Actually that's the most interesting aspect of this plot turn. If this is the case, imo, Davos will not kill Thorne right away. We will get to see Davos reaction, and how the disagreement with Thorne evolves with Davos and the new Kingsguard I feel we may get 1 or 2 episodes at the Wall with the NW post-Jon before action is taken.

If they give Thorne only 1 additional scene prior to dying I'd be disappointed. I want to see him and the NW immediately post-Jon and what Thorne says to his men, how he sold it, how he is selling it, and how the NW is feeling after the fact.

Its easy to go along with something in a big group and commit the act together, the aftermath not so easy. Some Thorne and Davos scenes would be most welcome.

I would be fine with that. Although we may learn of Thorne's motivations when he assembles his attack crew before going for Jon. I would like that. Beyond that - the showrunners have made Thorne irredeemable IMO.

Thought I would share a couple things:

Here is some info on AGOT beyond season 6. I think we might be past the point of showrunners planning to include TWOW content (whenever released).

And, HBO will have a new show to discuss each episode afterward. It will be hosted by Greenwald and Ryan from the defunct Grantland site. They have not read the books, so they approach each episode as TV critics. They're pretty interesting and they're Grantland schtick was pretty funny.

Meh when an HBO shows season length is cut short, even if "intentional", its means the writing wasn't there to support it.

See another popular HBO primetime series True Detective.

TD season 1, stellar amazing. TD season 2, was shorted by 2 episodes, saw very weird writing and barely passable as a primetime show with weird endings.

See another popular HBO primetime series Boardwalk Empire.

The season before the final season was passable enough. The final season was cut short by 3-4 episodes and the characters were completely unbelievable in their actions and behavior severing any emotional attachment, against a wrapup plot that was completely transparent.

So. Are you ready for some Lord of Light resurrection? Kidding, I think this season will be stellar.

Yeah. They've created/adapted an all-time hit TV show and its bothersome to them because its become a full-time job. Something about that doesn't sit well with me. But I haven't finished my first caffe Verona, so I'll stop here because I feel like complaining about season 5.

I don't know who the Lord of Light will resurrect, but it won't be Jon. I think they're going to rub a little Grecian Formula 44 weirwood paste on his butt & shock him back to life.

So. Are you ready for some Lord of Light resurrection? Kidding, I think this season will be stellar.

this doesnt smell good. Jon will be back no later than Ep3 because we've seen him on set for the battle of Winterfell.

i have a feeling the end of this show will not be great. at least it wont ruin the books at this rate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Whether Jon is dead or alive for much of the season is probably not of much consequence.

Now the possibility of Stoneheart on the other hand-- that is some consequence.

theres no confirmation it was actually her, and i havent seen anything else as a second source so i wouldnt get my hope up.

but the WotW nerds are usually pretty accurate with information

I'll throw another log on the Stoneheart fire. Although i'm in the Sansa as Stoneheart avenger corner.

i love this and hadn't seen it before. as much as i really really want LSH in the show, im with you guys on them giving the role to Sansa. i mean what else is there for her to do? however, another interesting tidbit is this; the last time we see jaime and brienne in the books, she is telling him the bs about the hound and sansa, and we are led to believe shes bringing him back to LSH's camp. in the trailers we can clearly see scenes where brienne is at riverrun, and jaime is riding through a lannister war camp. yes this camp could be outside the twins, but i think it more likely that it's the siege at riverrun, and jaime is there to end it. Brienne doesn't know LSH in the show, but maybe Sansa will ask Brienne to bring her Jaime as a sign to prove her loyalty to Sansa and the Stark cause.
