In its six years on the air, Game of Thrones has produced some utterly mesmerizing, thrilling, astounding, amazing episodes.
For my money, Hardhome was the best hour of television I’ve ever watched, so intense, and so, so fucking nail biting. But you wouldn’t be wrong if you thought Baelor, or The Rains of Castamere, or The Mountain and The Viper, or The Watchers on the Wall, or The Children were better (God, the end of season four was so fucking good) (and last night’s episode ended with a nod to the song played when Arya left for Braavos at the end of The Children).
But The Battle of the Bastards could top them all.
For starters, it’s got four of your favorite characters, Jon Snow, Davos Seaworth, Tormund Giantsbane, and Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun, facing off against the show’s main villain, Ramsay Bolton. In a battle for the North. Shit is gonna get real. Just watch Wun Wun SMASH.
Unfortunately, I’m slightly worried that it might end in a carbon copy of The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers, with an overwhelmed army about to be defeated rescued by a calvary at the last minute, with the Knights of the Vale and Petyr Baelish playing the role of The Rohirrim and Gandalf.
Or not. This is Thrones.
Either way, it looks like it’s going to be dope. I’ve watched that trailer nine damn times already.
