the one with the old bearded guy who got killed by a sword. 🙂

I would pick Battle of the Bastards as my favorite. episode 9 of season 6.

Spoilers I assume are OK  
The one where Dany frees the slaves. I watch it for just that scene.  
“So, if I hold this, they have to obey me?”

_Hardhome_ was brilliant storytelling. They built it up like there was going to be a big conflict between the Wildlings who sided with Jon and the Wildlings who didn’t, and then the Night’s King shows up and wrecks everybody’s plans. I was stunned the first time I saw it, and the scene where the dead rise still gives me chills.

Are probably the big ones. Pretty much all of seasons 3 and 4 are great though.

This is what I was looking for. I have seen the entire series and enjoyed it even after some initial reluctance.

Only going to have access to HBO for a fairly short time and was looking highlights on the second go round

Thanks for your inpu
