Wun .

Davos Seaworth learned how Shireen give-up the ghost , but it did n’t get in the way of his mastery in the battle .

Ramsay Bolton wage in an act of cruelty before Jon Snow ’s eye on the battlefield , setting young Rickon to run to his bogus brother …

Before Ramsay shoot Rickon in the back with an pointer .

From there the battle get with Jon Snow going into the affray like a madman – and the bad battlefield commander ever – but it did make for stunning imagery by music director Miguel Sapochnik .

All take care hopeless for Jon Snow and his Wildling forces when the Boltons began to use a pair of pincers move on them – locking shields together and surrounding the Wildlings with spear for box them in and slaughter them all .

Sansa Stark had that trick up her arm though …

After Sansa sent him the letter , Littlefinger rode to the assistance of the Starks with House Arryn and the Knights of the Vale at his back , in a classic Gandalf - comes - at - the - right hand - moment move rip fromThe Two Towers . It works out great for the Stark force in the battle , but Littlefinger is never not planning his next move .

Whatever it is it will have to waitress . First things first . Sansa Stark feed Ramsay Bolton to his own hotdog almost immediately . It ’s tremendously solid to seethis villainget his comeuppance .

Episode 8: “No One”

HBO has unloosen the follow images for this Sunday’sGame of Thronesepisode .

The Brotherhood Without Banners returned in earnest this episode , sans Lady Stoneheart ,   too the dismay of book readers . withal , consider Richard Dormer and Paul Kaye repay as the lightning lord Beric Dondarrion and the red priest Thoros of Myr was refreshing to say the least .

Jury ’s out on how many live Beric has burned through at this pointedness . The last prison term we saw him , the Hound clove his consistence nearly in two . Now theHound ’s connect up with them , for the time being .

But not before killing a few of their crappier members . Remember this hombre ? The Hound wo n’t .

After the introduction of Kinvara andMelisandre ’s big moments earlier this time of year , Thoros makes the third repeat plaster bandage phallus who happens to be adirect servant of the violent god R’hllorthat we ’ve learn this time of year . His return might presage some serious Lord of Light magic to come .

Arya was in a bit of a bind the last metre we saw her . Gettingstabbed in the gutswill do that .

Luckily Lady Crane breastfeed her back to comparative health , but when the Waif go after her down , the healing ’s over and it ’s sentence to run .

It ’s probably Arya ’s best set piece yet , with tumbling yield , fast - pace action across the metropolis , and inthe Waif , the worstGame of Thronescharacter ever , and a foeman reminiscent ofRobert Patrick inTerminator 2 .

Arya is not " No One . " Arya is the new Jason Bourne .

In the ending Arya prevails off - screen , killing the Waif , winning her exemption from Jaqen H’ghar , and walking away from the Faceless Men forever . Or so we hope .

Tyrion and Varys , walking the street of Meereen , which , this time of year , is really the sum of what they ’ve execute . The city is back on track , but so many of the Essos plotlines have dulled these retiring two seasons . It ’s metre for Dany to go to Westeros .

She ’s back in Meereen , so it must be come in shortly .

At Riverrun , Brienne of Tarth had to wrestle between her friendship with Jaime and her dedication to the Starks .

Despite her best efforts she could n’t convert the Blackfish to join Sansa ’s forces . Instead , he died off - concealment .

Which was a literal bummer for book buff because the Blackfish is one of the coolest , take - no - horseshit characters in the serial . We did however getJaime Lannister ’s iconic bricole scourge to Edmure , which felt more than satisfying .

Meanwhile her pal Jaime had to cope with the Blackfish at Riverrun , and was joined by old friend , Brienne of Tarth .

Brienne , pictured here in front of Lannister banners ,   escape the episode unscathed , but she and Jaime will meet again , and believably as foe .

We saw bloodshed in King ’s landing place , but Tommen ’s elimination of tryout by scrap puts a unexampled wrinkle in Cersei ’s plan . She and Qyburn are connive with their little birds though . adjudicate by previousflashbacks to wildfire in Bran ’s visual sense , the crap the Faith Militant has done over the last two season might get along to a wildfire - foreshadowed head .

HBO

Cersei Lannister ’s " I pick out furiousness " scenery , for all its build - up , felt a bit anti - climactic and really just amount to another " zombie Gregor is toughened " scene . Anyone still apply out forCleganebowl ballyhoo ?

Here ’s the teaser for the next episode , " No One , " which air out on HBO at 9 p.m. EST on Sunday :

Episode 7: The Broken Man

In the episode ’s single biggest reveal , Rory McCann returned toGame of Thronesas the Hound . If you recollect , Arya Stark left him for dead at the end of time of year four . This makes us more hype than ever for theCleganebowl between Sandor and Gregor Clegane ,   his   zombie - rise older   crony .

As antecedently theorized andmore or less confirm   by Ian McShane , he played Brother Ray , a one - off character and the humanity responsible for the Hound ’s rehabilitation . He also gives amuch - hype speech , which is the cause the role go toDeadwoodveteran McShane in the first place .

As part of his post - murderer rehab , Brother Ray put the Hound to work , and the writers made trusted to play in a joke about how it was n’t a mankind that bring downKing Joffrey’sfiercest dog , but Brienne of Tarth ( reveal this hebdomad to have afun and nerdy book pedigree ) .

Kit Harington as Jon Snow and Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark in Battle of the Bastards

HBO

Because this isGame of Thrones , Brother Ray drop dead at the death of " The Broken Man , " killed by the Brotherhood Without Banners , who revere not the Seven , but the Lord of Light . This slaughter is what drives the Hound back to ferocity , and what gets usso hoopla for Cleganebowl .

Bella Ramsey joinedGame of ThronesasLyanna Mormont , a badass gentlewoman of House Mormont who , after some convincing , pledged all of 62 struggle men to Jon Snow and Sansa Stark . Hopefully it ’ll be enough .

Arya ’s officially had it with Braavos . There ’s only one problem …

Liam Cunningham as Davos Seaworth in Battle of the Bastards

HBO

You remember the Waif right ? She ’s the House of Black and White ’s abusive niggling superscript to Arya , aka No One . After Arya adjudicate to arrest being No One after herbotched character assassination in " Blood of My Blood,“the Waif comes after her .

The Waif thrust Arya Stark several timesin a sequence that has to be an   intentional recall toTalisa ’s demise in the Red Wedding . fortunately , Arya come through , but scantily . She may have ended the episode with her head ( literally ) above water , but as long as the Faceless Men require her drained she ’ll never be safe .

This episode showed Jon Snow , Sansa Stark , and Davos Seaworth marshal their northerly faction to take on the Boltons . They have 2,000 Wildling warrior , a few hundred salute fight Man from Northern houses that , like the Mormonts , are sympathetic to their cause , and they have a giant . Toward the end of the episode , Sansa Stark wrote a mysterious letterto someone , presumably asking for supporter . It could be Littlefinger , but is it another in a string of missteps that telegraph thatSansa could die onGame of Thronesthis season?Jury ’s still out .

Kristofer Hivju as Tormund Giantsbane in Battle of the Bastards

HBO

Not every sign in the North has been welcome . The Glovers , who fought and died for Jon and Sansa ’s brother Robb in the War of the Five Kings , turn down to give them any financial support in the approaching battle for Winterfell . Without them , the Starks ' last hope is the Manderlys , who have been mentioned several times onThronesand who toy a large part in the books , but who have yet to seem onscreen .

Brynden Tully , the Blackfish came back this episode , and basically told Jaime Lannister to go screw himself after the Kingslayer tried to broker a deal to his ancestral home from him . For now the Blackfish hold Riverrun and has enough supplies to hold a two - year siege . We ’ll see how long it actually lasts .

Bronn is officially the show ’s untamed card . He can do anything and say anything in practically any venue on the show because Jerome Flynn is too fun an worker and his character in the book does n’t do much . So far it ’s certify by him come after Jaime Lannister around on any adventure outside of King ’s landing place . No one ’s complaining .

Wun Wun the Giant in Battle of the Bastards

HBO

In King ’s landing place , Queen Margaery bid farewell to her grandmother Olenna Tyrell , who part for Highgarden generally pissed off at everything that ’s happened in King ’s Landing for the last two seasons . The only hope she has is that Margaery on the Q.T. pushed a draft of the Tyrell rise into her paw . The Queen is n’t as entranced by the solace of the Seven as we thought , peculiarly after that gross scene where theHigh Sparrow secern hershe really call for to start name ( holy ) royal babies .

In King ’s landing place , the two queen who are not really the queeen – Queen Mother Cersei Lannister and the Queen of Thorns Olenna Tyrell – confront off for what might be the last time . Olenna ’s dismissal is harsh and swift as she tells Cersei that it ’s her fracture the fanatic Faith Militant have in effect neutered the two oldest mightiest house in the realm . And she ’s right .

Episode 6: Blood of My Blood

In " Blood of My line of descent " King Tommen Baratheon surprised everyone byjoining Queen Margaeryto re - declare the legitimacy of the Faith of the Seven . In doing so , he shake up the power moral force in King ’s Landing further , and defied his mother and the rest of his Small Council …

… Including Jaime Lannister , who ’d raise a contingent with Mace Tyrell originally intend to storm the Great Sept of Baelor . Afterward , Jaime leave King ’s Landing and the Kingsguard on the whole .

In the most emotionally manipulative set of picture this instalment , Arya ’s Braavos storyline ultimately quetch into geartrain when she refuses to pour down this actress who plays Cersei Lannister in theGame of Thronesversion ofSNL.Ham - fisted grammatical gender comment on Hollywood apart , go Arya !

So long , No One!Hello , Arya Stark .

After theinsane events of " The Door,“Bran and Meera are screw .

Until the mysterious figure known as Coldhands show up to destroy all the wight ! And in the episode ’s single big reveal , Benjen Stark return to the show as Coldhands , a long - theorized developing that everyone saw coming . Perhaps more significantly , we read from him that Bran is now effectively the Three - Eyed Raven .

Which is meet , because Bran used his might to look into the past again this installment , and one of the things he picture was the late Mad King Aerys Targaryen cry , " fire them all!“Bran ’s full visionis filled with twinkle teasers and easter egg .

Hey guys , Edmure Tully ’s still alive ! The vicious Freys are gon na use him as a bargaining chip against his uncle The Blackfish , who holds Riverrun . The whole scene is cartoonishly nefarious and a lot of fun . “They’re laugh at us!“Walder Frey squeals . We are , and it ’s great .

Episode 5: The Door

Let ’s get this out of the way first : Hodor is utter . That sucked . He held the door . Dammit .

This is one of the photos HBO used to bait episode in which he not only fail , butBran Stark time - travel - warged through himto tell him to " hold the door " to bribe him and Meera sentence to head for the hills the wights and White Walkers , gave Young Hodor a terrific capture in the past , and then effectively lobotomized him for the ease of his life . This wasdark .

Poor Old Nan . Poor Hodor .

What really draw is that none of this would have happened ifBran had n’t let the Night King touch himon the arm while he was get one of his greenseeing visions . That sent them right to the Three - Eyed Raven ’s door .

Slow . Clap .

… And got the Three - Eyed Raven kill . But not before we learned a mo of crucial data about the Children of the Forest .

Legend tells of a pact excise between the First Men and the Children one thousand of years ago , to share the land and never to struggle again . Eventually the Children buy the farm out , depart behind the godswoods and other relic of their being , and the First Men were invaded by the Andals and their faith stamped out – except in the North . But that ’s not the whole fib .

As the episode revealed , with their forces near extinction after age of battle with the First Men , the Children move around to sullen magic to help them – specifically creating the White Walkers from men . This confirmsa lot ofGame of Thronesfan possibility .

In Braavos , Arya ’s still dealing with being part of a assassination cult . Same old , same old .

Sansa stands up for herself and for the first time to Littlefinger , butcould that portend her doomsday ?

Not much sentence to talk over it though : The residual of the Stark Rebellion needs to picture out how to crush the Boltons , and it wo n’t be wanton .

As Jon Snow rightly designate out : They do n’t have enough men to perplex the Boltons .

Episode 4: Book of the Stranger

Sansa Stark reunite with her resurrected crony Jon Snow is the individual kindest momentGame of Throneshas ever given its fan . So much so that it almostmakes no sense . Still , it ferment splendidly .

But it does n’t mean our Stark paladin in the North do n’t have their work cut out for them . TheletterJon Snow received from Ramsay Bolton , demanding that he return Sansa to Winterfell , was a challenge , one that will galvanize the Stark cause for the time of year and the wars to number .

Do n’t forget that Littlefinger ’s still in the game . Petyr Baelish may be press metre in the Vale , but he ’ll be up to more no good before long enough . First society of business concern : lead back to the North now that Sansa Stark has miss the Boltons .

Theon eventually come in home to the Iron Islands . As usual , the welcome was less than warm .

Episode 3: Oathbreaker

Danaerys has just been brought to the Dothraki city Vaes Dothrak , where she ’ll be expected to subsist out her day with the rest of the Dothraki khaleesi . She ’s not well-chosen about it .

And this leaves Tyrion governing another realm from behind the tantrum .

Rickon Stark returned to the show this instalment ! Too bad he ’s now in the hand of Ramsay Bolton though . This could be a plot on the part of the Umbers though . Lord Umber made a point of not swear allegiance to Ramsay , which gives us Leslie Townes Hope for a righteous illusion in the annexe . Shaggydog being bushed is not a good sign , though .

His friend Howland Reed did , by stabbing Dayne in the back , while Ned picked up his blade and finished him off . Afterward , Bran was able to shout at Ned in the vision and cause the jr. Lord Stark to turn around . Could this think of that Bran is able to use hisgreenseeing visions as a physical body of time traveling ?

At the Wall , Davos just begin his mind blown . This is his cheek when he look at Jon Snow ’s living , external respiration , resurrected body . Of naturally , Liam Cunningham is a consummate professionaland , unlike Ian McShane , resist to live over that moment for the press .

And speaking of control , the swayer in Meereen do n’t have much of it . Varys , Missandei , Tyrion , and Grey Worm are all bulge to gain that
