Re-watching game of thrones from the beginning 

After the Season 6 finale of "Game of Thrones" I felt the overwhelming compulsion to go back to the beginning and start watching it all over again. I love the show, and have retained quite a lot, but I don't take notes in general and sometimes get distracted and I know I lost a lot over the last several years. So with that in mind, starting with Season 1, Episode 1 I watched with utter dread as each moment drew me closer to things I knew are terrible. 

Interesting, I had completely forgotten it was Jon that gave Arya Needle. All I cared about in Season 6 was that she get Needle back and kill the Waif. 

And of course all the scheming and framing of Tyrion started early. 

I'm only on Episode 3, but I'm impressed at how far the story has progressed in six seasons. I hope to come back and share my impressions during the re-watching in preparation for next season.
