I don't think the suggestion is that Jaime and Brienne are going to reunite this season. I think it was just a nice piece of fan service, at least for now. Of course it would work better if Brienne actually mentioned Jaime in this season instead of doing whatever it is she is doing... I'm sure we'll get a dramatic monologue with the snow falling this week about how Renly's kindness would melt winter from the coldest heart. I like Brienne, but the constant Renly love grates.  |

It's hard to say what will become of Brienne. She's going to try to fulfill both her oaths and while saving Sansa will probably be easy, avenging Renly by killing Stannis might be harder. It feels as though he has a bit more to do, like winning against the Boltons, so I don't think she'll kill him. At least not this season. But there are horrible rumors that the Boltons will win and if that's the case, is Stannis slated to die this season?
I do think it would be an interesting take on karma if Brienne takes out Stannis. He's a weird co-conspirator in the murder of his brother and is killed in a weird way by someone loyal to that brother. Martin likes for retribution to come from an unexpected corner, if it comes at all, so it wouldn't be hard to believe.
As for Jaime and Brienne, it does seem as though they have unfinished business but I agree with others who are wondering how they will meet again. I don't see Jaime in the North. Would Brienne head south again when she's done with her oaths?

Although if they are being that open about it that means their fate isn't left as cliffhanger. I hope it just means the main battle will take place next season and not that they're killing of Stannis. |

But then again if you look here underthehearttree.freeforums.net/thread/169/spoilers-speculation-based-trailers-promos?page=2 we saw very little footage in trailers this year... HOWEVER I think with Hardhome they wouldn't have the money to have 2 battles and i cannot imagine them skipping something as epic as this battle |

I'd say that will definitely feature some of the hidden ways into the castle. However, in the show I don't think they'll pass up showing a battle at Winterfell. I think we're just going to get the opening blows: Ramsey setting the camp/tents on fire, Stannis' and company arriving close to Winterfell, and setting up for the bigger conflict (whether skirmish or full scale battle) next season. Of course a wild Brienne could appear and stab someone she shouldn't.  |

Sansa's escape? Ramsay killed in his sleep? That's not climax material. Something really big has to happen there with so many storylines colliding. It will be incredibly disappointing if the Stannis, Brienne, Bolton, Sansa and possibly Yara storylines collide and nothing big happens. |

We know something big and shocking happens given the way Liam Cunningham spoke about a dramatic conclusion/dramatic head being the consequences of something Mel does. We just don't know what all will happen. It's obvious we're going to have at minimum a skirmish. |

The battle of Winterfell could be great as well if we ever get to see it "on page" (and I was really disappointed GRRM postponed it to the next book). Many storylines in ADWD ended up inconclusive, with their climax postponed to TWOW, which was a huge mistake IMHO. I hope D&D won't make the same mistake and delay the conclusion of this season's storylines. |

Yunkai and Astapor appear to have been completely neutered and the only real antagonists are the Sons of the Harpy and they'll probably shit themselves when Dany flies. |

From the TWOW chapters it seems the battle will be huge. I only addressed the books in my post  Daznak will be Dany's climax this season, it is known. |
