Thank you for patiently reading through the GoT series blogs. This would be the last in the list. I am extremely sorry that they have been a tad too long. Just felt I wouldn't be doing enough justice if at least the major talking points of the season, the show and the author are not covered in their entireties. I have packed small surprises in the end. It's there in the middle as well! No no no. Please don't scroll down immediately. Kindly make your way through the end as such and have yourself a spectacular finish like the GoT Finale.... :) :)
Continuing from where I left in Part 2 as it ended with me speaking on Women Empowerment,
From being a meek, blinded, weak and weak-kneed individual, Arya had stupendously transformed herself into a ruthless fighting warrior with due support from her Needle. It was a good retribution when she slits Walder Frey's throat right in his own backyard. Likewise, Sansa, who if you remember was a quixotically romantic person when she wanted to marry Joffrey, underwent immense upheavals with the Boltons and Lannisters to the extent that she was sangfroid and accepted the hardened fact that her bro, Rickon isn't going to see the light in the evening during 'The Battle of the Bastards'. She also shows and vents her frustration out to Jon that her intelligence could be of great help for forming the strategy to vanquish the dreaded Ramsay once and for all. But alas, it fell on deaf ears and Jon was made to look like a blundering fool in the fight! However, that small smile which Sansa gives at the end when Ramsay was torn apart by his beloved dogs told the extent to which she had rejoiced the horrific happening for all the monstrous atrocities that Ramsay had inflicted on her. Nevertheless, the journey of the growth and development of Sansa as a very practical and hard person is quite incredible.
It was also a great scene especially the flirtatious smiles and confabulations when Yara meets Dany and forges an alliance with Dany in exchange for her to rule the Iron Islands. The banter was simply too good to be true between the two power laded and strong-headed ladies.
The Sabaash Conversation...!
In spite of all such good happenings, you simply cannot forget or ignore Cersei, however bad and vile she is. She single-handedly masterminded and destroyed the Sept and the entire Tyrell's generation sans Olenna when Cersei was to be brought before the trial. It was only Margaery who knew something was awry and something sinister was going on right beneath their noses when Cersei refused to show up. Just like the wood-headed Jon who refused to hear out Sansa's know-hows on Ramsay, the High Sparrow was so self-righteous and self-satisfyingly smug that he was blown to smithereens before he even knew what hit him even though Margaery made valiant attempts to tell him that a big tragedy was on the horizon. The cruel and sadistic grin which Cersei gives when she sips into her drink was more than enough to display her callous, ruthless and cold-blooded feelings that she had been harbouring for all of them who died in the Sept not to forget the the wicked 'Shame, Shame' she utters when Sept Unella was left alone with Gregor. I really don't want to even know what happened to her! The icing on the cake for Team Women in S6 has got to be Olenna Tyrell for the way she completely sews the Snakes' mouths when she is in deep discussion with Ellaria to take revenge on Cersei.
No? Good. Let the grown women speak..!

But, the best reaction of the season award should undoubtedly go to Sam Tarly when he has his first sights on the thoroughly imposing, utterly overwhelming and absolutely amazing racks of lakhs of books in the Citadel. It was like when you meet Rajnikanth or Salman Khan during a flight journey and you tell them 'Hello' and the extremely excited, enthused and emotion you feel when they also say 'Hi' in response! Kudos to the VFX team who had burnt their midnight oil to create such a mind-numbing, gorgeous and a scorcher of an eye candy setting.
That Single overpowering reaction said it all..!!

Speaking of Kudos, GoT has always had some scintillating BGMs throughout the course of all the seasons. However, E10, in particular, is by far THE BEST of all - the gloomy, haunting, shady and sinister overtones of the scenes were perfectly captured and presented delightfully in a rhythmic cadence of the sudden rise and fall in the terrific and chilling piano backscore to the extent that the music not only complemented but also dominated the gripping screenplay right till the very end until the Media Player can play no more. No nominations are even needed to be there for the music category for this year's awards as the undisputed winner is GoT.
As we are on the lines of undisputed, sex and nudity had formed an integral part of the GoT universe like Tom and Jerry! It was really heartening to see that the two essential components were kept to a bare minimum, pun is wickedly intended!, but a lot of emphasis and stress was given more to the plot, story, music and VFX in S6. Hope this trend continues in the next season as well.
I am not much of a conspiracy theorist. But, from what I have seen and the signs given in the show is that Cersei might turn out to be a Mad Queen and murdered by Jaime (Reminding you the Prophecy here!) which may earn him the moniker 'The Queen Slayer' as well. Dany and Jon may end up marrying each other and destroy the White Walkers with Snow and most of the men like Little Finger being killed in the battle. Valar Morghulis! Remember? So, No brainer. Dany might ascend and sit comfortably on the uncomfortable throne provided she is also not killed which would eventually leave us with only one worthy contender - Sansa - to rule in the event of Dany's uneventful death. Also, maybe, we get to see Jaime and Brienne romancing each other more after he kills Cersei. But, Valar Morghulis! So, Jaime might have to die as well.
Last but not the least, the dull murmuring of the choir starts to sing, the flags gently sway, the impressive dragon faced, gold-plated ships floating forwards in the water, the choir antes up their tone to mesmerizing degree and hits the high note consistently with regular crests and troughs like a musical sinusoidal wave, the cameras from the top view shows the gigantic shadows of the formidable dragons cast upon the ships below. Suddenly, the redoubtable and awe-inspiring dragons swoop down with their loud screeches flapping their mighty and powerful wings by nonchalantly dipping them into the water before rising up and swiftly flying towards their mother, Dany who is in the fore front of all the ships gracefully smiling with her friends. The camera shows a captivating and breath-taking fleet of ships en route to Westeros with the potent dragons waiting in the wings, literally!, to wreck havoc and destruction in the coming seasons.
As the famous Greek saying goes "A face that could launch a thousand ships". In the case with Dany, it is not only 1000 ships but also her nearly indestructible dragons as well!

BRING ON THE IMAX FOR S6 E10..!! ...Magizhchi...:) :)
PS 1:
Just like how Rama saved his Brahmastra for the last, I had saved the sweet devil for the best. She not only stole my heart but also stunned it. Yes. I am speaking about Lyanna Mormont. This badass character is the favorite for everyone as the screen blacked out for good this year. Young. Fiery. Strong. Authoritative. Commanding. Highly Pragmatic. No Nonsense Attitude. Self-Assured and Masterful.
That inspiring and rousing speech she gave still lingers in the mind and gives me goosebumps which not only left Jon Snow wide-eyed but also me. House Mormont remembers! The North remembers!!
Lyanna Mormont is the find of S6. It would be good if we get to see her more in S7 and S8. Oh. But wait. All the so-called favorite characters are the first to be killed in this show.. :'(
PS 2:
The one epic scene which simply blew everyone's head away. At least mine. Plug in your head phones. Needless to say, keep the volume to the max and revel yourself in the aural concoction of intensely stirring beats and vocals.
