Home (Game of Thrones) Home (Game of Thrones) "Home" is the second episode of the sixth season of HBO's fantasy television series "Game of Thrones", and the 52nd overall. The episode was written by Dave Hill and directed by Jeremy Podeswa. The Wildlings arrive at Castle Black and force Alliser Thorne and his allies to surrender, allowing Melisandre to resurrect Jon Snow. Ramsay Bolton seizes Winterfell and the North for himself; Tyrion Lannister unchains the dragons being held in the catacombs of Meereen; Arya Stark proceeds to the next step in her training; and Bran Stark sees the past. "Home" received high praise from
The Door (Game of Thrones) costumes, with variations we used to make a digital army that extends up onto the hills." Bauer also noted that VFX were used to create the weather conditions in the scene, noting "It's wind, mist, fog and heavy atmosphere that you'd get in a marine layer. The dramatic value is to say something's wrong; it's a mystery what they are facing. The temperature drops, and our characters can see their breath. The weather obscures their vision." Spain-based El Ranchito, one of several special effects companies used by "Game of Thrones", was responsible for the White Walker army shots. Pilou Asbæk,
