7/10
A reckoning will come
13 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
1. Brienne and Sansa are finally together 2. Blind Arya gets beaten 3. The Red Woman is OLD

Another season has begun. Sansa and Theon finally escape and join with Brienne. Really glad things are turning out ok for Sansa. I wonder what she feels towards Littlefinger now. He did simply marry her off and we haven't seen him for a while. Hope he plays a part in this season.

Arya is going through another form of training (aka being beaten while blind). She's going through all this to become a good warrior, right? Cersei's scene with Jaime was very emotional. It might be easy to focus on Cersei and her loss but we have to understand that Jaime basically became a father for the first time and right after the moment, he lost his daughter. That's gotta hit a man hard. Season 6 will most likely be a payback by the Lannisters - particularly against Tyrion if possible. Dorne is going to be a mess now that Ellaria Sand is in control. A war against Dorne is definitely incoming. I understand Ellaria's motivation but man, let it go. Oberyn died because of himself.

The Red Woman looks like she found another host to parasite on. My assumption is that he comes back to life with the Red Woman's sorcery. Even if it's that way, I want my favorite protagonist to come back. Daenerys is back to square one - with the Dothrakis. It's going to take the whole season for her to get back to her queenship...

Overall, one of the better pilots that sets up many of the upcoming conflicts. Still full of tension and emotion.
