After a slow last three episodes, Season 6 Episode 9 reminded all of us why Game of Thrones is not only the best television series currently airing, but the best television show of all time. This cements Season 6 of Game of Thrones as one of the top 3 seasons so far. The episode began with an intense scene that returned a much-needed adrenaline rush to Daenerys' storyline. That alone would have been an outstanding highlight of any Game of Thrones episode, but immediately after we switch to Jon's storyline and witness a suspenseful and outstanding battle with satisfying action and resolution. I've never witnessed a greater battle in all of television and film. Although the battle in Lord of the Rings was much larger with a higher budget, Battle of the Bastards pulls on our heart strings with characters we have both loved and hated for years and gives us a real experience of medieval combat. The camera-work, directing, acting, writing and special effects was all perfect. I wouldn't dare spoil this episode for anyone, as it was a complete privilege to watch. Through all the sorrow, triumph and heart- pounding action, all I can say is this: The North Remembers.
