Game Of Thrones Season 6 How Many Episodes
Okay, let's talk Game of Thrones. Specifically, Season 6. Remember that one?
It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Dragons were smaller (relatively!), Jon Snow was...well, you know. Dead-ish.
The Burning Question: How Many Episodes?
Right, the big question. How many episodes graced our screens in Season 6? The answer, for those who've forgotten or are testing my knowledge, is ten. Yep, just ten.
Must Read
But here's where my unpopular opinion comes in. Ten wasn't enough! Was it ever enough?
Ten Episodes: A Teaser, Not a Feast
Don't get me wrong. Those ten episodes were packed! Battles! Betrayals! Braids getting tighter than ever before.
But it felt rushed. Like trying to cram a whole dragon's worth of food into a direwolf's stomach. Not ideal.
Think about it. So much happened! Jon Snow came back from the dead. Sansa finally found her inner badass. Dany...well, Dany sailed across the Narrow Sea (eventually!).
My Unpopular Opinion: We Needed More!
Here's the thing. I think Season 6 needed, minimum, twelve episodes. Maybe even thirteen! Fight me.
Imagine the extra world-building we could have had. More time with the Dothraki! A deeper dive into the political machinations in King's Landing!
Seriously, King's Landing always needed more scheming. It's like their national sport.
What Could Extra Episodes Have Given Us?
More time for character development, obviously. Some characters felt like they teleported from point A to point Z with barely any explanation.
Think about the Greyjoys. Euron showed up, became instantly terrifying, and...poof! More time with him would've been fantastic.
And what about Bran's visions? They were cool, but confusing. A few extra episodes dedicated to explaining what the heck was going on in his head would've been welcome.
Ten Episodes Felt...Abbreviated
Look, I appreciate the effort. Game of Thrones was a massive undertaking. Filming locations, special effects, the sheer number of actors... It's mind-boggling.
But Season 6 felt like a condensed version of what it could have been. A really, really good condensed version. But still condensed.
Maybe I'm just greedy. Maybe I just wanted more dragons, more battles, more political intrigue. More everything!
In Defense of More Game of Thrones
Let's be honest. We all miss it. That feeling of anticipation, waiting for the next episode to drop.
The debates! The theories! The sheer heartbreak when your favorite character got offed in some ridiculously gruesome way.
So, while ten episodes were good. Ten episodes were great. They just weren't enough. Bring back Game of Thrones! And this time, give us more episodes!
Okay, rant over. Now I'm going to go re-watch Season 6. All ten glorious, yet painfully limited, episodes.
