Melisandre (Carice van Houten) rocked the world of Westeros this past week in the season six premiere of Game of Thrones, revealing that one of the most mysterious characters on the show had an even greater secret than most fans imagined.
Clearly, these events have massive implications for the show: Jon Snow’s journey continues, Sansa has someone to protect her, and Melisandre just got the confidence boost of a lifetime – that is, given that Jon is the same Jon we remember. Stop right here if you haven’t seen this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, as there are spoilers ahead. It was thought that Drogo was gone, never again to be seen on Game of Thrones, but recent Instagram posts from actor Jason Momoa would seem to predict a return of that Game of Thrones character.
Another theory which deviates takes us back to season five involving Cersei Lannister’s prophecy regarding a witch that disclose to her when she was still unmarried that she will have three children. And just in case you needed us to say it: SPOILER ALERT! Jon Snows death at the end of Season 5 was played off in a way that left his potential for survival a little open-ended. One is that Bran Stark will return as he was away for a long time now. In this first episode, we’re given a very quick recap of each separate plotline and where each character is headed… sort of. She saw a priest do it once, but she didn’t think she had the power. Brienne appears to be telling her that she found Arya Stark, but disappeared after the fight with the Hound in “Game of Thrones” Season 4. Theres been some excellent scenes with the steadfast Ser Davos this season, and with this new Melisandre and Davos allegiance, I cant wait to see what other antics will happen on The Wall during the coming weeks.
This episode was filled with a ton of awesomeness, setting up the next few episodes that are going to be some real humdingers.
