A few of the houses fought then, but even those that refused to particpate brought their troops for all the King of the North hurrahs.

Actually that seems pretty possible. Stop them at Eastwatch, then something brings down the wall.

I think we will see him next week. The ocean will freeze at Eastwatch by the sea, and he will cross. And probably Tormund and most if not all of his people will die. I would not be surprised if Winterfell is under siege when the season ends.

I just assumed they were because they showed the original scene in the previously on segment.

I care. That's why I recommend you don't insert anything in any of these three holes *gesturing at barn wall*

Just because that's the public perception they cultivate, doesn't mean that there can't be secret associations or motivations we're not yet aware of.
