Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Ups And 2 Downs From 'Blood Of My Blood'

6. Rejoining The Frey

Game of Thrones Walder Frey
HBO

The world's worst wedding host is back! There are a number of returnees in Season 6 - with a couple of others in this episode, and one mentioned ahead of next week - but this is one of the most villainous, given Walder Frey is - in part, at least - the man responsible for the Red Wedding.

The scene itself is filled with exposition, as the show reminds viewers of just who these people are, and also why they're back now. But that's easy to overlook when they've brought back David Bradley, who doesn't miss a beat as the most bitter Lord around.

One of the other returnees here is Edmure Tully, the guy who was actually getting married at the Red Wedding (and the one from that event everyone forgets about). It transpires that he's been held prisoner by the Freys, and is now going to be used as leverage against the Blackfish.

Walder Frey is back, the Blackfish will be next week, and Brienne, Pod, Jaime, and Bronn are all going to join the fray as well; the Riverlands just got real interesting again.
