Game Of Thrones: 8 Minor Details That Must Be Explored Further In Season 6

Trying to condense the key Game Of Thrones storylines into a neat little package is trickier than staying alive for more than one whole season in Westeros. It's near impossible. There's a mad scramble for the Iron Throne with a weak child sitting on it, his scheming mother has been destroyed for attempting to get the Queen executed, meanwhile the King's 'uncle' (father) went on a mission to retrieve his 'niece' (daughter) from Dorne but ended with the girl's death in his arms, assassinated. Up north some ice demons launched a staggering assault on the free folk and the Night's Watchmen betrayed their Lord Commander with a dagger to the chest. There's a child assassin being raised across the sea, the key to the North is fleeing Winterfell, and this is all forgetting the fact that the strongest claimant to the Throne is amassing a dragon-led army to take what is hers. So that's the basics, but there's a reason the show has already racked up 50 hours of on-screen footage. The side stories, subtle plot hints and episodes riddled with foreshadowing all add to the drama, with a stack of smaller details ready to become integral storylines in the upcoming Season 6.
