The showrunners announced well before the season started that we wouldn’t be revisiting the Bran storyline or location until season 6. And since the show has Rickon and Osha headed to the Umbers (loyal Stark bannerman), I have a feeling the big Rickon reveal will come next season, as well. They’ll probably recast the…

Rickon has been seen. Davos has been sent on a mission by the Manderly’s and other Stark bannerman to rescue him so that they can use him to reclaim the North from the Bolton’s. This happened in A Dance with Dragons.
The actors who portray Theon and Ramsay have indicated that “a character” that they both have scenes with will have a pretty bad experience this season. In fact, Iwan Rheon says he didn’t want to have to do what was in the script when he read it. From all indications, Sansa is in for a bad time. She better wind up…
The actress who plays Melisandre says that her character and Jon Snow have one more big scene together this season. Sounds like she comes back.....
I’m very concerned that what happens to Fake Arya in the books will happen to Sansa on the show and it is going to be awful. I think Sansa will then light her candle in the highest tower, Brienne and Pod will attempt to rescue her (in place of Mance Rayder and his spearwives), and in the ensuing chaos, Theon will wind…
I don’t know if book spoilers are okay here, and I guess this is kind of one, so ALERT:
1) I’ve always thought Fake Aegon was a Targaryen bastard, connected to the Blackfyre pretenders, and that Varys and Illyrio are also somehow enmeshed in bringing the Blackfyre line and the main Targaryen line back together with Fake Aegon and Daenerys. I could easily see the showrunners doing away with that plotline,…
If the end of this season coincides with the end of Jon's POV chapter in ADWD, he's going to need Melisandre back at the Wall.
If set photos are correct, Tyrion will be at Dany's right hand when she attends the opening of the fighting pits (and there are pictures of Jorah fighting in said pits). So I guess it goes down much like Tyrion guessed…..Dany would see Tyrion as useful and punish Jorah for returning.
Would the Battle of Ice really be a TWOW spoiler? Jon gets the letter from Ramsey saying that *SPOILER* Stannis is dead, etc etc in ADWD. So the battle occurs during ADWD, we just don't know for sure if Ramsey is telling the truth about the outcome (maybe that will stay up in the air at the end of this season, as…
In the books, doesn't it just start with numbness in the fingers, before it starts to harden your hands…..which would indicate that the incubation period at least takes a few days.
IIRC, there is a chance you can stop its spread in children and save their sanity/life, but it can't be stopped in adult sufferers. But I don't recall the effects developing as fast as they are in Jorah.
Oh no, I actually don't want that SFU-type ending at all (though it would be a fun bit of fan service). And I also don't think Weiner would end the show that way.
When he showed up this season as Gene, I wanted to throw something at the TV. The final seasons of SOA were painful enough without that child's dead-eyed glare, and here he is, stinking up my final episodes of Mad Men.
Yeah, I wouldn't think that a WWII vet telling a story about simply killing surrendering enemy combatants to avoid sharing rations would not justify the kind of lead up that story had. The implications of cannibalism seemed pretty clear to me.
Especially since Don obtained a legal divorce from the real Don Draper's wife years after the real Don Draper died. That would lend some legitimacy to his claim, I would think.
I said years ago that if, during the finale, we got a Six Feet Under-style "what happens to everyone when they die" montage, we'd see Betty die of lung cancer. I always pegged her as the one to get it. Vindication, but a teary one.
Semantics :)
My stray observation responses: I think the death of Ser Barristan leaves a Tyrion-sized spot open for a wise, Westerosi advisor. Also, I think Melisandre knows that Jon has king's blood running through his veins and wanted to see if she could make a killer smoke baby with him, maybe one she could send to Winterfell.
