“Game of Thrones” fans enjoyed more tasty treats in episode 2 of season 6. The excitement began even before the opening credits rolled when viewers finally got a glimpse of Bran Stark (Isaac Hampstead-Wright, “Closed Circuit,” 2014), who hasn’t been seen since the end of season 4.

As Davos (Liam Cunningham, “The Numbers Station,” 2013) and the rest of Jon’s allies awaited reinforcements, viewers got the scoop on what else has been happening in the Seven Kingdoms.

While many likely felt frustrated by the lack of answers in the season 6 premiere, there was at least some payoff for loyal fans. Just when all hope seemed lost for Sansa (Sophie Turner, “The Thirteenth Tale”) and Reek (Alfie Allen, “Soulboy,” 2010), Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” 2015) arrived to show Ramsay’s men what’s what. Even better, Theon (that’s right — not Reek, Theon) saved Podrick’s (Daniel Portman, “River City”) ass during the battle. (more…)
