Game Of Thrones Season 6: 8 Things You Might've Missed In 'Home'
"I am the storm!"
After a solid season opener, Home delivered a great Game of Thrones episode, albeit one very much dominated by its ending.
Said conclusion was, as literally every person in the world now surely knows, whether they watch the show or not, the resurrection of Jon Snow. Nine months in the making, it was great to finally have the truth about his future revealed when his eyes opened right at the very end.
There was much more to the episode than just that though, such as Ramsay killing his father, Theon's emotional farewell, Tyrion with the dragons, and a flashback to Winterfell when Ned Stark was just a kid.
The quality of the episode alone makes this latest instalment worthy of a re-watch, but with so much happening all across Westeros it's almost a necessity to do so. With the exception of Arya, which is really little more than a quick check-in, every scene feels important, with hidden depths and meanings.
The Season 6 premiere, The Red Woman, was pretty heavy on the callbacks and references to years gone by on the show, and Home is no different. For example, there's the moment Ramsay kills Roose, serving as a nice parallel to the latter's own stabbing of Robb Stark. That's one example, and these are some of the others you might've missed this week.
8. Gold Will Be Their Shrouds
Cersei was forced to confront Maggy the Frog's prophecy last week, upon learning that Myrcella had died, and there's another reference to the haunting predictions this week.
When she finally gets to see her son, she asks him what colour dress Myrcella was wearing, and he responds gold. At this point we've already seen her body, and can of course attest that this is the case.
As for the prophecy, well, this ties into the line about her children dying:
"Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds..."
