Wow, what a season this has been, but then again you can say that with the past seasons. Besides it's flaws (mostly from writing and character decisions). This season has been great and really pushes of what it can manage to pull off, while you watch it at home for free.
This isn't anything new, but hey they great every year. Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, and Iwan Rheon. The rest of the cast are all great and really add something to their characters. But the real stand out this season (for me) was Kit Harington. Ever since the first season and now, both Harington and the character has come along way. You can see a difference when you think back. Becoming more stronger and legendary, deserving the title "King of the North".
Season 6 contains possibly one of the best episodes that has ever shown on TV. It terms of scale and visuals, it's pretty cinematic and nothing quite like it. Those episodes are "Battle of the Bastards" and "The Winds of Winter". Where can I even begin, it's everything that makes great TV, just put on a grader scale. The acting, cinematography, directing, sound, etc. All of these are too good to fully express with words.
My problems with the season is mostly to do with writing and certain character decisions that doesn't make sense for the characters to make. The scene where Arya gets stabbed repeatably around the stomach area by an assassin, which in the universe of the show (or reality itself) that would mean death. But somehow after a couple of bandages and some soup, shes fine. Like what? And why is she out in the open strolling around when she knows very well someone is out to kill you who can take different appearances. It was pretty stupid and out of character.
While Jon Snows death in the last season was shocking and unexpected, but now it kinda feels like a cheap gag at the viewers. After months of waiting and leaked photos of behind the scenes service on the web, it became very obvious he wasn't dead. While not as insulting as the cliff hanger from The Walking Dead, although it doesn't feel like something they would pull off. I guess it's for viewers and ratings, but you don't need to do that since it's one of the most popular TV shows on right now. I didn't read the books and I'm not sure if it was in the book or not. If it was then I take back my criticism. And that's really it for problems.

Overall rating: Bring on season 7.
