Clearly fight looming at Castle Black. I think Wun Wun will go postal in book, too, so i like that connection. I'm in for Castle Black.

I think the battle for Winterfell has already been fought. RIP Stannis. I think the Battle of the Bastards will settle who controls North - and Winterfell. Open-minded about Ramsey dying there are going on the lam.

I also watched a vid the other day that had interesting crackpot speculation. Remember the scene in big vid drop of two burning flayed corpses? Roose and Walda.

honestly i think theres a better chance of Ramsay killing Roose than the other way around.

ive heard that, but i dont think thats the case. i think its more likely thatd be a northern lord. its being used as intimidation, and killing Roose would please the Stark supporters, not intimidate them. although you could be right, because losing Roose would be a good first step to the downfall of the Boltons imo

Hopefully it's Wun Wun busting out Ghost.

The below link is analysis for the 4.24 drop. Its very long - 45 minutes, but it includes some impressive research, cross references, and speculation. There's some jibber jabber of course, but i found it a worthwhile watch.

Here's a random thought. After re-reading 5th book, I was struck by how the Boltons sowed the seeds for Theon's escape. Overly confident in Ramsay's brainwashing? The one Theon shot in trailer shows dogs - Ramsay's girls. I think it would be funny if the girls track Theon and then don't attack him because they recognize him as one of their pack. #backfire I'll tack this on, it would seem out of character if Ramsay sent out some of his crew and his girls to find Theon and Sansa. He's want to be on that hunt, right?

At 32 min Dayne doesn't look as badass as he needs to. Interesting that BG says this is what kingsguard armor for the period should look like. Her stuff is pretty well sourced. Also, her voice is a lot less annoying to me than Rawrist. Good find!

I'm rather sick of the Bolton's portrayal. Fingers crossed they do away with the entire family this season. Decidedly not a very GoT thing to have happen, (giving the people what they want) but I'm hoping D&D whack both father and son by the end of the season.

Not overly interested in Ramsey's quest to become a somebody. I liked the dynamic better when Roose was wheeling and dealing. When they settled into Winterfell I just didn't care for them anymore.

We'll have to see how it turns out. But, i will be disappointed if Dayne isn't swinging Dawn, and if there is really only Ned + 5. If they're going to show 6, why not stick with canon and use 7. I also pictured Howland as much smaller physically, armed with spear, net, etc. Gear appropriate to the Neck. I still expect TOJ to be awesome reveal.

I, too, view Roose as a scheming climber one step ahead of everyone else. But, he's made or is making mistakes. He has no natural allies other than Ramsay - good luck with that. I think when events start to turn on him, he'll be a goner. Season 6 exit will be no surprise.

I do wonder about Ramsay. The showrunners have made him smarter and more daring than books. The North needs to be well rid of both of them, but i wouldn't be surprised if they kept Ramsay around as a fly in the ointment. Reek/Theon and Sansa/Arya escaped from him. Betrayed him. And, i could see showrunners keeping him around and making that a secondary storyline.
