Or maybe Mance face-magicked himself with somebody else and that was him. I'm saying there's a 90% chance it's nothing, a 9% chance it's Benjen, a 0.9% chance it's the real Mance and he face-magicked himself with somebody else, and a 0.1% chance it's Lady Stoneheart.

Maybe, but the person was just chilling there when they ran up to the boat. Super weird.

There were like 500 extras. Why cover that guy's face?

He sells life insurance (or maybe boat/ship insurance) and doesn't pay out when the people die (or ships sink).

Seriously though - who was the person sitting under the blanket at the back of the boat Jon got on? He/she was sitting there doing nothing when they got on and didn't seem all that interested in the Night's King raising his army of the undead right on the shore. Or was that just a pile of supplies or something that…

"I'm so angry with the way they're mutilating my precious…" (checks account balance) "Never mind. I'm good."

It would just be weird for her to show up anywhere but the Riverlands, even in the show universe. Seems like there would need to be a ton of explaining / re-explaining. I think it would be super confusing to non-book readers and also would feel very un-earned.

The hunt for Bran and Rickon! That could keep her going for like 6 seasons at least. Maybe she'll even bring Sansa along.

Oh - you're gonna get it.

First off - great handle.

The Old Bear said it early on, "When the dead walk, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne?" Total misquote, but something along those lines.

I think the undead zombies/skeletons are "wights"

Why do they need to be wargs? I don't think that's established anywhere in the books.

I think she's gonna have to kill off the heads of a few Southron houses to unify them. Then she heads north.

Ha. Bran sees it through a weirwood. Jon finds Bran

I can't decide if it's obvious that he's going to kill Jon because I know Jon gets killed or because the show is making it that obvious. If it's the latter, I hope they're setting us up so he actually saves or tries to save Jon. It's just stupid, lazy Chekov's-gunning if they don't have him do something else. Maybe he…

Brienne, Sansa and Pod go on a quest for Rickon. Book it. Or maybe just Brienne and Pod. I don't know. Maybe don't book it.

Yeah, I noticed that shrouded figure who couldn't be bothered to turn around as the dead rose up. I feel like that has to be something, but LSH is a stretch because how would they explain her getting north of the wall. Benjen (or undead Benjen), maybe?

It's not that I dislike this rape more than the rape of Jeyne. They are both very low on my rape rankings.

You can't be two things if one of those things is gay.
