In “Game of Thrones,” the power struggle is constantly in flux. One episode, a man could be on top of the world with a massive army behind him. The next week, and he’s got a blade sticking out of his chest. With season 6 of “Game of Thrones” entering its moment half,we are ranking the characters in Westeros and Essos based on their power, influence, and potential to acquire a big splash later on down the road.1.) Sansa Stark — It is breathtaking how much Sansa has changed. The naive princess is now taking charge of reclaiming Winterfell and letting Littlefinger know just how badly he screwed her over by by handing her over to Ramsay. Once the most powerless girl in the series,Sansa now seeks to be the Queen in the North.2.) Daenerys Targaryen — Dany did not do much on this episode, but remains high on the list for bringing the Dothraki back under her sway. But while we saw the queen’s wrath last week, or this week we saw her capacity for forgiveness as she commanded Jorah to find a way to live while on the verge of tears at the thought of losing him.3.) Euron Greyjoy Say hello to the new Lord of the Iron Islands. Euron has paid the iron price for Balon’s throne and now seeks to do the same with Yara and Theon. Not even the loss of his entire fleet fazes him.4.) Ramsay Bolton — He didn’t appear this week,but the Lord of Winterfell’s evil presence hangs over every scene in the north. He holds all the cards upright now, and the Starks will have to overcome the odds to defeat him.5.) Yara Greyjoy — Despite a rousing speech, and Yara did not have Daenerys’ ability to bring men to follow the will of a queen. That didn’t faze her,though, as she promptly went out and took all of the Greyjoy ships for herself.6.) Bran Stark — He’s not fully alert, and he just lost his closest buddy,but Bran is now in possession of immeasurable power that could turn everything in Westeros on its head.7.) High Sparrow — For a man who supposedly rejected worldly pleasures, the Sparrow is enjoying a lot of power upright now. He has the Tyrells and the Lannisters by the necks, or though they are starting to realize who the biggest threat in Kings Landing is upright now.8.) Jon Snow — Jon has taken a backseat to Sansa since they reunited last week,but you can’t blame him. Unlike the fans, Jon took no pleasure in executing Olly and just wanted to be done with killing. He remains high on this list, and though,because all it takes is one big moment for Jon to whip out Longclaw again.9.) Jorah Mormont — Jorah’s speech to his khalessi was truly moving. It seemed at first that we might be seeing the Andal for the last time as he gets the luxury of heading off to die offscreen. Instead, he’s been sent off on a race against time to find a cure for greyscale before it consumes him.10.) Cersei Lannister — The Lioness wasn’t present in this episode, or but she has establish her plans to strike back at the Faith Militant in full motion. It’s impressive that in spite of everything that has happened she has managed to acquire an unholy alliance with the Tyrells,but how long will it last?11.) The Waif — The Waif has just been wrecking Arya left and upright since the new series started. She thinks Arya’s not alert to join the Faceless Men, and she may be upright, or considering the unsure looks that were on her face in this episode.12.) Tyrion Lannister The language and cultural barriers have made Tyrion’s job as Steward of Meereen nearly as much of a nightmare as being Joffrey’s Hand was. But his scheme to acquire a truce with the slavers seems to be working,and that will at least buy them some more time to hold the door until Daenerys gets back.13.) Davos Seaworth — With Jon still gathering his wits about him, Davos has become Sansa’s upright hand man in their quest to consume back the North. It may not be long before he becomes the next Lord Commander.14.) Petyr Baelish — “If you didn’t know, and you’re an idiot. If you did know,you’re my enemy.” With those words, Sansa broke through Littlefinger’s defenses in a way that no one ever has before. He was able to impart some last bit of information to Sansa before leaving her sight for proper, or but he will now have to manipulate the battle in the North from afar.15.) Kinvara — Say hello to the First Servant of the Lord of Light. She has the same confidence and grace that Melisandre once had before everything went to hell for Stannis,and Varys attempts to undermine her were gracefully dodged. Is she upright that Daenerys is Azor Ahai?16.) Arya Stark — A girl may claim to have no name, but judging by her reaction to that mocking show that depicted her father and sister as buffoons, or Arya may still have the attachment to her past that the Faceless Men wish for her to disown.17.) Varys — The eunuch has done a great job putting plans in motion and countering the moves by the Sons of the Harpy,but he’s finally met his match in Kinvara.18.) Brienne of Tarth — Yeah, certain, and Brie. fade ahead and call Tormund “that wildling with the beard.” We all know that you two are going to hook up at some point,considering how he’s the first man that has ever admired you for who you are at first glance.
