Red priests have form for resurrecting the dead. Melisandre is a red priest. Seems straightforward enough. But what does it cost? These things are never free.

Consequences - she regains her faith, and perhaps has another cause. Is Snow's oath satisfied? Is his watch ended, can he now go and interfere in the politics of the country?

as for the gift for Ramsey - what's the betting on it being Rickon?
I hope not, although I can't see any other purpose that Rickon would serve. I was guessing Theon

I think Theon is surely more likely. If Rickon hasn't been found yet and everyone thinks he's dead, why would anyone even be looking for him? It could be Fake Arya perhaps? Or Gendryhehe

"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post."

I'd say Jon can do what he likes now. Don't know about his brothers though- they look married to the wall.

I also suspect than Roose Boltons words about Ramsay being treated like a mad dog will prove prophetic. He's no leader of men like Jon Snow. I just hope the ending isn't some incestuous marriage between Jon and Sansa like the Targaryen days. vomit

I doubt it is Rickon - he still has his Direwolf and from what I remember (from the books) it was the most vicious one.

'fluffy dog' being a bad tempered bd does make me laugh - but didn't Rickon end up with the Umbers?

Thinking about it, the Umbers live close to the wall. Sansa and Theon are close to the wall. Sansa and Theon know that Rickon is alive, though not where they are.

The Umbers are allied to house Bolton, but largely because (I think) Greatjon Umber is captive to the Freys. The freys are allied to Bolton through Ramsays stepmum. Who he has now killed... So the Freys have less reason to support the Boltons now= Umber revolt when Ramsay reaches the wall?

It's gonna kick off for sure. In the clip in one of the trailers for this season - who was in the hall with Walder Frey? It looked reminiscent of the Red Wedding but with different people..

I wonder if a northern house will do a reverse of that on Walder and kill him..

Going on the series trailer Sansa, Brienne and Podrick meet up with House Tully. So perhaps the missing Blackfish is no longer missing.

Tully flag in the background.


Serious face Podrick is serious.

Good manners, some people might not want to watch the trailers or know what's coming from them.

What I can't wait for after seeing the preview is seeing the raid on the Tower of Joy where we get to see how much of a badass Ser Arthur Dayne was and potentially see the truth about R+L=J!

I'm assuming, out of politeness and respect for other posters. Spoilering gives the rest of us that don't want to speculate, or see the speculation, the choice not to - Because technically, that speculation could be a spoiler for next week's episode.

For instance, I could have a damn good guess what's about to happen with Theon, just from reading this page, as his bit of this story is still in the last published book (I don't watch the trailers)

In the books, it is the resurrected person that it is taken out of, not the resurrecter.

Good questions, he's a very moral man. But would his morals be able to overcome being stabbed by 'his people'? Already he has tried to go home to the defence of Winterfell.

Preview looks super awesome and much awaited!

How far do we think Theon will get? In the season trailer I'm sure I saw him kneeling in the snow with troops around him. I still think he's more likely to be caught by the Boltons
I think that after what has been done to him, no-one can catch him by the Boltons? biggrin
