Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Brutal Showdowns Fans Are Desperate To See

You want it to happen. I want it to happen. HBO, make it so.

Game of Thrones is all about grudges. Whether they're between ancient houses or current individuals, over matters of huge importance or petty spats, they're the lifeblood of the show. Often, the show's writing is so good that the best battles are fought with words, but whether the combatants are armed with silver tongues or silver swords, the showdowns are usually epic. You've got genuine hatred flowing between enemies all because of a last name and the deeds of a long-dead king, there are young assassins being raised up to seek revenge, and then there's a pair of brothers who, if they clashed, would probably shake the planet to its core if they ever locked swords. We go to Thrones for a deep, sprawling storyline with twists and turns at every opportunity, but no matter how keen you are to see words above action, a classic one-v-one duel is always a highlight of any season. Brienne and The Hound's merciless clash was colossal, and while that satisfied the fans for a while, we. want. MORE. And again, some of the most memorable duels have been slugged out in fiery conversations with one particular showdown in the middle of erupting. There are so many potential showdowns we'd love to see in Season 6, but will any of them make it to the screen?
