Osha is something we haven't really considered...would she trust the Umbers? I mean i probably wouldn't and shes not stupid. What i'm saying is, how could the Boltons get a hold of Rickon in the first place. Rickon's got shaggydog, a wild direwolf who trusts no one. i'm sure he would protect him.

An account from another extra: Xymbl March 23, 2016 at 12:06 pm I’ve been a lurker here, for a very long time, but this issue has lured me out of the shadows. I actually was an extra on the battle scene for Season VI (and I won’t tell you any more about it than that!) Some of the things in the Reddit post are true, but several are definitely not, so I think you would all be wise to just ignore it.
Although he was able to post a picture of a jacket, that doesn’t mean that it’s his. Plenty of people in NI have them now, & there are photos of them floating about on the ‘net. I didn’t see the photo, but it sounds like a Stark jacket, which has a direwolf sigil on the back. The jackets are very cool (I have one!), but HBO only permit them to be made for groups of extras who have worked on very long shoots. The Night’s Watch have been getting them for years, &, last year, the Wildlings who took part in the Hardhome shoot were also allowed to get them. For Season VI, several groups have been given permission. The battle scene is long, & complex. I don’t think that any extra was present for all of it, as it was shot in lots of sections. We were shown a pre-vis video (cartoon) of the whole story, on the first day, but even that, didn’t have all the details. Real extras are a band of brothers. For a scene like this, with so many people involved, the days are very long & hard, so we become very committed & loyal to each other & the production. We also know how important secrecy is, & that HBO will pursue anyone who even thinks of breaking the NDA. If this idiot was a real extra, the other extras would hunt him down! This is great news

I'm still carrying the banner: no more Stark/direwolf deaths 2k16.

One wonders about the Osha - Rickon story S6 .... since in the books they have been off-page for a long long time now. Osha is the one and only (I think) case of George saying that a member of the cast will influence his writing of the character. Natalia is an exotic , have missed her character for the last two years.

So she can survive and become a representative for the wildlings. If she gave Rickon up, it's because she was probably tricked by the Umbers. And she will be enraged when she finds out what really happened.

Book wise there is Val as a female Wildling character , I guess she stays as an up front Wildling voice, on the show there was the possibility of adding a female wildling but that got canned! Such a good actress would have been appreciated! Osha is in a odd spot she is a Wildling 'deserter' , tho , with the Wildlings that must be a technicality , question is would she join up? If Osha sticks around I could see her become a 'proxy' Stark , she has been as loyal to the family as Hodor.

Why would the wildlings give a damn about Osha?

I think "Free Folk" is the term they prefer, right? It's more expressive of their culture, which is that they do whatever they damn well please whenever they feel like it. So Osha taking off from whatever original group she was with (the other ones were killed) doesn't really mean abandonment in the same sense as southrons and their uptight rules see it, right?

I gotta admit though, if Rickon's only role in the story is to die during the Snowbowl, that's pretty sadistic of GRRM Ned, Robb, Cat and Jon were legitimate characters and the impact of their deaths was earned, but this is different. Even Shireen got lots of screentime compared to Rickon.

As Liam Cunningham said a couple of days ago, the final scene for the series will probably be the Night's King sitting on the Iron Throne smoking an habano.

I totally get why people don't want that to be the case and why they'd hate it etc, but what I don't get is why people are continually shocked/confused whenever someone suggests that Rickon might just amount to nothing. The Shaggydog theory is nothing new.

Seriously, just because all he's done is exist so far doesn't mean his existence will prove to be important. So long as literally any other Stark makes it back to Winterfell, the barely known feral child is extraneous.

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.

Yeah, but I just want him to live to become a vicious cannibalistic psychopath.
