What an episode!!! Right from the start S6E02 looked set to be one hell of an hour, and it turned out to not only be a great episode, but one of the best in the show's 6 seasons. Honestly I am still sitting here shaking after the credits have long finished, and it 3am here in bloody England! This is the episode that we have all been waiting for. Ramsay (Iwan Rheon) reminds us how twisted and evil he is, by killing not one, but three, three (!) of his family members in the space of 5 minutes. His father Roose (Michael McElhatton) is the first to kick the bucket, in sickening style, before the vile and sickening deaths of Walda Bolton (Elizabeth Webster) and his newborn baby brother. Ramsay officially makes Joffrey look like a decent bloke. But that is why we love him. There are of course some other memorable moments including great scenes with Arya (Maisie Williams) and Theon (Alfie Allen), but near the end of the episode we saw the much anticipated debut of Euron Frickin Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek) in spectacular fashion after he throws his older brother and King of the Iron Islands Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide) over the bridge that all book readers like myself have been waiting to see. And finally. finally! After almost a year of speculation, and after all hope seemed lost, Jon Snow woke his lazy behind up! He's back! I love how HBO handled this whole storyline, I began the season feeling positive that he would return, but after last weeks episode, I must admit I lost faith. Melisandre (Carice Van Houten) tries but seemingly fails to bring Jon (Kit Harington) back at Ser Davos' (Liam Cunningham) request. But it is after everyone leaves the room where Jon's body lay, that the episodes biggest moment happens. Jon opens his eyes whilst panting, trying to get an idea of his surroundings. Then the camera cuts straight to credits. It gave me goosebumps, that half an hour later, are still here. 'Home' is a superb episode and it has set the standards for Season 6 of this incredible show even higher; a perfect 10/10 for S6E02! Performance of the week: Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton) Honourable Mention: Kit Harington (Jon Snow) We've missed you Kit!
