Synopsis: The battles of Jon, Arya, Sansa, Cercei, Tyrion, Daenerys and others converge in a World were making strong alliances is a key to the ultimate power.
Review: What I liked in this season from its beginning is that we finally see convergence: characters separated since the first season finally meeting, others that had disappeared coming back to tie loose ends, and story-lines that were left in suspend rejoining the main one, promising an end to this saga in two more seasons. Even characters I didn't really like (Sansa, Arya) become more sympathetic to me as their paths now have clearer goals and they know what they want to do with their destiny. Some characters have been gone for so many seasons that I had to look up on Internet to remember where we had left them. On the other hand, story arcs started in season 5 come to a delicious ending in the Episode 10: The Winds of Winter which is much more satisfying than the one of the previous season, and in fact maybe the best of all seasons which influenced my choice of giving that season the highest rating of all. Most episodes deliver answers to six years old questions so it is hard to single one out in particular, although I can mention Episode 9: Battle of the Bastards for its brutal battle scene, much more than any one in The Lord of the Rings trilogy for example. There has definitely been some progress since the first season in which the display of the battle scene was avoided with clever editing and story-telling. In this season we get to see massive action or landscapes in almost all episodes. I had watched the fifth season a second time to have it fresh in memory right before this sixth one, and I will take a great pleasure in watching this one a second time before starting the seventh in ... gulp... maybe a year from now only.
Rating: 8 /10
