HBO has released several new photos from the fifth episode of Game of Thrones season 6. The episode, which will be called “The Door,” is Jack Bender’s first outing as director for the show. The episode preview is teasing exciting moments in the North and beyond the Wall, and an intriguing new Red priestess meeting with the leaders of Meereen.
Official episode synopsis: Tyrion seeks a strange ally. Bran learns a great deal. Brienne goes on a mission. Arya is given a chance to prove herself.
Photos and potential spoilers below the cut!
Updated 5/19: We’ve updated the post with several more photos today!

Fans have observed throughout the pre-season this year that the Night’s King looks a little different in season 6. Based on the credits listed for this photo , courtesy of HBO, it seems they were right. The Night’s King is credited as being played by Vladimir Furdik, a stunt performer who played the White Walker that Jon crossed swords with at Hardhome and did stunt work for the Tower of Joy scene this year.

Littlefinger is having a tense moment with Sansa, as glimpsed in the preview video. Will the Knights of the Vale be enough of a gift for her to overlook his actions last year?

This image of Leaf and other Children of the Forest in episode 5 appears on HBONow:
This image of Littlefinger in the episode is from HBO.com:
Farfarawaysite has uploaded several more photos today from the episode:
Aeron Greyjoy (Michael Feast), probably at the Kingsmoot at this point.
Arya Stark, nicely cleaned up and seeing- possibly looking at Jaqen?
Jaqen H’ghar, preparing a body.
Slightly different shot of Brienne here but very similar to the one of released before season 6 began.
One of Bran’s visions this week will take him and the Three-Eyed Raven back to Winterfell’s courtard, it seems!
In these next few with Jorah and Daario, Daenerys isn’t visible anymore. So will she find out about Jorah’s greyscale? Is this him revealing his affliction to her or is the knight merely discussing the situation with his rival?
More shots from Littlefinger and Sansa’s tense reunion.
Missandei in the pyramid
Another vision of Bran’s, since he’s standing. Looking at the greenery and the stones, they’re the same as the ones in the photo of Leaf and the Children of the Forest up above. That would confirm the theory that the image of the CotF is of them in many years past, with Bran witnessing it. Perhaps we’re getting some back story in this episode on how the Children came to be largely wiped out/driven into hiding, or something about a connection to White Walkers since we’re seeing the Night’s King as well this week?
And Tyrion and Varys continue to look like they’re not having a swell time in Meereen.
Gendry!

jentarioQuote Reply
I’m beginning to think that this episode and the next one are going to do something the show hasn’t really done since S1E1, which is cover a great deal of time in the episode. There are several plots right now where sooner or later not much needs to be shown but a lot of time needs to pass. For instance,
– Dany needs to get the Dothraki to wherever they will eventually get on boats.
– The Tyrells need to gather their army and get it inside Kings Landing
– Jon and Sansa (yay!!!) need to gather the Wildlings, rally the loyal North, and prep for the showdown with Ramsay
-Sam needs to get to Horn Hill and then get to Oldtown
That’s a lot of ground to cover, and I could easily see a montage or two to show that passage of time. Its also the only way I could understand how Littlefinger is going to be in Castle Black this week after being in the Vale last week. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this episode ends up covering a month, or more.

Leaf looks like she wants to beat some ass in that picture of the CotF crouching but the rest seem pleasant enough at that moment. I wonder the context? It doesn’t appear to be cold/snowy where they are, so I’m guessing it’s a flashback?

Castle Black. The first photo matches Jon’s photo. Brienne and Sansa are looking at Jon who seems to be telling them what their next steps will be. Sansa looks kinda happy/admiring while Brienne, who knows more about violence and war, is a bit more skeptical. Or I’m writing my own fan fiction.

I hope Sansa is still at the Wall there, it looks like she’s in the same hall with Jon but the pic with LF looks nothing like CB..

That image of the children of the forest is definitely the same location shown in the Bran Vision from the trailer.

According to that picture of Melisandre in horse ready to leave Castle Black, in this episode Jon, Sansa, Davos, Mel and company should leave Castle Black.
So I don´t think Petyr is in the Wall in that picture, maybe is the brothel when the Wildlings attack back in Season 4, looks familiar.
I´m so pumped for the vision of Bran and the Nights King… also, Meera in the promo is trying to wake up Bran from the vision…. White Walkers attacking the Cave, gotta be that.

Conjecture, maybe Jon is telling them that the Umbers and Karstarks have joined the Boltons, which would make their task even more difficult than they had previously believed. In particular, perhaps the suspicion that Umber handed over Rickon.

I also want to watch Sansa and Jon rallying the North together to fight that monster. I’m waiting for a scene with Jon, Sansa, Davos, Mel, Brienne, Tormund and Pod making plans. Unfortunately, there is evidence Brienne will go to the Riverlands. The group will separate.
I’m worried Sansa will be too upset and proud to accept Littlefinger’s help, which would be a huge political mistake under the circumstances. I hope she shows she is smarter than that. We know Littlefinger will be involved but I hope it’s since the beginning.
MagQuote Reply
I guessed that they were facing each other not based on the map (that is impossible), but based on how they both seemed to be facing someone. Of course they could all be looking at a third person (say Baelish), but the look on Sansa’s face suggests she is looking at Jon (someone she trusts).
They are planning the next moves, like who will go where to recruit which houses etc. Does not work well if they are all on same side of the table.
IMO, the background is as helpless as the map to say which side of the table.

I hope this new dimension makes Mereen as interesting as it should be…so far it’s been a bit 50-50 imo.
And I hope she mentions Melisandre too, or at least her mission…so the Daeny-Jon stories can finally slowly but steadily begin to converge.
They have no idea where Arya could be so I dont think theres much they can do about her. Brienne’s mission has got to be some rallying. Trailer’s already given away that she’ll meet House Tully (could it be cos of Catelyn’s connection) and Davos will secure House Mormont…Jon’s secured the wildlings but I dont know who else he can inspire just yet…Sansa’s already got LF coming for her…
I dont think there’s much great stuff to see in the North as we have done so far (except anguish from any Ramsay-Rickon interactions) until the Battle.

To be honest, Brienne and Sansa are probably discussing plans with Jon and Davos (not pictured). As that seems to be a pretty big map.

Right. I am not confident of either Ramsay or Littlefinger’s current mindset towards their “alliance.” Neither views the other as trustworthy (imo). To me, LF’s route depends on if he’s trying to go north stealthy (via ship) or right under Ramsay’s nose (KR).
This goes back to my desire to find out the route LF will take to reach Sansa as it will give insight into the current state of his relationship with Ramsay and by extension his motives towards Sansa.

The most intriguing picture so far is of the CotF. Is it past or present, and what is happening? Is the title also a reference to a door to the past? Kinvara looks mysterious and great!

I get the feeling Jon, Sansa, Brienne, Podrik, Davos, and Tormund are plotting strategy and determining who will go where. They don’t have the time for all of them to go to the same places together, so they have to split up.
We know from the trailer that Davos goes to Bear Island. Maybe Deepwood Motte as well?
We also know from the trailer that Brienne and Pod go to Riverrun. Maybe their job is to rescue Edmure and Brynden and/or to rally the Riverlords (after all, Sansa and her full siblings are heirs to Riverrun).
Perhaps Sansa goes to rally the Vale.

The scar came from Varamyrs eagle when he escaped the Wildlings.

I think that Petyr will show up and offer the Vale army as penance for leaving Sansa to Ramsey, I think Sansa will struggle with it,, she might have a powerful monologue where she might tell Petyr exactly what Ramsey did to her. Brienne will council that Baelish needs to get his head kicked in by Wun Wun, and Jon, though he’s angry at Baelish, will council restraint and working with LF for now because they need the Vale army to help them take out Ramsey.

King Crow Lord Snow,
If, the Tullys use male-preference primogeniture, then Hoster Tully’s children go before Hoster’s siblings but males are preferred. So all sons of Hoster (and their subsequent children), in order from oldest to youngest would go before all daughters of Hoster (and their children), ranked from oldest to youngest.
Edmure was the only son, so he goes first. Any children of his would come next, sons before daughters. Catelyn was the oldest daughter, so she and her line comes next. Then Lysa and her child.
So, the Stark children would be heir presumptive, not heir apparent, meaning they could be displaced if Edmure has any trueborn children.
So the line of Tully succession would have been, at the start of the show: Edmure, Catelyn, Robb, Bran, Rickon, Sansa, Arya, Lysa, Robin, Brynden.
TheUnknown285Quote Reply
In the scene that Brienne and Sansa is meeting with Littlefinger, Brienne is wearing her blue armor. But in the photo posted above, Brienne is not wearing armor. Probably the LF/Sansa meeting happens after Sansa and Jon part ways, and Sansa outside Castle Black (hence the armor on Brienne). Maybe LF runs into Brienne and Sansa like Brienne keeps running into the Stark sisters.

I wonder if Melanie Liburd will take the role of Moqorro in show. I don’t think the show would need to add 2 new Red Priestess characters for the Meereen storyline so I can see Euron coming across her on his way to Dany.
Still wish they kept the original look for the Children of the Forest or at least still had them being played by children. I know technically they are not children but they are little mystical creatures that I think come across better when being played by children not grown women.

Get over it! Who cares! Show would be boring if we saw Baelish traveling in between and mentioning the time it takes is such a waste of good dialogue that the show needs. What I would rather know about are his travels like how did he get there (horse or boat) and where did he go or what did he see? That is information that is worth noting. Not noting how long his travels were because some people are way to picky about a TV show.

I do think so, too, as the huge curveball for Samwell´s plans this season will be that the Tarlys won´t be staying in Hornhill as Mace/Olenna call for arms. Sam will then be in the conflict of leaving Gilly in a fortress without many remaining defenders plus he would again be an oathbreaker for promising her that she could stay with his family while in reality she would have to stay in an empty castle. At least that´s a guess.

Apollo,
While I subscribe to that to almost a hundred percent, I do believe that going to a secluded place that can only be reached by ship (such as Bear Island) will not be the best solution for rallying the North, especially when troops have to be transported from there. And even if the forces do not actively gather on bear Island, it would still make more sense to spread the word of a Stark-claim on the North from the land, somewhere relatively central in the North. A place on land would make more sense, plus Deepwood Motte has already been mentioned in this season. Maybe they will go there and meet the Glovers? Maege Mormont might be there, too, without it being too much of a stretch, they may always find a reason for that.
Or did I miss something and Bear Island is already hinted at? Which may be very very possible 😉
Blackfish´s AllyQuote Reply
I have no idea where they are going to meet. But the place they meet to rally the north doesn’t have to be a staging location for armies and troops. Heck, I think Churchill and Roosevelt met in all kinds of places.
Dolorous MethuselahQuote Reply
Blackfish´s Ally,
We had some foreshadowing of the Mormonts unwavering loyalty to House Stark last season, and there were Mormont banners in one of the promo shots of Sansa in a Northern castle setting…that’s what makes me think it’s Bear Island. Although I do see how logistically difficult that is. It doesn’t really matter where she goes I suppose, as they can establish the Great Northern Alliance fairly quickly.
ApolloQuote Reply
No need to be so slightly cranky, I´m aware that they could could meet anywhere, I wanted to express why it maybe isn´t Bear Island based on what I knew at this point and nothing more. Except you were trying to emulate a bit of Dolorous Edd, then I salute you for staying so much in character.
Apollo,
Ah, I see, thank you very much. I did not get a glimpse those promo-shots, but then it might well be Bear Island. Was there much to see of the castle-setting? Since if it was a stone-castle, Deepwood Motte would most likely be out of the equation.
Blackfish´s AllyQuote Reply
Blackfish´s Ally,
There was very little to see in all honesty, in fact there was an ongoing debate it was Winterfell because of the chandeliers (that clearly didn’t match WF). I think someone posted a brighter pic though that showed the Mormont banners, but then it’s equally possible that it’s another Northern stronghold with many banners hanging in the same hall.
We’ll know soon enough 😉

I really hope there’s no KL. Everything has been set up for the Tyrell army scene set to happen in Episode 6. We need time for other storylines.

3. Pyke: Kingsmoot
4. Daenerys: Dany and the gang riding out
5. Meereen: Tyrion and Varys meet Kinvara
6. Arya: New mission, maybe intro to theater troupe?
We also need to meet Sam and Gilly at Horn Hill. And maybe a quick catchup with Rickon and Ramsay at Winterfell. And Dorne!! They cant just pretend that storyline doesnt exist. What are the Sand Snakes up to? What’s up with Ellaria?

Which sources? I haven’t seen that anywhere, not even here. I really liked Brake, he has a distinctive face. I was hoping this was a different Night’s King from the past (we see the Walker that Jon killed at HH by his side in some scenes, so I reckoned it would be flashbacks.)
ValaquenQuote Reply
Please no, let’s leave Dorne out of there as long as possible. I’ll settle for just getting Dorne updates through dialogue at King’s Landing.
I also don’t really want many updates of Ramsay and Rickon. I don’t want to see on-screen torture of Rickon. If we check in with Ramsay, hopefully it will only be to see him and Karstark organizing a battle plan, or receiving word that the Manderly’s have pledged support (so that it sets up Wyman switching his allegiance to the Starks in episode 6 or 7).
KamaliQuote Reply
More like invisibility. Time is a bit vague, and one could plausibly imagine a few week’s between episodes. But how he makes his way through long distances of not-very-LF-friendly territory is more questionable. Obviously he isn’t going to land a White Harbor and march right through Bolton/Umber territory. So he lands by Eastwatch, I guess? That’s not very safe, either.
Of course, Sansa and Co waltzed right through Umber territory as well, so maybe it isn’t that hard.

Sansa is still wearing her WF clothes, which is logical, as CB would not have a ladies’ boutique. Am I the only one dying to see the black Stark embroidered dress of the trailers, its design, length, cut, etc? I guess I would have to wait until she reached Bear Island, as there would be the only place to have the material and where she would be able to sew and embroider it herself.

I thought about that. Littlefinger *could* reach Eastwatch (and parts thereabout) in under a week from Runestone, with a good wind. Of course, I have no idea where he is actually meeting Sansa, or how much time the showrunners are positing to have passed when they do – or for that matter, exactly when the scene between Littlefinger, Royce and Robin is supposed to have happened, beyond the fact that it’s after Sansa’s escape from Winterfell (there’s nothing that says an episode’s scenes have to be simultaneous with each other).
But travel by sea for much of the journey could hack the time down to something fairly reasonable – if they’re being reasonable about it.

I’m guessing that’s due to the fact tha Catelyn was the oldest within the siblings (older than Lysa or Edmure). Edmure bares no children of his own, therefore – Cat’s sons are the only legit heirs I belive. now, since Robb is dead, the legit heirs to Riverrun are either Bran or Rickon.

That is hard to say. Sansa was not initially going to be one of the primary protagonists of the series. However, TV!Sansa has been greatly boosted in prominence and in the rate of character evolution. So, it could be that she is going to be as big (or nearly as big) as Jon, Daeny, Tyrion, Arya and Bran in the end.
That written, she could be the central character of her part of the story and still be “supporting” where the plot is concerned.

I’m hoping Drogon shows up this week. I keep thinking about that comment from the VFX department that the dragons would double in size for season six, obviously more specifically Drogon. The Westeros storylines appear to have only advanced a few days since the season five finale, especially at The Wall. If we are set on the belief that the events in Essos are happening at the same general time it’s hard to think that more than a week or two at most has passed for them. Even if we unlink the timing between the continents it’s pretty impossible to think Daenerys has been gone from Meereen long enough for Drogon to grow very much. I suppose it could be odd to see Drogon suddenly twice as large if we want to nit-pick, but ignoring the time frame it would be pretty sweet.

Interesting theory, and something that I have been thinking too. I read somewhere that Tad Williams was an inspiration for GRRM, and the Memory, Thorn and Sorrow books have this as a theme, with the Sithi and Norns originating as one people who split, with the Sithi essentially ‘the goodies’ and the Norns ‘the baddies’ (not quite that simple but meh) … they also have the main protagonists relying on prophesies in ancient texts that, when they come to pass, are not what they expected, in some cases assisting the enemy. I wonder about the TPTWP prophesies in relation to this…

Re: Littlefinger’s speedy travel time: Did you notice in that scene with Robin and Lord Royce, Littlefinger’s traveling party pulled in pretty speedily – It was just him in that lightweight little travel-trailer coach, plus only a few soldiers surrounding, and they rode in at top speed, I imagine to give the impression that he does indeed move through the kingdom very quickly. So, I believe he could get from place to place much more quickly than a normal traveling party – he doesn’t have an entourage to slow him down.

The Wall has definitely been the best in Season 5 and so far in Season 6. But seasons 1-4 were all about King’s Landing. I found it hard to care much about the other locations (besides Dany in Season 1 when she was by favourite character by far).

In the preview, it showed Meera frantic, trying to awaken Bran. Where’s the TER? Doesn’t he normally pull Bran from those visions? Do you think Bran tried to get back to the TOJ vision by himself and got time-warped into the NK visions or something, almost like having a nightmare? I could skip the stuff in KL for an episode, just to have more time spent with Bran and those visions. Never thought I would be so intrigued by learning the back-story, but I am.
Also, is Euron supposed to show up in this episode? I seem to remember a brief view of a number of ships blowing on the sea. Is that supposed to be his fleet?

“You will see the Arya everyone fell in love with in Season 1.”
This is a quote from aninterview she gave. Is it just me or does that contradict where she said weeks ago that Arya fans might have a hard time stayng with her, like she’s really at her lowest etc. Some of these actors can be teases lol. I like that they make us think something so we won’t be spoiled I guess.

Brothers go before daughters though. That’s why Stannis and Renly are ahead of Myrcella (in episode 1.05 Renly tells Loras he is fourth in line, after Joffrey, Tommen and Stannis). So Brynden is ahead of Edmure.

Sansa is one of the primary characters of the story, if any of you can’t see this it’s because you don’t want to. Honestly i can’t see why Arya for example (who is by the way one of my absolute favorites) is more important than her? If Sansa succeed in what she’s trying to do this season then it’s by far bigger than anything Arya might hopefully accomplish.
This season is her overall journey’s pinnacle and her storyline along with jon is the best, if anyone can’t see this the reason is one of these two, you either don’t like this character in general or you’re one of those book readers who disagree with changes from the books.
These are my opinions and i don’t represent them as facts like so many people do (they’re clearly obvious facts to myself but i don’t represent them as such for others).
Also this was the last time i talked about these, because arguing with people who already made up their mind about something is pointless.

Yeah when he used the word epic it made me think of the battle. I just didn’t realize they’d wait till that episode to give us the TOJ revelation, which is what I assume he means regarding his story. But that would actually be an exciting way of doing it, even though it means a longer wait….ugh this season going to be over before we know it. After all the waiting we did it’s flying by!

I feel like she should know this already. His position as Daenerys’s adviser isn’t exactly a secret. And word of a dwarf and a eunuch ruling in Meereen would probably spread fast, wouldn’t it?
AustenQuote Reply
I have a question to anyone. Before bed last night I watched the behind scene documentary and noticed something at the TOJ. Right after Ned chopped the head of Arthur Dayne that’s when Lyanna’s scream came from the tower. It sounded like a shriek, not so much a sound of childbirth type but more so a different kind of pain like she was being hurt, or, possibly shock and heartache.
So then I’m thinking what if Arthur Dayne is her lover, that would make sense for that scream, but what doesn’t add up is the fact he doesn’t act like it to Ned. He doesn’t declare his love for sister and assure him she’s OK.
But to continue, is it possible Lyanna committed suicide in a moment of despair? Her father, brother, and now her true love are all dead and on top she probably feels responsible. The way I’ve heard the promise from different text quotes it does seem like there is more than one and that Ned didn’t fulfill one of them and that’s why he has such grief.
Taking the theory here what could it be? I know only RL+J makes the most sense but even some things there don’t add up.

You’re probably right because it really wouldn’t make sense to include that sequence in the big action episode. The focus has to be streamlined for the penultimate Ep to be effectively epic. We will be told sooner than that through Bran, but could it be Jon himself finds out here like right before the battle or after? Like, what if Meera gets a message to her father. The forest fairy (Leaf?) said Bran will need her. Maybe that’s one of the ways she helps. Could Howland Reed and his men join up with the Stark forces? We haven’t heard anything about that house have we?

If I may, I am going to explain the Littlefinger travel speed dilema.
Right, Melisandre turned up at Castle Black well after the Battle which got Stannis killed, the storylines were playing out at slightly different times. So Mel up and left, Stannis marched out and got destroyed, Sansa escaped. Sansa joins up with Brienne. They start to travel to Castle Black.
Littlefinger’s spies dispatch the news of Sansa by raven to Littlefinger, who we’ll presume is in the Vale, after KL last season.. he goes to seek Lord Robyn at Runestone.. they agree to gather the vale forces. Littlefinger sets off for Castle Black, goes by boat to White Harbour.
Littlefinger travels with all haste from White Harbour…..Mel arrives at CB after a couple of weeks, Jon is Stabbed. Littlefinger is travelling as fast as he can. Jon is resurrected by Mel, Sansa arrives at CB.
Jon, Sansa and crew plan what to do next for a week or so.. Littlefinger finally arrives at Castle Black.
See… it’s all perfectly reasonable. Anyway…. that is what has happened in my mind!

But certain frequent posters here have told us again and again and again and again that LF has no spies in the North, because (well, I never did figure that out), and that is why he was clueless about Ramsay despite the fact that Ramsay has never hidden his awful behavior. If he did have spies (Book LF certainly would have!), then Ramsay was impossible to miss.
For the record, I don’t think LF’s travels are necessarily a problem time-wise, especially if you allow the show to be asynchronous and assume the Vale seen occurred before the Wall scenes in the last episode by a couple of weeks. I find that this kind of assumption doesn’t work so well on TV compared to the page, but if you go with it, LF has enough time to get to the Wall. The problem is more HOW does he get to the Wall? The North is not safe, especially for him, and marching across leagues of semi-hostile terrain doesn’t sound like a brilliant plan on his part.

Do you really think there will be a door the Others can pass through? Isn’t the Wall warded against that?

Chad Brick,
True, maybe Littlefinger has learned that Ramsay is a bit of a lunatic, flaying enemies, torturing etc, but didn’t completely know or trust the behind closed doors stuff, like Reek. He therefore assumed incorrectly that he wouldn’t dare hurt Sansa in the same way, given her importance and the fact she would be his wife (very different from a Bolton enemy). Even Roose was annoyed about that behavior. His spies never found Arya, so they aren’t reliable in the absolute sense.
Yes the North is partially dangerous for him.. not the Bolton controlled parts though as he has made an alliance with them and they wouldn’t know he has knowledge of Sansa’s escape. I’m sure regular Northern soldiers don’t have a clue what Lord Baelish looks like. I would like to think he’s clever enough to slip through the net somehow. Then again he always rides round with Vale bodyguards which gives it away a bit! Perhaps he has a selection of Northern banners and swaps them over every time he enters a different region of the North. I mean he got away with the plot of killing a Hand of the King and the actual King himself.

So we found that Mel is really old. Well the latest theory going around the net is we will also have an AMAZING Littlefinger reveal this year. He really is a time traveller much like Bran. This is how he is always able to show up at the right point at the right time. Here is the proof:
* He shows up out of nowhere ALL the time just when it is convenient
* Others tend to overlook him.
* He travels alone frequently
* we have no evidence of him having any spies yet he knows stuff.
* He has a mustache, It is known
* His clothes are always spotless yet he never packs.
* Little Finger. DUH
There is plenty more compelling stuff in the books, I am sure after this post the evidence will PILE up.

LF didn’t knew about Ramsey just like Ned didn’t knew about Roose raping married women and hanging their husbands.
H clearly says so to Ramsey himself: ”I know very little about you”.
At most, he would know he beaten the Ironborn and flayed them….as every Bolton did for thousands of years, just like the Starks would have executed them. Flaying was just Bolton tradition.

Theon was public knowledge throughout S4, so LF should have had plenty of time to figure that out by S5. Ramsay’s habit of killing people with hounds is also something that would be impossible to keep secret, as it is loud and done in the open. The real LF would have known what a horror he was and would have never entrusted Sansa to him. TV LF, by all accounts, was just supposed to be stupid on this point. The directors and actors have reiterated this a number of times.
LF is not safe in Ramsay’s north, especially if he appears to be heading towards Castle Black. Ramsay would instantly assume he was up to no good (and be right about it). The only semi-plausible way for LF would be to land at Eastwatch and move along the Wall, but even that is fraught with danger.
In the end, it is largely moot. He will just teleport yet again and no explanation will be given as to how he got there or gets out again.
Also, as for LF not finding Arya, that is actually rather logical. In a world the size of Westeros, chance meetings are a miracle – a miracle that occurs far too often in the show, and to a lesser extent the books. Even if he was looking hard for her, she’d be close to impossible to find.

Ramsay’s North hasn’t existed for very long…. if the timeline between stories is slightly off, then Roose was murdered by Ramsay whilst Littlefinger is travelling to Castle Black.
I know what you are saying though, you have to work hard to explain away LF story sometimes.. constantly showing up at the right time and learning of Sansa’s escape almost immediately but not knowing what kind of a person Ramsay really was. Maybe his lust for power in the North really does out weigh his affection for Sansa. Maybe he believed Sansa would be safer as his wife as Roose would not allow any real harm to come to her.

I’m wondering if Brans vision goes from some happy ho lucky image of CoTF during Summer times and slowly morphs into a Nightmarish vision of NK
Or if that is a vision of NK from the past, eg GRRM has said it is more like a Champion of the Others for the age but I wonder if the show is going to make him the mythical 13th LC of the Nights Watch

As for the seas going dry, the “common” theory is that the Dothraki sea was beginning to dry out due to autumn (in the books at least), but I also like the idea of the shivering sea going dry (i.e. freezing over), to allow the WWs to invade.

There’s a whole lot of vagueness around the rules for the Iron Throne, but it’s been stated multiple times in the books that daughters come before uncles in the ordinary succession for noble houses. That’s why, e.g., Cersei is Lady of the Rock rather than Kevan (though I don’t think the show has ever mentioned who the new lord of the Rock is after Tywin died).

I want that though! I want the tension. Both Jon and Sansa are coming from totally different places and have experienced totally different things. It would be too neat and clean if Sansa started sprouting strategy and Jon shaking his head “Whatever you say!”. They need to work together but they also have individual strengths and weaknesses that this battle can and probably will expose. Of course, any tension isn’t going to put a divide between them. They just found each other and aren’t going to start hating each other. They can be angry with each other. They can disagree but the build up of taking Winterfell should be just as harried and tense as the battle. I really believe the support won’t waver. They know how lucky they are to have found each other how they did but I think Jon might question Sansa’s judgement, just like she might question Jon’s commitment. After all they have been through, family or no, both are probably scared shitless and that intensity could really feed right up to the start of the battle of the bastards.
Add into that

I do recall this interview. And more than “strategy” arguments, I think they’re going to argue whether or not it’s “wise” to go to war now and potentially lose a lot of men, when you need those men to fight the White Walkers later. It’ll be a “long term thinking” (prepare for White Walkers instead of fight amongst each other) versus a “short term thinking” (rid the North of House Bolton and reclaim Winterfell).
Both arguments have merit and both arguments are valid. More interestingly, both arguments come from personal and frightening/painful experiences. Jon has seen the White Walkers. He understands the threat and knows they’re all screwed when/if the White Walkers cross over. Similarly, Sansa understands the threat of Ramsay and knows the entire North is screwed anyways, if he remains it’s Warden. If it goes this way…it’ll be an interesting “conflict” to watch.

I want to lick your face for saying this. THANK YOU!! Cause God knows I think this exact same thing when people start with their nonsense about, “There’s only five main characters (Jon, Daenerys, Tyrion, Bran and Arya)”.
That people like Arya’s “badass” personality doesn’t make her anymore of a “main” character than Sansa. And you’re absolutely right in saying that if Sansa/Jon actually succeed in uniting the North and retaking Winterfell, she would have already accomplished far more than Arya has in the entire story.
As a side, what IS Arya’s purpose in the long run if she is a main character? And I don’t ask that question bitterly, I mean it sincerely. If the entirity of her character is built to simply get vengeance and kill people…how is she different than the Sand Snakes who, up to this point, have only served as the vehicle through which other characters get assassinated?
Arya’s endgame intrigues me because its insanely difficult to figure out. I can’t see where she fits in the long run, and endlessly wondering about it has me perplexed.

Question is, why Dayne and Lyanna – and how does this work better than R+L? Maybe to deliver Dawn as a familial sword instead of in the books as it is handled by “who’s worthy, regardless of family”

I can also see this happening, and they already kinda disagreed immediately after their reunion (and I was like “please don’t argue…can’t you just keep hugging?”).
But Sansa and Jon’s experiences over the past few years are so very different, as are their priorities with Sansa’s being family and Jon’s being overall survival of the realm, so it’s easy to see why there will be tension…but as long as they hug afterwards I’m cool with that.

Since the meeting appears to be in Mole’s Town rather than Castle Black, I’m guessing Jon won’t meet him yet.
Sean C.Quote Reply
So from the new photos, it looks like Jorah comes clean to Dany about his greyscale this week (or, more likely, Daario tells her and then Jorah admits it).
Also, I’m moderately surprised to see the Three-Eyed Raven is present during Bran’s second vision of Winterfell and his vision of the Children of the Forest. I had thought that Bran, being immensely frustrated with the way that the Three-Eyed Raven keeps pulling him out of the visions too early, would venture into the Weirwood net alone in search of answers, get stuck “beneath the sea”, and run afoul of the Night’s King. That may still happen – the Three-Eyed Raven is nowhere to be seen when Bran faces the White Walkers’ army – but perhaps it will be two separate trips.
For what it’s worth, I think that Bran’s encounter of the Night’s King is likely to be the final sequence of the episode. It’s possible it could be the Kingsmoot, but I don’t think that the Ironborn storyline is central enough to warrant that placement – yet.
Also, I originally thought that Bran might see the conclusion to the Tower of Joy in this episode. Now, however, I think we’ll only see Lyanna in Winterfell this week – along with Ned, Benjen Hodor, and maybe Old Nan and Rickard as well (there was a character cast who matched Rickard’s description, IIRC). Then perhaps we’ll get the Tower of Joy conclusion in Jack Bender’s second episode next week. I’m inclined to think that while the interior of the Tower of Joy will obviously be a massive reveal, whatever Bran learns about the White Walkers this week would be liable to overshadow it somewhat, particularly if they were immediately juxtaposed. Better to separate them, I think.
JaredQuote Reply

That’s what I was thinking as well. But then I remembered that Sansa asked Jon where he would go, and he responded “Where will we go”. So that makes me think that they’ll be sticking together at least for the foreseeable future.
Edit: But Mole’s Town is not far from Castle Black so I guess that line could be insignificant in this case

Mole’s Town isn’t far from the Wall. I imagine it’s just Sansa and Brienne making a day trip to meeting with Littlefinger (having gotten a message from him), not splitting from Jon long-term. They’ll head back to the Wall afterward, and then everybody rides out together at episode’s end (or rather, Jon and co. head off to Mormont country, while Brienne and Podrick ride south).

Yeah, sorry I added that in my edit. I’m also interested in where Littlefinger goes from there, back to the Eyrie?
Jay TargQuote Reply
I’m not so sure that Sansa would leave Jon to venture out to Moles town (even with Brienne in tow), or that he’d even let her out of his sight more to the point. She’s in way too much danger.
My guess is that they all set up camp there with the Wildlings seeing as it’s deserted (or that it was already settled by the Wildlings) and that LF is passing through en-route to Castle Black. But certainly Jon doesn’t need to be in that scene.
ApolloQuote Reply
I’m thinking Jon Sansa & Brienne are trying to determine which houses they can trust, and need to go to to get help to defeat Ramsay.
I sincerely hope Sansa doesn’t let Littlefinger back into her life. I hope Jon & Sansa don’t agree to let him “help” them with his army. He cannot be trusted at all. Sansa knows this better than anyone and so does Brienne & Pod
If Littlefinger knows their strategy, he can easily sabotage them. He play all sides. She needs to send him on his way, and Sansa needs to deal directly to Lord Royce. If she were able to convince Robbin Aeryn, he might send Littlefinger on a flight through the moon door! LOL! The more I think about it, the best way,IMO, to deal with Littlefinger is to separate him from his army. Sansa can do that.

Agro,
I think that Bran is alone in the White Walker vision is because the Night King senses him and drags him there and separates them or something. That is my prediction.
ConnorQuote Reply
Ha! Sansa playing games with LF… I am curious what will be LFs reaction to Brienne’s presence…I wonder what is the purpose of Jorah getting the scales. It would be disappointing if they do it only to off him in a more tragic way. If he reveals it to Daenerys in these photos I don’t see what the twist is going to be… Could he replace Selmy’s destiny in the coming siege of Meeren? As for Bran I believe that it might be possible that BR will deliberately expose him to meet the WWs face to face as a kind of punishment for being reculcitrant…

I also wonder abou Arya’s end game; its become quite disconnected from the rest (except for her meeting with Brienne). I suspect that her seeing the acting company may change that, perhaps awaken who she is and what she needs to be doing.

Yaga,
I’m hoping that Sam and Gilly will make it to Horn Hill this week. The fact that they’ve been excluded from the trailer and the promotional photos doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be absent – Ramsay was absent from both last week, and he wound up being in the episode after all. But if they don’t appear next week, at least we know they’ll definitely be in Episode 6.
In a way, Sam’s thin plot this season makes sense. There really isn’t time enough time left in the series for him to become a maester, so whatever time he spends in Oldtown is likely to be brief (and probably interrupted by an Ironborn attack). Furthermore, his reunion with his family is definitely lower on the show’s priority list, given everything that’s happening in the other storylines. But I’ve been looking forward to meeting the Tarlys ever since that initial casting call, so I hope that they get a reasonable amount of screentime in the second half of the season. Melessa, Talla, and Dickon may be one-offs, but I think Randyll will play a larger role, at least. I remain convinced that his Valyrian steel sword Heartsbane will draw Sam’s attention, given the conversation about the power of Valyrian steel that Jon and Sam had at the end of Season 5.

Bran and BR in multiple locations! He’ll have at least 3 location visions this week! (scary NK from preview)
Why is he back in Winterfell? He looks upset. Maybe there will be a conversation about the flowers and the tourney or Ned and L’s chat about Robert… Ooh or maybe we’ll finally see Ned’s dad. And Hodor of course.
It’s too much to hope that he heard Sansa’s wish from last episode. 🙂
Endless possibilities.
But no ToJ. They like torture, don’t they? Promise me…
LF looks genuinely upset but the character is a good actor. Sansa, no matter what he says do not trust him-he’s responsible for everything (Jon Arryn, Ned, Jaime’s escape via Cat wanting her daughters, Tyrell/Lannister merger, Sansa and Tyrion’s marriage, Sansa and Tyrion being framed for murder, Lysa, leaving Sansa with the Boltons without guard or chaperone of any kind to be married to a “man he didn’t know”). Just smile and take his army then when you’re home in Winterfell poison him with a lemon cake…or a dagger.
Also with those 3 pics all together it looks like Daario is making Jorah show Dany his arm. That’s probably not good. Poor Jorah. Wish we knew the cure Stannis found for his daughter right about now.

Could Bran’s visions be about the creation of the Wall?
WillieBeansQuote Reply
I think the name of episode “Door” can have multiple references, but the main one I guess will be – from Aeron – the door, when Euron is coming back.
Somebody already mention this when the name was released, and now seeing Aeron there it makes perfect sense.

Came across a new interview with Jonathon Price. Beware spoilers, though! It made me super hyped from what occurred in the last episode, as well as for the rest of the KL stuff. By far one of my favorite plots. You’ll have to use the translate feature on your browsers.

I’m also thinking that we will not get the “big reveal” in the TOJ. I’m intrigued to know how they will piece this story together for Bran and the viewers.
mariambQuote Reply
I was wondering about his stab wounds – they were still there, obviously, and caused him pain (you could see it when he hugged Tormund and Edd) – what’s the deal with them? Was being dead for a bit just a really good cauterizer, and they’ll slowly heal? Because they were damn deep. Hmm.
Oh, you’re right – very much so!

Hawk,
Wow, Pryce revealed a surprising amount there. We already knew some of what he disclosed from the aired episodes and filming spoilers, but some of that was definitely new intel (perhaps some may have guessed it, but it was never confirmed). They directly asked him what happens in his storyline at the end of Season 6, and he gave them an answer – not in abundantly detailed answer, to be fair, but enough to really set the stage.
It really seems like when the actors speak with non-English speaking media outlets, they’re willing to divulge a bit more than they might otherwise. Kit Harington basically admitted that Game of Thrones would still be a part of his life for several more years when he spoke to a similar outlet last year.

I don’t think they realize how much their fans love the show/books and the hype that surrounds it. Sometimes I wonder if the show or the hype from speculation and mild spoilers are the best part.

Yeah, it’s generally the older actors who aren’t as committed to maintaining the obsessive veil of secrecy that’s become all too prevalent in the modern spoiler culture. Just ask Ian (“It’s only tits and dragons”) McShane. 😉
No worries on my part – spoilers have never once ruined my enjoyment of any well-crafted story. But fair warning to those who would like to avoid any such reveals. This interview doesn’t give the entire game away, but it’s more detailed than most.

If your an honest person you take him to mean fray, if you don’t trust him it could be Frey.

Going to put this in spoilers. If you’re ok with spoilers and it doesn’t hinder your viewing experience, feel free to look. If you love to be surprised only while watching it, I wouldn’t recommend looking. It’s not super revealing, but it outlines an event. Personally, I think it’s a great piece for speculation.
HawkQuote Reply
I get the feeling that Jorah is about to get banished for the third and final time. I feel bad for him if that’s what happens, but I can understand Dany not wanting him to expose her newly acquired massive army to greyscale. I also remember that leaked photo from last year where
I hope I’m wrong though because I’d hate for poor Mr. Friendzone to be abandoned just like that at this point.
Those Bran visions look intense and could be full of a lot of information. I’m a bit scared to find out why exactly the CotF’s lush green environment turned into a frozen wasteland overrun with WW and wights. I’m starting to suspect the CotF may have played a hand in creating the WW. I wonder if the 3ER is killed in the WW vision and that’s why Meera is having a hard time waking Bran up. LOL, maybe the Night’s King is like Freddy Kruger.
Sansa looks none to happy with Littlefinger. I know she needs his army to defeat Ramsay but I hope she doesn’t fall for his smooth talking and lies. Her father and mother were fools to trust him and she made the mistake once before in trusting him. Please, don’t let her fall under his spell again. Just use him and lose him, girl. You’ve got your brother and his friends now to keep you safe.
I hope these pictures are an indication that there will be no significant amount of time spent in King’s Landing this episode. I don’t give a shit about Cersei and Co and I would welcome a break from them.

I could be wrong but my recollection of greyscale is that it is fatal to adults – only in some instances have infants been able to beat the disease. So I think Jorah is done, just trying to make himself worth something until it gets too bad.

Ginevra,
I think Arya will come upon the theatre troupe and see the play and get the gist of what’s going on in Westeros. Maybe she’ll find out about Sansa, or Jon, and something will snap, and she will want OUT and to go home (not without needle, of course). This is will be met with resisitance, but I have a feeling she’ll at least be in Westeros by the end of the season.

I love Jorah but I’m so tired of his character being reduced into a neverending cycle of “look what I got under my sleeve” -scenes. I wish he’d achieve some sort of personal accomplishment before dying so that his greyscale isn’t just an irrelevant side notion in the story. But his death has been dragged on for so long that it needs to happen asap.
I’m very much looking forward to Bran’s scenes. The stones Bran and the raven are walking around in the summery pic is the same we see covered in snow and in the possession of the White Walkers in the episode trailer. Would be so cool if they gave us info on how things came to be.
MakeThemBurnQuote Reply
The stone formation in the Bran & Bloodraven pic (and the CoTF pic) appear to be the same as the ones around the weirdwood tree covered in snow in the NK vision. Some sort of CoTF council, or a place of worship maybe, kind of like that altar thingy the White Walkers had in Season 4?

I think it could be telling from the promos where Sansa’s VO speaks of when she remembers what was taken from her; who is she saying it to, if it’s Jon or Brienne or Pod, she could come off as old Sansa, selfish or self centered, if it’s LF he will use it to try and divide and conquer house Stark (and if rumors are true)
to gain control.
