I think people (including myself) just don't want to see Rickon die, because he's directly related to Ned, Cat, Robb, Sansa, Arya and Bran. Rickon may not have been around much, but he's Cat's little boy and Sansa's little brother. That's how I see it. No more dead Starks. I mean, I get this, but I just have a different perspective I have no attachment to him at all, because he's completely irrelevant (or at least, has been) and I can't become attached to a character/care about their fate if they're so... pointless. I've said before (I guess somewhat controversially?) that I want Rickon to die, and his irrelevance is exactly why. I don't like the idea of Winterfell being inherited by a character who George and D&D have all but ignored.

Rickon is a precious angel baby. Keep him safe lol.
I think Rickon will be injured, but survive.

He's just simply too young in the books to have a POV and it would just be unnecessary. Bran kept watch of him in his POVs up until ACOK, so he was only away for one whole book, until ADWD. And in the show he's only been away for two seasons, and was mentioned last season by Theon and Sansa. GRRM has not ignored him by having Davos go on a mission to bring him back, and D&D have just done what is right and left his story aside until it is relevant, because he is not a main character. He's a kid, of course he shouldn't be murdered, certainly not because another character 'should' rule winterfell, that isn't right.

I'm with Fire & Blood, Rickon's death wouldn't bother me much. I'm just not invested in him.

I mean obviously I'll take no joy in seeing a kid get killed, especially a Stark, but I won't be too upset if it happens. I did really like his scene with Bran when he told him he had to protect him though. I'm just ready for both GRRM/GoT to start killing off the non-endgame characters. There's just too many.

For all I don't care for Rickon, he was in 3 of the scenes that always get to me, that one, Ser Rodrik's death, and Luwin's death.

First page from the EW spread. That first clause is interesting.

Odd they chose a photo of Arya/Blind Beth on a page describing the upcoming great battle of Winterfell, isn't it?

Sort of. I was just thinking how it pertains to that guys spoilers, although he went into a lot of detail about how this "wall of bodies" would be incorporated into the battle. I suppose this just goes along the lines of what we know, that he knows some things and inferred/made up a lot of others.

I think they just don't want to give anything away about the battle, so they've used a promotional photo unrelated to it. Plus, I don't think any Snowbowl-related images have been released.

Well the trailer gave away plenty about the battle ... they couldn't use any of the promo material from that? Maybe like you said, no 'official' release photos have been provided for them yet. Regardless, it's a new photo of Arya looking fierce and ready to smack the crap out of the Waif!

Yeah I guess I can understand not wanting to go into details, but after that very descriptive intro, it seems kinda wasted and disjointed without a photo to go along with it ... but I'm just a part time content writer, what do I know?

Took me a bit to find the leaked/rumored trailer commercial (??) info I've seen blurry pics of flying around:
Has this been discussed elsewhere already? Apologies as I try to catch up on how much y'all have already seen.
