I could see King's Landing and Winterfell being absent from this episode. I really hope so. Anything to give the Iron Islands the majority of the screentime  Yeah they really need to build up Euron more, which I'm sure they will, but it will be interesting to see what he does in the show after the Kingsmoot. Edit: Dat Ironfleet!   |

I don't think Sansa will forgive him, but she will realize that she needs him for now and use him. They need more men after all. It's a matter of priorities. Also, I have a feeling this particular storyline will make more sense after 609 and 610.

But then, I don't think Sam was in the Oathbreaker promo either, so I guess we won't know until we get the production stills. |

Ramsay needs to be absent for several eps. The character and constant overexposure of him cannot end soon enough and he has been taking screentime from far more interesting characters for years now.

I've not been terribly vocal of late in my defense of all of that out of a want to not have to continually reiterate things. But since his scene in 506 I have an idea at the gist of what he's up to anyways and it made enough sense to me.  But it's not a protracted debate I'm keen on engaging in again and again really. In part because I don't really feel the need to justify liking the s5 WF storyline because I'm fine being in the minority here and in part because defending LF in the show sounds too much like defending Mr. Gillen's performance which is the last fucking thing I'd do.  |

If Brienne kills Littlefinger right in the spot I'll forgive her (But vice versa is the same) |

I'll be the first to say it's shit when it is. But I just suggest to wait and see, shall we? I'm just pointing out that it would make approximately 0 sense if Sansa ordered Brienne to kill LF as things are now. And I'm saying this as someone who can't stand LF or Gillen's performance. |

So Littlefinger comes to Castle Black? Or is that somewhere else?

These look like the same stones Bran sees frozen when he sees the NK. Hmm. Not really spoilers per se but involves heavy speculation involving things some people might not want to know about: 'Bran learns a great deal'. That's got to be another cheeky one hasn't it? The Children being at the same place later frozen over in ice suggests to me something about the Children's deal with the First Men. It's clearly not the Isle of Faces but I feel like Bran's going to learn something very important in defeating the White Walkers. Then he'll see how this sacred place will freeze over when they come and he'll have his across-time touch-off with the NK |

Knowing that Sansa continues on with the Northern recruiting without LF , I think we can safely assume that she takes the scene in this episode to suitably call LF on his shit and dismiss him as a BFF, she's got her own thing going on now. At the same time, he can still help her during her Winterfell attack with the KotV, so there would be no point in dumping him at this point seeing as he serves a need strategically and she knows it. She is most likely is going to tell him to fuck off and bring the KotV into the battle when she calls on him. It's probably going to be a lot of her reversing the power dynamic that they have had until now. There's plenty of time for him to get killed later. Sansa's smarter than that. |

Littlefinger deftly manipulated Sweetrobin to get him to rally the Knights of the Vale, so that's going to come into play for Sansa ... just a guess here, speculation only (some spoilery stuff might need tagged in this thread btw).
If Sweetrobin gets to go along, I could foresee Sansa using his enthusiasm for wanting to help his cousin as a way to take control of the situation. I doubt she'll tell Royce the lie about how she got to Winterfell outright but I see that as an eventual slip that could cost Littlefinger his life.

I think Sansa just takes LF help right now. She needs it.
At the end of the season, Sansa will betray him.

I'm really hyped for the meeting between Bran and the Night's King.
And seriously, what the fuck is LF doing at Castle Black?
