My expectations are really low.

Me too. Low expectations only way to go. Otherwise, we watch each episode waiting and judging and cringing - although i expect to do a fair amount of that.

The thing i'm most looking forward to in s6 is Bloodraven/Bran's storyline. The showrunners have punted on First Men, Old Gods mojo thus far, but i think its going to be huge in Martin's story and key to Jon's resurrection and learning patentage. i expect to be disappointed (in show).

A while back, predictions on s6 were raised. I watched the last couple of episodes of s5 and was going to throw some stuff out there, but i got depressed and lost steam. I did notice a couple things that i missed earlier. Here they are, tell me what you think:

1) i initially thought Trystane was a dead duck. Figured he'd be a hostage in KL, at best. Upon re-watch, i realized that they were on a Dornish ship, surrounded by Dornish crew and guard. I now think Trystane is free to do whatever he wants, and suspect Jamie ends up in KL empty-handed.

2) I was struck by how different Jon's assassination was in show vs book. In book, its carried out in daylight, in open, witnessed by competing factions, and spear-headed by bean-counter Marsh. I expect holy hell to break out. In show, it was carried out in dark, seemingly in secret, witnessed by few and lead by a-hole Thorne. The only evidence of intention was the sign. I still expect hell to break out, but it will be Jon who's bringing it.

Cheers!
