Season 6 General Speculation v10

i wonder if kit will attend the premiere in a couple of weeks.

if i was him i wouldn't, but he'll probably attend because he's gonna be ~playing a corpse~

Which is why the topic of Jon Snow keeps coming up... his play. Right.  

Shes already married, but if they are planning to kill Ramsey then the heir sansa produces would be lord of winterfell.
They may try not to marry her, just hold her there.

I think that's likely too. If Brienne leaves her with untrustworthy bannermen and Sansa trusts them anyway, that would be kinda beating a dead horse as far as Brienne fucking up the rescue mission and Sansa trusting the wrong people.

I really think that's going to be it. From what we know already: Smalljon has a 'hatred that runs deep', clearly a very specific source of hatred that's historical. Since he's an Umber, would make sense for this to be the wildlings. We know that Jon will be resurrected and likely overrun the Night's Watch, with the wildlings becoming the prominent force in the far North, settling in the Gift, taking part in the battle. We've even seen sets outside Castle Black that appear to be wildling settlements. So it's possible they will delve into the formation of these new communities this season, which could cause conflict with The Last Hearth. Finally, from pretty much every spoiler we've heard so far, contentious or not, the Umbers fight for the Boltons and there's been little sign of the possibility of turning coat. 

Yet even if they do end up turning coat, I'm pretty sure the reasoning for them siding with the Boltons will be that.

Hi,

Just joined here and this thread is a bit too long to go through everything right now. So jumping in with some stuff that was no doubt already discussed hoping to be able to add something new somewhere:

1. Pretty sure Mel must survive at least long enough for her vision of walking the ramparts of Winterfell to come true. That could still of course mean that she will die at the end of season after Winterfell is won, but not until IMO.

2. Jon is most likely going to be reborn somehow, but it is still interesting to consider what could happen on the off chance Kit has been telling the truth this whole time, and it is not just that Jon SNOW is dead, but that Kit really is done with the show. I know, unlikely but....
If Jon in all forms stays dead and gone, it must mean that the impact of his death on other characters is what matters to the story going forward. I would assume it would mean that Dany too would eventually die, as would all obvious in any way claimants to the throne (by virtue of drops of Targ/Baratheon blood). Which would leave Westeros absolutely leaderless. That could actually be kind of interesting: to see how those left cope without any hero to back.

3. I am one of the crazies who thinks we might get Stoneheart in season 6. Everything else surrounding her story is happening in season 6: siege of Riverrun, Brienne and probably Jaime in the Riverlands, outlaw characters cast, Blackfish return....and her resurrection would tie in to Jon's, as well as the reappearace of other dead and presumed dead characters such as the Cleganes, Shae (Shae!?!?) etc.

4. It seems the real Citadel action will be season 7. I think Sam lands very briefly in Oldtown before heading to Horn Hill to drop off Gilly. This would explain the complete lack of any important Oldtown characters in the casting calls.

I don't think he will.  He will be doing the play.

And welcome @hippocras!

Jon's corpse looks too upright here...



Welcome @hippocras

aye, I know.

But, you know, on the off chance that was a show trolling spies moment.....and maybe Shae on set was too.
