At the midpoint of season six Game of Thrones resolves old questions and charts new courses for our favorite characters. Will Ice rule the day? Or will Fire vanquish the ancient foe?
This week's episode of Game of Thrones taught us one immutable law: a corny speech on horseback is still a corny speech, but any speech delivered from the back of a dragon is inspirational, no matter how corny. It is known. The show also resolved a loose thread that originated early in the first season, restored Margaery to Joffrey in a most unexpected way, and placed Arya in new peril of her own choosing.
