1) ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Season 6's Northern plot is essentially a repeat of Season 5's, a RagtagBunchOfMisfits marches to topple the Boltons from Winterfell and meet them in battle despite being heavily outnumbered. The denouements of both sequences rely on respectively DiabolusExMachina[=/=]DeusExMachina.

I re-added this trope with the following comment: \'\'To quote from the Trope Page: \"Fans have a tendency to want to be surprised. They don\'t just want another rehash of the same things that they had last year, they want something new and different, yet the same basic characters/story/gameplay/etc.\"....Trope page also has many examples from TV shows with recycled plotlines from earlier seasons (Cf, entries for Heroes, American Horror Story, House...page entry doesn\'t prohibit anything about repeating plotlines...)

2) I also added the following entry for StrawmanHasAPoint: reposting from the YMMV page for the Recap page of YMMV/GameOfThronesS6E9BattleOfTheBastards:
** In Season 6, when Dany returns to Slaver\'s Bay after Tyrion\'s schemes backfired, she proposes an immediate and swift retaliation and counter-attack which Tyrion responds by comparing her to the Mad King, a.k.a. Westeros\' GodwinsLaw, and then via {{Retcon}}, citing Aerys II\'s Wildfire Plot. The problem is that the Mad King was planning to use Wildfire on his own subjects in a TakingYouWithMe suicide plan. For it to work, Dany has to unleash Dragons on her own subjects and people inside Meereen when she wants to unleash it on his enemies. Likewise, revenge and retaliation on enemies who wrong you or break oaths is more or less glorified in the stories of Sansa and Arya, which likewise makes the entire moment feel like a BrokenAesop.
