Season Eight

Now you talk about a show to watch; this one should be on your list. It was not a boring show at all and I never fell asleep on it; which I tend to do at times. My Stark family came out on top!!

The first part of the season was centered around the Great War with the dead. It was a long bloody war. No help from Queen Cersei’s soldiers of course. But she gets taken care of later in the season. After all the killings with the war, Winterfell had to honor the loved ones that died.

Jon and Daenerys are to go to King’s Landing to make peace, but Daenerys has a different plan in mind. She retaliates against King’s Landing and demands her dragon to burn the entire city down even the innocent were killed. At the end Jon had to make a decision to kill Daenerys. He is jailed and later sent back to leading the Wildlings north of the wall.

With Queen Cersei gone, a new king is needed for King’s Landing and in the end Bran is picked. Sansa becomes the Queen in the North. Arya leaves on an adventure to sail around the world. In the end, the Stark family is saved. The good always wins in the end. No matter what bad came their way, they were able to overcome it.

I read reviews that everyone thinks the season was a disappointment and it was rushed. It was both of those things; but the message I got out of it was evil never wins. Hey, the season received 32 nominations so it’s worth watching and forming your own opinion. Hope you enjoy the show.

Season Seven

The Stark family had come together at last. It was a exciting time for me. Watching them get to know each other again and excepting the person they have become through the experiences and growing up they had to endure alone.

Jon Snow goes to Dragonstone to meet with Queen Daenerys in an attempt to get her to fight the war against King’s Knight army with him. He ends up falling in love with her; seems like, at first glance. He also knows she has dragon glass weaponry and wants to see if she will let him take some. He shows her the cave the dragon glass is kept in; and Daenerys sees all the writing on the walls in the caves. She agrees to let Jon take some with him. He also wants Queen Cersei of King’s landing to help with the war. So he with a group of his allies come together to take one of the ice zombies alive; takes it the King’s Landing to show Cersei that it’s real. She agrees to help; but I don’t trust she will keep her promise.

Bran Stark arrives to Winterfell and Sansa is happy to see him but is freaked out with his mannerism. He is just creepy acting and know one knows that he died and his body is occupied by the Three Eyed Raven, who is the all seeing, all knowing figure in Westerosi myths. He has had a lot of visions being the Third Eyed Raven; and knew a lot of events that happened in the past. He knows something about Jon Snow that will change his life forever.

Sansa Stark takes over Winterfell while Jon is at Dragonstone to get help. She was against his trip there but later sees that it was a good idea. She is reunited with Bran and Arya and is so happy to have them home. Sansa is becoming a stronger leader and able to lead Winterfell. She has Littlefinger to look out for. He is trying separate her and Arya with schemes. But the two sisters are smarter than him team up to execute Littlefinger. He seemed to always be a troublemaker.

Arya Stark is my favorite character. She took out Lord Walder first wiped out the entire House of Frey for the revenge of her mother and brother. I didn’t see that coming. She was on her way to King’s Landing when she learned that Jon was the King of Winterfell and that Sansa was there. Things fall into place for her when she gets there and she is at home.

A lot of interesting things happen in this season and I enjoyed it. The Starks children forever dedicated to each other. Winterfell is back even without their parents and brother to guide them. They have the Great War with the King’s Knight army. It was very intense which is all I can describe it as. The groups fought hard to defeat the knights; and it was getting to where they were giving up. Then Arya saves the day and kills the leader of the group and all the knights fall dead. Wow. It was epic. I cheered for their win and sadden to see all the friends they lost.

The best news from this season was that Jon Snow learned he is not a bastard son but the true heir to the Iron Thorne. He learned this news from his best friend and Bran. The next season hopefully will be as good as this season continuing to display good versus evil.

Season Six

The Stark family is getting closer to being back together. I’m so happy!

Jon Snow is dead. He comes back and saved by Melisandre, the lady in the red cape. I think she is a little strange too. Sansa and Jon are finally back together. They were so happy to see each other alive; so touching. They start to plan how they will take back Winterfell. They have a battle in episode nine – Battle of the Bastards. Jon Snow against Ramsay Bolton, two bastard sons. It was of course gruesome for me. Jon Snow and his men finally win with the help of Peter and his men. The only bad thing was the Starks loose their brother Rickon. Ramsey uses him as a pawn to get back at Jon.

Sansa is starting to get her urge to be strong. Ramsay did bad things to Sansa but she did survive. Once they won back Winterfell, Ramsay is put in a cage tied up. Sansa goes to visit him; and of course Ramsay talks mean to her. Sansa lets his dogs in his cage. Ramsay gets happy thinking the dogs will attack Sansa, but they turn on Ramsay and start feeding on him. That’s finally over. I just knew he would grab and pull her in the cage; but she was strong and the revenge was good to her. She left smiling.

Arya is still with that strange assassin group; and at the beginning of the season she is still blind but gets her eyesight back. She finishes her training, but soon plans her escape to Westeros. She is caught and almost killed by the group but she jumps in the river to hide. They later find her, but she still gets away. She is determined to finish her revenge list of people to take out. She ends up at the Twins in Westeros, disguises herself and kills Lord Frey.

Bran becomes the Third Eye Raven and continues to have his visions of the past. He does have an important vision of his father, Ned fighting to get inside the Tower of Joy where his sister is giving birth to baby Jon Stark. Ned’s sister gives the baby over to Ned before she dies; making Ned promise to raise Jon as his son. He escapes the White Walkers with the help of his uncle Benjen Stark. Bran makes it to the Wall to find Jon, but Jon is already gone. I tell you, Bran really gets around to be in a wheel chair.

So, the Stark Family is finally starting to get together. I can’t wait to see what the next season brings me.
