In the penultimate episode of season-6 of Game Of Thrones, the show finally goes where we believe it truly belongs. And not just that, it almost crosses all previous marks it has set. The show really moved forward, and things happened. Things that we have been waiting for. And it was good. Seriously!

So, the war between Boltons & Starks took place, and it was awesome. It started with Ramsey killing Rickon Stark. Which made Jon not just mad, but ready to start the fight alone. With half the army of Bolton's, it seemed like a one-sided fight, not it favor of the Starks. Until Sansa showed up with Petyr Bearish and Knights of the Vales. Jon hunted Ramsay all the way back to Winterfell, and almost beat him to death. But then, he left him for Sansa. And Sansa did good.

Ramsay Snow/Bolton is DEAD. That too eaten by his own hounds. It was pretty awesome. We were all waiting for him to die for a long time. The "new Tommy" was even more annoying. But his death was even more "well done". And the smile on Sansa's face after the death was satisfying. For all of us.

Back at Mereen, Daenerys is back in action, with all her 3 dragons. Under Tyrion's advice, she decided not to destroy everything, and everyone, but to just defeat the masters. And acquire there ships. She also accepts offer from Yara and Theon to take there 100 ships, and in turn, support Yara's claim to Iron throne, provided they stop being "naughty".

The performances of every actor on the episode was amazing. the scenes between Daenerys and Tyrion; and Daenerys and Theon & Yara were both brilliant. There was lot of subtext in each scene, which came of clearly thanks to the wonderful acting. Tyron is still not sure what's his place, but he's acting in best of spirits and best of morales as possible. The suggested sexual tension between Yara and Daenerys was quite interesting as well.

The interactions between Jon Snow and Ramsay Snow/Bolton was wonderful too. It's funny to know that Iwan Rheon (Ramsay) originally auditioned for Jon Snow. But he brings a unique despicableness to Ramsay, which was great to see being ended. It was also nice to see Kit Harrington, angry, fighting, and really mad. And the same goes for Sansa. It was nice to see her step out of her mute or whiney image, but get her revenge herself.

But the besting of the show was the battle scene. This battle scene was one of the best battle scene you have seen on screen. It gives you the true feeling of being on such a battlefield. It's just such a horrendous mess, and people keep dying, or keep getting lucky like Jon, Tormund and Davos. "Battle of the Bastards" was written by the series' creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, who listed  Battle of Cannae and the American Civil War as their two main inspirations. The director of the episode, Miguel Sapochnik, stated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the Battle of Agincourt was the original inspiration for the battle, but the concept was changed to better fit the budgetary constraints. The writers and director do an amazing job of making this episode, one of the best episodes of the show, in every way.

Now, I cannot wait for the finale. I am sure the same goes for you too!
