Beric Dondarrion has already been shown once. Ned sent him after the Mountain in season 1. They certainly could recast, but I thought I'd point it out.

I think the season will end with Jon killing Halfhand to join the wildlings. I imagine we won't see much (or any) of him next week during Blackwater.
