I'm thinking S6 has potential to be one of the best seasons yet, but considering the synopsis...I'm really not sure how on Earth are they planning to wrap this thing up in 13 more episodes after this.
NWQ: IKR. Probably for more than half of Winds of Winter. I expect Dany's chapters in that hypothetical pook 6 to be torture. Her chapters in ADWD were insufferable.

I think Dany will be stuck at Vaes Dothrak till Drogon Ex Machina sweeps her up again. Even if she can make the new Khalissar join her, how will she transport them to Westeros with no fleet?
Or is that where the Ironborn come in? HMMMMMM

I think the answer as to how they'll wrap this up so quickly is: By the end of the season, there'll basically be two main factions left. The alliance in the North under Jon, and Dany coming in from the east, probably with support from the Greyjoys and Dorne. I really am thinking Cersei is going to kill all the Tyrells and the Faith, and burn King's Landing down this season. The Freys and the Boltons all get massacred. The Lannister's will basically be done, without any allies to back them up. It'll be easy for Dany to just sweep the South, and by that point the White Walkers will have invaded and that will be the main focus.

I've been thinking of Ramsay's burning crosses. At first I thought the flayed bodies would be Stannis and Roose, but now I'm not sure of that. Some nobodies maybe? Or who do you think gets the Bolton treatment?
Escargot: That makes sense. Yeah, by this season's end the number of players will have decreased quite a bit.

Aidan Gillen spoke to EW about LF's return: www.ew.com/article/2016/05/11/game-thrones-littlefinger . No improv apparently on set, the script is followed to the letter. Benioff & Weiss run a tight ship I do like the idea that Petyr fools everyone even himself if he could. Loved some of the scenes Aidan himself liked. The ladder, the Ned one. The Roz was creepy and scary good scene for Petyr and Aidan's acting but horrible for me in terms of how threatening he was!
