The secrecy around Game of Thrones season 6 has left us with more questions than we can count (literally) but here are 100 to get you started.
With its multiple locations, dozens of plot lines, and hundreds of characters — not to mention magic, espionage, and treachery — Game of Thrones has always been fertile ground for curiosities, theories, and questions. But this year, the urgency is even greater. Not only did the epic fantasy series conclude last year’s fifth season with multiple cliffhangers, but the story has now grown past the material laid out in George R.R. Martin’s novels.
