This week in “May of Thrones,” we’re discussing seasons 5 and 6 of “Game Of Thrones.” At one point, one of us notes that everything went downhill after season 4. Oh, no, because two of us love these seasons.

What’s your take?

Season 5 Highlights:

- Arya's training with the Faceless Men in Braavos

- Cersei's creation of and downfall orchestrated by the High Sparrow and Faith Militant

- Hardhome battle and introduction of the Night King (as well as the electrifying Kari, played by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen)

Season 6 Highlights:

- Jon Snow's resurrection (whaaat?! and whyyyy?!)

- The emotional reunion of Sansa and Jon at Winterfell

- No one deciding to be Arya Stark of Winterfell

- Cersei's wildfire explosion at the Sept of Baelor

- Bran's visions reveal Jon's true parentage

- Hodor's tragic origin story: "Hold the door"

Other Discussion Points:

- Favorite moments and characters like Lyanna Mormont

- Cersei and Daenerys' obsession with "bending the knee"

- Maisie Williams' performance as Arya and her new show “The New Look”
