Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Door'
Why?!
With The Door, Game of Thrones gave us one of the most mind-bending episodes of the show to date... and also one of the most heartbreaking.
From start to finish, and from Castle Black to Beyond-The-Wall (via Essos) it was absolutely thrilling and captivating stuff. It progressed the various plots of the season nicely (with the exception of King's Landing, which took a week off), and set things up for the remainder of the year, as well as a potential game-changer for the entire series, which opens it up to a new realm of possibilities.
With Sansa and Jon busy preparing for war, Arya continuing her training but facing her past, an emotional moment between Jorah and his Khaleesi, a new player on the scene in Meereen, a new King of the Iron Islands, and of course that ending, it all added up to the best episode of Season 6 so far, and indeed an instant classic instalment of Thrones. It also means that the fallout from all of those storylines will be felt across the show, certainly in the short-term, but for much longer in some cases.
Once the shock has worn off and the tears have started to dry, The Door left us with a lot of questions.
10. ​Will Arya Kill The Actress?
Arya's storyline continues to make some progress this week, as after getting beaten by the Waif (again, though she's getting better) she is given a second chance at being no one, and sent to watch a play.
The reason for that is she has a new target: the lead actress in Westerosi comedy, who plays Cersei Lannister. Although Cersei is a name on Arya's kill list, it's the actress added to no one's, but will she be able to go through with it?
Although she has a plan for how it could happen, there's plenty of suggestion in this episode (and previous ones) that she's still got a lot of Arya Stark inside her, and it remains to be seen whether she'll take this next step on the path to becoming a Faceless Man.
