Episode 9 - Battle of the bastards Directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
This is the most expensive episode of season 6.
It has 2 locations - A.Winterfell. - when everything seems lost for the starks the army of the vale arrive commanded by littlefinger and Sansa. B.Meereen. - Kelly C will punish all masters/slavers.
starks themselves are hopeless about rickon's situation that rickon dies before the battle. but he is brought to the battle by ramsay before jon snow. jon snow is amazed to see him alive. ramsay asks rickon to run to his brother. rickon runs away from ramsey and jon is trying to save him with arrows on horseback but just as he reaches near jon an arrow hits him and he dies. melisandre is with jon. she does not do anything magical and jon wins the battle without any magic. she is just there to support him. the battle begins with a big handicap to jon as he is outnumbered 6 to 1. there are a lot of skirmishes by arrow. and ramsay is a good commander.there are 3 main commanders on the stark side. jon snow tormund and davos. as the battle progresses boltons encircle the starks and the body of the dead basically creates a wal between the starks and boltons and the stark army is being pushed against one another. they try to break free but are unsuccessful. one of the top moments of the episode is the fight between tormund and smalljon umber. there are a lot of rumors about tormund's fate in this episode but he survives this fight. when everything seems lost for the starks the army of the vale arrive commanded by littlefinger and sansa. they break the circle of the bolton army and cause massive losses to the bolton army. this casues the coward ramsay to flee to winterfell which have now closed the doors. wun wun leads a charge against the door and manages to break it to the delight of jon but he is injured greviously in the battle. wun wun dies in the battle. jon captures ramsay and puts him in the cellars with his dogs. he effectively dies this season. he is devoured by his own dogs.
meereen
there are spectacular cgi scenes where drogon and the other 2 dragons destroy the fleet of the masters. the other 2 are released when the tower is under attack. sons of the harpy are fighting and killing on the streets of meereen when they are trounced by the dothraki. yara and theon arrive at meereen at the best possible moment when there is a attack by sea from boats and daenerys needs ships to fight and they arrive with ships. daenerys will punish all masters and the punishment will be meted out by grey worm against the slave masters.

GRRM could never be a plumber; that crack is so big that anyone in a mile radius would be sucked in like a black hole.

someone put it pretty well on Reddit:
Stephen King loves writing, so that's what he does whenever he can. if he's home alone and it's raining outside, he'll bang out a 300+ page book in one afternoon.
GRRM, on the other hand, loves being a writer. he goes to cons, goes to talk shows, does interviews, and only writes whenever he's not busy with other stuff

I know the feeling, I want to write so much but I'm always so busy and no one gives me feedback (I tend not to count channers because they tend to be over-picky if your name doesn't have weight).
It gets demoralizing after a while, but you have to be open to criticism. GRRM is filled with asspatters. Even his editors didn't cut out the bloat in his later novels because they thought everything he wrote was gold. Dorne should have been cut down, so should Mereen

Anybody seen the Maisefag around? I need to um, talk to them.
