I reckon it may be a sad end for Brienne...but I hope not.

I reckon they are setting up Ollie brilliantly. I can see Thorne being honourable and/or also not being able to stop his inner tt...so it'll be a genuine unknown. You can see Ollie rankle when the term 'free-folk' is used instead of 'wildlings'. I reckon he'll snap after Jon does something to help them and then stab him crying.

I think episode 7 is called 'The Gift' so no doubt thats when Jon will allow them through and start his events. Its been a while and cba to google but thought Jon was stabbed by numerous attackers after deciding to go all renegade and go and help 'Ayra'. Which wont happen now as youd imagine word would reach the north of sansa's well being

I haven't read them for a few years, but yeah, after some ruminating, Jon declares he'll go smash the Boltons with the help of the free-folk, which then obviously violates the 'non-intervention' rules of the NW. Which is the last straw that tips over the more straight-lacers.
Martin is very careful with words...at least two people stab him (I think) and the impression is that the third does, but it could be taken another way...I think...I'd have to read it again. biggrin

Thinking a bit more about the way Daenerys is being portrayed, I wonder if they are trying to hint at the whole 'am I mad' thing that she goes through in book 5. Refusing the advice about executing the ex-slave last week and the result of that this week, and Baristan counselling about how Rhaegar wasn't the mad/horrible character we have been led to believe in. She spends a lot of book 5 convinced she is going the way of mad Aerys, I wonder if the TV events of the last 2 episodes will be used as a trigger for that ?

I hope not, that whole sub plot bored me to tears. Even Brienne was more interesting

Yeah, Brienne will try and 'help' Sansa I predict, but the Stannis thing is her prime directive. Somebody is not gonna walk out of that room. They are both fairly inflexible.

People on Westeros.org are saying Bronn will die, but I hope not. He is the one character that has bloomed out of nothing into something totally cool in the show. I'd like him to be around till the end.
Im guessing these people had watched the 4 episodes laugh so Bronn to die and Jamie to escape back or will they link up with the Sand Vipers?

Next weeks episode is Kill the Boy or something like that so i reckon that will be Aemon and Sam off on their travels and maybe not to be heard of again?

I reckon Aemon will die at Castle Black. And will instruct Sam to go and be a Maester.

Apparently there are gonna be four deaths of people who have not died in the books, we've had three, and people think the next will be Bronn....hope not, it could be Brienne.

Did she? I thought the book ended with her having a noose around her neck. Shame Lady Stoneheart isn't in the show frown

My guess is loras at the hands of the religious army. As his arc is not really doing much.
