Millions around the world are waiting, they're biding their time, they're racing through hours upon hours of TV perfection in a bid to rejig their memory ahead of Game Of Thrones Season 6.

Lord of the Rings is a lazy, predictable comparison, but considering how much fans think they know about that world, it's staggering to think that Thrones is five times longer than the movies put together, and that gap is set to grow even further.

There's a whole lot to take in, and whether you've been one of many ploughing through the seasons or not, here are some of the cool points to pick out from Game Of Thrones Season 4, from neat sidenotes to ominous foreshadowing.

10. The Dwarf Re-Enactment

It could come across as a rare daft moment in Thrones, but the dwarves' re-enactment of the War of the Five Kings at Joffrey's ill-fated wedding feast is really something.

The scene doesn't actually take place to this extent in the books, but it's a great addition. It's certainly not an enjoyable scene, like many fantastic moments in Thrones, but that's the point.

Joffrey is genuinely entertained by the degradation of the dwarves, though the whole debacle perturbs the entire audience gathered to watch it. It was one final reminder that Joffrey deserved every single drop of poison that entered his bloodstream.
