Game of Thrones fans beware! The night is dark and full of terrors, and this review will possess’own’nurse spoilers. Which could be a scarier prospect.###If you're in need of a catch up, you can read this to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure you up to speed. This week: Wow. Grr! Heh! Run! Sob.###Sansa receives word from Littlefinger and she rebuffs his offer assistance in person.###Does Littlefinger truly feel remorseful in/with regard to’concerning’regarding what happened to Sansa at the hands of Ramsay? It certainly feels that way, despite’in spite of’albeit knowing him, he could just be playing up to that in an attempt to stop Sansa from having Brienne behead him. Still, the scene gives Sophie Turner a chance to unleash cold fury – simply in/with regard to’concerning’regarding cing him to confront what Littlefinger, even if it was through inaction instead of on purpose, is responsible in/with regard to’concerning’regarding – and was a cracking embark on an episode. Nice to possess’own’nurse Sansa venting her righteous anger again after all her tribulations.###Anya continues to train. She's astoken ed to watch and prepare to kill an actress (Lady Crane, played by Essie Davis) who is perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding ming locally.###The theme of anger continues in Arya's story as she's confronted with a painful part of her past and worries with regards to’concerning’with respect to her second chance at assassinating someone in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the Many-Faced God. Though her fight scenes with the Waif were taking on the feeling of the Slowest Training Montage Ever, there's some much needed relief (comic as well as eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything else) in her astoken ment. The play-within-the-reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue is a comedic highlight, poking fun at the reserve s and series' own history, and yes that's Richard E. Grant playing Robert Baratheon and giving new meaning to "hamming it up." Plus Kevin Eldon as a buffoonish Ned! All that is the perfect counterpoint to poor Arya's pain as she watches events that possess’own’nurse scarred her in/with regard to’concerning’regarding life being used as entertainment. Imagine someone from Macbeth watching The Reduced Shakespeare Company… Maisie Williams plays it perfectly, and we'll be happy even if we acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to spend a brief time in the actors' firm’enterprise again.###Backstory time in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Bran as he witnesses the Children of the Forest create the Night's King.###The White Walkers as the ultimate WMD in Westeros? Yes, the Children, threatened by the advance of the First Men, created Brian (our name in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the Night's King) and led to all the trouble in Westeros. Bad elven-type in/with regard to’concerning’regarding est-dwellers, wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile ! A dramatic and cool way to fill in some of the backstory (even if it would seem to deviate from the reserve 's tale of ban’prohibit den love and an ambitious leader), this has the chill of human sacrifice and the eye-catching’good-shaped’appealing’charming’fascinating’gorgeous photography of a National Geographic spread.###It's Kingsmoot time in Pyke as the next ruler of the ironborn is chosen. And it's Euron! Yara and Theron make rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent their escape bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e he can be crowned.###Sounding in/with regard to’concerning’regarding all the world like a poke at America's current election year – a intense’fierce’exquisite woman who believes she's earned the chance to lead is threatened by a chatty bloke who insults e grossly one – it's a caustic look at politics in the Iron Islands. The typical waft of Westeros sexism returns as the roaring crowd chooses Euron over Yara, who they possess’own’nurse trusted to lead in the past. And poor old Theon: despite approve’ consent’endorse’applaud ing to maintain’sustain his sister, he's still the recipient of jokes with regards to’concerning’with respect to his missing naughty bits. Solid Trumping from Pilou Asbæk, who also does well in the scene where he's effectively drowned to be king (would hate to claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate what this lot do to witches!), but Gemma Whelan is once again the standout as Yara, who sees which way the tide is turning and makes a break in/with regard to’concerning’regarding it.###Daenerys learns of Jorah's condition and orders him to find a cure. She rides out with her new Dothraki army.###A quiet week in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Dany and co., but a much needed pause after last week's fireworks. The pain in Dany's eyes upon learning of Jorah's grayscale infection is palpably brought to life by Emilia Clarke, and Iain Glen typically acts the hell out of the lacerated warrior. Now we just want him to start a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous charity cause, complete with coloured leather wrist straps in a Quest For The Cure scenario.###Tyrion and Varys recruit a Red Priestess (Kinvara, played by Ania Bukstein) to help them convince the individual that they should stay loyal to Dany.###Another refreshing transform’alter of gear in/with regard to’concerning’regarding these two. While we do love them as a comedy double act, Varys in peculiar scores some glimpses of real emotion as his own tortured past is brought up by Kinvara. It's an effective little moment, and there's still at least one laugh line with Tyrion providing the weekly crack with regards to’concerning’with respect to Dany's long list of names, "Mother of Dragons, Breaker of chains… All that."###As the Three-Eyed Raven slumbers, Bran takes the chance in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a little solo vision questing, but falls afoul of the Night's King###Whoops. Silly Bran. If you despite’in spite of’albeit t the birth of the Night's King was the main horror event of the episode, then you'd reckoned without Bran's brush with the death-dealing White Walkers. And in a supremely creepy moment, the Night's King sees him, and all the wights turn to look. It's abundant’ample’plentiful to send an army of shivers marching down your spine. Someone needs to teach that boy a lesson with regards to’concerning’with respect to not amble’stroll’bimble’meander’roam ing off on the astral plane alone! But if it means captivating imagery like tonight, we'll allow it.###Sansa and Jon start planning how they're going to re-take Winterfell and the North. Brienne is astoken ed a peculiar task and is concerned with regards to’concerning’with respect to Sansa's safety.###The planning meeting is all well and rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent , but it's the heart to heart between Sansa and Brienne that makes this peculiar visit to the castle work. There are so many layers here: Brienne's misgiving’fret in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her charge, her comments with regards to’concerning’with respect to the others – nailing Jon in peculiar (see the summary), the steel spine that the Stark daughter has developed and a real sense of the quick friendship that has developed. And the brief nudges of humour are still welcome, even from Jon and peculiar ly Tormund giving Brienne a "hey, baby" smirk and receiving an eye roll in return. Get that rom-com fan fiction written, individual . Bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e it's too late.###Bran's foolish actions bring doom down upon his small party and the Raven. A sacrifice is made.###Hodor. Hodor. NOOOOOOODOOORRRR! The enormous’vast’massive’tremendous gest scene of the episode is also its most tragic as the Night's King brings his army to the Raven's cave. We could quibble with little aspects – Leaf's giving her life to save the others with a magic grenade smacks of Walking Dead-style deus ex machina, but it's spectacular nonetheless. And can Meera and Bran really escape the wights given how slowly they're moving compared to the undead critters, even with Hodor holding the door as long as he can? Still, it's all in/with regard to’concerning’regarding given with the brutality of the White Walker army, some astounding scenes – the Night's King and his lieutenants crossing the fire, while the wights cannot and swarm elsewhere, the presumed death of the Raven in fantastical style – and that final heartbreak. Just as we learn how Hodor became the man we knew, he goes out like a hero. Sure, we don't see him die, but Kristian Nairn, who has played him all this time, has given an interview saying it's the character's final episode (barring flashbacks) as far as he knows. It's an incredibly sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious and yet rousing moment in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the character and full credit to the team in/with regard to’concerning’regarding pulling off the whole scene.###Why is this such a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous deal? Well, there are a few reasons. First and in/with regard to’concerning’regarding emost, aside from John Snow's oh-so-predictable resurrection, this is the first seismic event since the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue deviated from the reserve s. This is something no-one knew was coming. Secondly, it wasn't just that Hodor died – it's not as if the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue has ever been shy with regards to’concerning’with respect to offing major characters – it's the heartbreaking knowledge that Bran, whom Hodor loved, was not merely’barely responsible in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his death but in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his entire condition. The mechanics of exactly how will likely remain fuzzy until George R.R. Martin publishes The Winds of Winter, but it seems like Meera's entreaty to "Hold the door," while Bran was simultaneously controlling Hodor's body in the present and watching him as a boy in the past caused some kind of short-circuit. The command to hold the door became imprinted on him in the past, causing a seizure that left him unable to say anything but a truncation of that command from that moment on. the result is both hugely tragic and immensely impactful (it's been five reserve s and six seasons coming) and undoubtedly one that will cement Hodor's place as a fan favourite character in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ever after.###Quite simply this was one of the best episodes of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue to date and a highlight in a season that has been establish ing well after a sluggish start. But now we're going to go and possess’own’nurse a quick weep over Hodor. What if he becomes a wight? The brain boggles…###READ THIS: Who are Jon Snow's real parents?###Highlight: Hodor! Hodor! Hodor!###Lowlight: Hodor…###Kill of the week: We've explained the sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious dest death, but it's also RIP Summer, who falls prey to the wights. Dire wolves are becoming seriously endangered.###Quote of the week: "He seems trustworthy. A bit brooding, perhaps, but I suppose that's understandable, considering…" Sing it, Brienne.###MVP: Hodor.###Random despite’in spite of’albeit t: Foracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure Sean Bean playing Ned Stark's ghost in Ned Reckoning. We'll cast Kevin Eldon instead. Sorry Sean… Your chance just died.###READ MORE: E grossly thing you need to know with regards to’concerning’with respect to Game of Thrones season 6###**Season 6, Episode review guide **###Episode 1 – The Red Woman###Episode 2 – Home###Episode 3 – Oathbreaker###Episode 4 – Book of the Stranger###Episode 6 – Blood of My Blood###Episode 7 – The Broken Man###Episode 8 – No One###Episode 9 – Battle of the Bastards###Episode 10 – The Winds of Winter
