Season 6 is my favorite. Though I am still riding the high, so that may change soon. Season 4 is probably my second favorite right now.

Season 5's episode 9 was the only one I disliked.

marwash22
season 5's episode 9 was episode 8, if that makes sense.

S4 is the standard for spectacle. Good as it was, I think recency bias is causing S6 to be ranked a bit higher by some than it should be. Book readers may have known the Red Wedding was coming. But there's still not a single moment in the show that approaches it for emotional impact. But comparing that to a large-scale battle is apples and oranges.

Yeah, hardhome was epic. And the red wedding was amazing, I was in such disbelief when I first watched it. Except the rest of the episode wasn't anything to write home about.

marwash22
red wedding is the only time watching tv that i was emotionally disturbed. I wasn't ready to see a pregnant woman get repeatedly stabbed in the stomach.

that was a gut-punch. all puns intended.
