6. Welcome Back Bran

After having a year off, Bran is one of the big returnees to Season 6, and after sitting out the first episode we get our reintroduction to him here.

Much like the Greyjoys, Bran hasn't always had the most interesting plot arc, and yet much like the Greyjoys, here he is back and it feels really exciting to see where it's all headed.

Aside from the flashbacks, which I will get to, it's a good reintroduction to Bran, Meera, and the rest at the weirwood tree. There's the new Three-Eyed Raven, played by Max von Sydow (a great addition to the cast for Season 6), an improved-looking Leaf (now played by Kae Alexander), and it was good to see Meera get some screentime rather than just being there, as she struggles with her place and the grief she's no doubt still feeling after Jojen's death.
