8. Good Fortune

"I wish you good fortune in the wars to come."

I'm amazed HBO haven't been plastering that all over their promotional material and merchandise, because it's basically the slogan of Season 6.

Although Mance Rayder first said it back in Season 5, it's been called back to a number of times this year, from Ser Arthur Dayne to Littlefinger and the Red Priestess Kinvara.

The season finale couldn't pass without acknowledging it, and two characters got in on the act. Benjen wished Bran "good fortune," before Melisandre made a reference to the "great war to come."

As if the fact that the great war meanings the battle against the White Walkers - Ice vs Fire - just look at who is saying it in this episode: Benjen - ice, and Melisandre - fire.
