Heroic Hollywood’s Guide To ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6

  • 11. The return of the Freys and the Siege of Riverrun

As I’m writing this, Season 6 seems more and more like arc-welding; finally getting back to points missed or forgotten when adapted from the novels and tying them back in to the main narrative. Case in point, the Riverland Houses Tully and Frey last seen in Season 3. The victim and the perpetrator of the Red Wedding respectively, heir Edmure (Tobias Menzies) remains a captive of the Freys while uncle Brynden “Blackfish” Tully (Clive Russell) holds their ancestral castle Riverrun, the last holdout of Robb Stark’s disastrous bid for King in the North, in defiance of the disgusting patriarch Walder Frey (David Bradley).

After the detour to Dorne last year, expect Jaime (Nikolai Coster-Waldau) to leave the capital to journey here, seeking a peaceful resolution to the siege. Given that this is Game of Thrones, it’s unlikely there is one to be had.
