spoilers for Game of Thrones episode 6.1 and all that has come before
Well, Game of Thrones has returned. I’ve written about previous seasons on other sites (and now its watch is, probably, over). I skipped last season, but I’ll do or do not a piece for each episode this season.
For some background to my perspective, I have read the five main books. I haven’t read any of the preview chapters from book six. And I haven’t read any of the supplemental stories. I am far from an expert on the lore of A Song of Ice and Fire. I liked book one until they introduce the character of Ned’s head. And the series has slowly gone downhill in my eyes. I simply haven’t liked most of the decisions George RR has made. I was hoping season five of the show would avoid some of them, but it did not. And now here we are in the aftermath of those decisions. I will be curious to see what the show does.
