9. The Non-Stark Sibling Reunions

HBO

The Stark/Snow reunion was the biggie, and thus deserves a bit more space to talk about it. The other sibling reunions weren't as major, but they still had some importance.

For Theon and Yara, it's mostly there to remind us about the ongoing Iron Islands plot, but it's still an emotionally charged moment, especially knowing all that Theon's been through, and it's a nice development to see him throwing his weight behind his sister.

Then there's Loras and Margaery. It's nice to see Finn Jones actually getting some material to sink his teeth into, even if it is as a person who has been completely broken. Given they've generally wasted his character up until this point, and Jones has been cast as Iron Fist, there's a good chance that we'll see bye to him at some stage this year, so maybe he can go out on a high (acting wise, if a total low-point for Loras).

As for Margaery, it's great to see her remaining strong despite what she's going through, and learn that she's still smart enough not to buy what the High Sparrow's selling.
