Yes, but for that to happen surely they need to have given the viewer at least a hint that Jon has warging abilities and I don't recall them showing this in the TV show.
They touched on it when Jon went ranging with half hand and told them what he saw as a dream through ghosts eyes. Lo and behold, what he saw was correct

Any guesses on what they are going to do on the show with Gilly and the baby?
In the book they swap Gilly's baby (I can't remember whose but it's a royal one) in order to save it. Are they going to take dragon scale child away instead?

The red woman has gone with Stannis.

Has anyone seen the trailer for episode 10 yet?
I will spoiler tag this as it is speculation based on a scene from the trailer:
Really? Against whom? I'll see the trailer in Thronecast.
The scene with Stansa made me think that maybe she is going to take Caitlins place as the grey lady.

More spoiler space...
The way she is dressed, and her lines - something like "If I'm going to die, I would rather die while there is still some of me left". It would fit in very well with her taking the grey lady role, especially as Melisandre is just outside the walls and would be available for revival duties.

Apparently the whole Shireen burning was down to GRRM telling D&D to do it, so I don't think she's got much longer in TWOW.
I do wonder if we're getting a release date for the book at the end of episode 10 (an imminent release date!)

On Thronecast, Perkins said that, Martin had the burning of Shireen in mind as a trajectory for, Stannis. Makes me smirk at all them absolutely fI do wonder if we're getting a release date for the book at the end of episode 10 (an imminent release date!)
king mentalists on FB and other places saying that the 'real' Stannis (book Stannis) wouldn't do that.The one thing that irritates me above most other stuff is the f
kwittery of the 'fans'.

His publisher said they don't have the launch planned in 2015. They aren't the same thing. I think it's unlikely but pedantry matters. Shirreeen could already be dead in the books? Or did she stay at Castle Black? I can't remember? People saying the book can't spoiler the show anymore are wrong
The book can still spoil a few things, but it's shrinking. Casting calls plus book knowledge can spill a bit. I know a few things that we'll see next week due to the casting calls from last year.
I guess there is still a bit of Danni's story. But the show will overtake Winterfell next week.

I disagree, it's entirely show appropriate. We've had multiple shots/scenes of Qyburn's work on Mountain and much discussion as to 'work continuing', 'he will be changed', etc.
It's amsuing that it was Mountain that left Qyburn for dead, I had forgotten that.

In the book as I recall, somebody called Rob Strong appears out of the blue. And readers have joined some dots. It's quite opaque compared to the more explicit foreshadowing of the show.
