A Few Thoughts on “The Winds of Winter”, the Season 6 Finale of Game of Thrones:Let

A Few Thoughts on “The Winds of Winter”, the Season 6 Finale of Game of Thrones:Let me just start with this: Last week, I declared that “The Battle of the Bastards” was the best episode since the first season. I guess I now have a new all-time favorite and probably, the best of the series to dateHere we go:1. There is beauty and a lot of things to be heard in an eerie silence. Some scenes at King’s Landing and the Great Sept of Baelor were shown in silence. No dialogues, No musical score. There was a mystery and we were expecting something big. They pulled it off well.2. I bet we can all agree that the best musical score of this episode was that of the scene leading to the destruction of the Great Sept. No percussion. No orchestral music. Just strings. Just those tension-filled music emanating from the strings. As a teacher of Music, I am impressed.3. From now on, we shall cease to use “Water boarding” as a way of torturing our enemies. “Wine Boarding” is far, far better. Please ask Cersei Lannister for Instructions. (Plus points for things going full circle for Cersei - “Confess!” and “Shame!” you bitch. Haha!)4. Tommem did a Season 1 Bran Stark. Unfortunately, this is not the North and you are not a Greenseer. Say goodbye to House Baratheon, fellas.5. The Citadel’s Library. Wow. I wish our libraries are like that minus the chains in books. (P.S. So, that’s how they do a weather report in Westeros. Interesting.)6. They should do a Game of Thrones spin-off entitled “The Adventures of Lady Olenna Tyrell and Lyanna Mormont”. Or “The Queen of Burns and Comebacks”. Those ladies. I just can’t. Haha!7. I think our Government should consult Arya Stark and Varys regarding an efficient and fast transportation across continents. Maybe they can ease our travel and commuting woes. Ang bilis nilang mag-travel ano?8. That scene of Liam Cunningham/Ser Davos Seaworth crying and mourning the death of Shereen. The feels. So. Much. Feels.9. Daenerys made a good decision to leave Daario at Mereen and to make Tyrion Lannister Hand of the Queen. I can’t wait to see the showdown between Tyrion and QyBURN. (P.S. I hope Jorah Mormont makes a comeback next season. Yay.)10. “You have to protect him, Ned” is this show’s “After all this time? Always” to Harry Potter. And the way they shifted from Baby Jon Snow to the present-day “King in the North” White Wolf was a pure, glorious, cinematic moment. Wow. (R+L=J bitches!)11. I never thought that I would hear the statement “The King in the North!” again after season 1. Wow. That scene - fueled by LAdy Mormont’s sass - gave me chiils.12. That scene when Cersei was crowned the new Queen of Westeros? Wow. It captured the rise-of-a-new-villain vibe - the color grading, the mood, the musical score, and Lena Heady’s resting bitch face. I can’t wait for next season!13. The last scene when Dany together with the fleet of Dorne and the Iron Islands gives us a glimpse of what is to come next year. It will be exciting since, together with tthat armada, we have the Night’s King beyond the wall ready to wreck havoc, the newly-installed King in the North, and the Ruler of Westeros whom everyone hates.14. The men and women behind this show have raised the bar so high, they have to outdo themselves in the next 2 (?) seasons.(5 Stars for being the Best Game of Thrones episode ever.) -- source link
