Game Of Thrones Season 6: 25 Most Epic Moments

10. Starks Finally Reunited

We've been teased with a Stark reunion for quite a while now. The showrunners have cruelly dangled it in front of our faces several times. Arya at the Twins moments before the Red Wedding. Bran seeing Jon at Craster's Keep. Arya at the gates of the Eyrie with Sansa inside.

With Sansa en route to Castle Black and Jon preparing to leave the Wall, it seemed like we'd been had once again. Then the gates opened and there was Sansa along with Brienne and Pod. This being Game of Thrones, we half expected an arrow to pierce her heart before Jon reached her. Jon and Sansa have never seemed like they have a lot in common but seeing them embrace after everything they've each been through warmed the heart.

The reunion didn't just bring together two Starks, it also brought together Brienne and Tormund. No one saw this relationship coming but the sight of Tormund giving Brienne the eyes as he digs into a chicken is one of the best images the show has given us.
