Doesn't seem like Brienne is going to encounter LSH. Fml

BTW folks, after viewing ep. 505 we all now know what "Brienne waits for a sign" means; the light (either candle or torch) that Sansa will put up in the Broken Tower.

Maybe Sansa lights the candle in this episode, Pod infiltrates and they meet in episode 8? Pod = Old friend.
Although I would have expected a call for help to be answered a little more... urgently?

That makes sense. She "tries to talk to Theon" and whatever his response is, she lights the candle up there and Bri sends Pod in (because Bolton would recognize her) and then the escape plan's afoot. |

I do wonder how Theon ties in with the escape plan. Maybe she flees with Pod in episode 9 and just leaves him behind, meeting up with Stannis in episode 10? |

I think it'll be like in ADWD where Reek is necessary because people in the castle know he's Ramsay's "servant" and that it could well be his business to escort his master's wife throughout the grounds, whereas people would question Pod doing so. |

I hope they don't skip Arya 2 episodes in a row again.

I hope they don't skip Arya 2 episodes in a row again. I think she'll be in every episode from now on actually. We know she's in 506, 508 and 509, but I'm pretty sure she's in 507 too (given it's title) and at least briefly in 510. |

What in particular do we all think "Stannis remains stubborn" is referring to btw? Most of the lines from these summaries are incomplete sentences really that are only completed by injecting a plot point into them, like for 508 we have "Jon travels" which is completed by "to Hardhome" or "Cersei struggles" which is likely completed by "as the Faith's Prisoner." Or for this ep. in particular "Brienne waits for a sign" that is completed by "from the Broken Tower."
So in the same vein, what exactly is Stannis being stubborn about? It's likely some plot point or another and likely has to do with his scene in the tent with Mel and Dave from the second trailer where they're looking over the maps and he says, "This is the time and I will risk everything." My only guess as of now is that maybe Davos is once again suggesting that he wait until Jon returns from Hardhome with Tormund's willdings as potential reinforcements for Stannis (as he did in ep. 505).
So what do you all think? "Stannis remains stubborn ______________" About what?

The risk everything line makes me think that maybe the army is growing weaker (the gaunt make up thing) and Davos urges Stannis to turn away before they all die |

If the Karstarks were to join them for example, who in the show have a HUGE army, that would shift the odds in their favour for sure, which would likely pressure Dave to voice his doubts about continuing the march southward. |

No, I think it's just the weather. With Stannis host coming I cannot imagine the show just dropping the info that Northern Lords backed Boltons. It's not as intricate and slowly being built up as in the books - instead of the conspiracies they seem to be giving the Northern Lords' job to small folk. Also it would seem insane to have Northern Lords join these killers when they must be aware Sansa is being forced into this marriage. I think they are gonna be absent from the show and Stannis' stubbornness refers to marching no matter what, even if they may die before reaching their target. But it's likely they hear about the wedding and Davos may suggest that Bolton's position improved now that they have a Stark |

^I think there'll be other Northern lords actually. They'd just have to be featured extras really but that's the whole point of having the wedding as Roose articulated in 503; to use a Stark to make the Bolton's rule seem legitimate and get the other noble families on side. It's a piece of theatre that needs non-Bolton witnesses. I think we'll see at least some of them in ep. 506 in the Godswood and probably in later eps. too.

Well maybe, I really don't know with the show anymore - they have so much obvious foreshadowing and the next minute they have dead end hints. They went rogue  |

Stannis is being stubborn about the weather. Davos will question the march and Mannis will respond "This is the time and I will risk everything."

The TV guide summary for this episode (which is always basically the same with a few words different here and there) says: "Stannis' stubborn streak prevails" so he's obviously facing opposition within his ranks to whatever he wants to do but it looks like he does it anyways.

Cannibalism? Death march? Men not wanting to march to Winterfell in a snow storm?
