The first thing that flashed for me when Ramsay suggested the Seal team 6 attack was that would provide Sansa a path to escape. Would really have liked a scene where Reek/Theon was in the Godswood so Bran could whisper his name, but i expect Theon will aid Sansa, and they will end up giving Brienne something to do. Thus, I do not think the pink letter is out of play. I'm also very weirded out by the thought of a Brienne - Stannis get together.
The preview showed Stannis camp in flames (i think), so Ramsay will do some damage. Maybe Ramsay kills/captures Shireen, which will ramp things up.
Littlefinger's gift to Oleanna was a means to free Loras and Margarey. I'm guessing Olyvar will confess to HS that Cersei paid him to lie/testify against them. He will seek forgiveness (and be rewarded), and they will be freed. Or, Olyvar will be made to disappear and not be available to testify formally.
Arya will probably see Trant in pursuing her oyster eating insurance man. The question is, will she use the poison on Trant or carry out the insurance man hit? I think the Rafford/Trant murder will not be missed by the FM which will lead to an Arya transition.
Btw, Mace will get shot down my IB. And, given how quickly news seems to get around, what are the chances Mace has not heard of Loras and Margery's charges/detainment? Neither GRRM, nor showrunners, pass an opportunity to show Mace as dumber than a bag of hammers.
Olly is going to be one of the brothers saying "for the Watch". It would be a big showrunner curveball, if not. I think Jon will see him strike. I expect this to happen in the last ep. I'm very curious to see whether the NW is motivated by Jon's acceptance and working with Wildings, or because Jon wants to go to Winterfell (pink letter). And, here again for me is disappointment in the show losing track of the kid's direwolves and ability to warg. So, somehow, Melissandre is going to have to get back to the wall -- right? Maybe after Ramsay's hit. Btw, what if it was proximity to Jon that increased Mel's powers, not just the wall itself?
Cersei will do her walk this season. This is tracking pretty close to book, i think. Robert Strong may come next season.
Yes to the Dany scenes. There is a lot of plot tied up in Tyron's education/counsel to Dany. Its got my attention. The fighting pit will be a mass Harpy ambush, Dany will be protected by Jorah/Tyrion/Drogon, and will fly. Jorah and Tyrion will be left to sort it out - perhaps be captured - setting up a Dany rescue next season.
I just don't see Lady Stoneheart this season, nor any other. The Ghost of High Heart's prophecies were the only ones that got my attention.
But, you haven't mentioned Dorne. At some point, something meaningful has to break there. Who is Doran threatening in that preview?? My first impression was he is revealing his plans and getting buy-in from Ellaria. She takes on Arianne's role. but, what of Jamie and Bronn?? Neither fit a short term character arc like Darkstar and Oakheart? This storyline has been messed up to a fare-the-well. I would not be surprised if Trystane is revealed to be Aegon. Lot of moms question marks in this series, you know?

agreed on the theon/ramsay/sansa arc. none of them will die, unless they kill theon, in a sacrifice himself to save sansa kinda way. the sealteam6 plan will fail. Brienne hates stannis. if brienne gets wild with stannis over the renly shit, brienne will die.
i love your baelish, cersei, olenna, olyvar theory. makes tons more sense than lancel, as i imagine the high sparrow already knew about lancel and cersei, hence the warning in ep 1.
Arya will kill trant, and be blinded as punishment (i hope), and her story for this season will should end there.
news doesnt travel terribly fast. in westeros it travels by raven, in essos the stories come with traveling sailors. ex: it seems no one in essos has heard of tywins death yet as both jorah and dany are surprised by it. even if mace knew, hes a fool. he'll go back to westeros empty handed. the iron bank is already thrown in their lot with stannis.
