Season 6 will answer the question: Is Jon Snow really dead? And will Tyrion become one of three dragon knights. Plenty of epic battles are waiting for you in this season.
By focusing on a very small battlefield, ultimately, the series is able to give us an episode that captures the chaos of war as well as television ever has.
