Television shows are hard to write about without revealing
tons of spoilers. Let’s just state right
now, if you haven’t watched or read any of this fantasy saga, don’t read
anything below. Just watch it
already. Okay, first off, this is one
of the most satisfying seasons of this HBO series. This is comforting considering this is the
first time David Benioff & D. B. Weiss have gone off script or off book
that is. All of George R.R. Martin’s
books have been adapted. From here on
(with George’s input I’m sure) they’re going to give us an end that’s not been
written yet, so drawing a line in the sand for devoted fans—which end of this
story will be better, the show’s or the as-yet-written (if ever completed)
novels. After six seasons, it’s clear
the players are making their way back.
Jon Snow has returned to Winterfell (no one really believed he’d be dead
for long) and reunited with a more mature Sansa. Ayra has completed her training with the
Faceless. Cersei has found her revenge
while at the same time losing the last of her children. And Daenery’s on a ship for home to final
take the Iron Throne. I’m so
excited I can’t really contain myself.
This is one of those shows that I’ve always loved but I’ve been nervous
to get too attached to because of all the bad that has happened in the past. A lot of bad can still happen but I have
hope after this season that we’ll see more victories than defeats. The two best episodes this season were “The
Door” and “Battle of the Bastards”.
Hopefully the producers bring back the directors of these two fantastic
episodes, Jack Bender and Miguel Sapochnik.
Really there was no bad episode, every episode seemed perfectly
executed. If they can continue to stay
this consistent this series will go down in history as one of the great
television shows of all-time. Grade: A
