Talkin' Thrones Episode 51 - The Red Woman (Season 6 Premiere)

We're officially here, the beginning of the end. It's been a fun road on Talkin' Thrones, but it all must eventually come to an end. So here we are with the premiere of arguably the biggest and most critically acclaimed season of the show, the big one, the one that gave us Battle of the Bastards, the one that surpassed the books, it's the Season 6 premiere, entitled "The Red Woman." Despite a very rushed and completely out of place, not to mention horribly mishandled exiting of Dorne from the main storyline, the premiere picks up right after the events of last season, showing what's happened to all the characters after the meriad of cliffhangers after Season 5. The remaining Night's Watch members loyal to Jon along with Ser Davos must figure out what to do in the aftermath of Jon's death and Ser Alliser seizing control of the Watch. Ramsay picks up the pieces after the victory over Stannis and is chastised by his father for losing Sansa. Sansa & Theon are quickly caught by Ramsay's troops until an unexpected save from Brienne and Podrick. Jaime returns to King's Landing and vows to help Cersei take back what's been taken from them, while the High Sparrow starts to play the game. Arya is beaten on the streets, helpless and blind, while Tyrion casually wanders the streets in a storyline that by all right should be awesome, him ruling Meereen, but instead plays out like just spinning its wheels until they can get Daenerys back. Speaking of Daenerys, Jorah & Daario are hard after her, while she finds herself right back where she started with the Dothraki. In a rather shocking and abrupt final moment meant to further emphasize what Melisandre is capable of, we discover her take off her jeweled pendant, revealing her true, ancient form. It's a jam packed premiere that's setting up for a hard and fast paced season that's going to result in an explosive climax, and you guys can keep up with all of it right here on the #talkintvpodcast
