I think this was the worst season so far. Just shocking scenes for the sake of being shocking. It used to be "this is realistic so the good guys don't always win", now it's "this is edgy so the bad guys will almost always win". Not to even mention the hugely anti-climatic battle of Winterfell, the absolutely cringeworthy Sand Snakes performances and general stupidity. All build up, no payoff.
Thats not how I read it. How did you come to that conclusion? When the Hound and Arya where caught by the Brotherhood dudes and the Hound killed their champ/leader he was brought back without to much fuss by the Fire Priest guy. I think John is gone, she was too late or too weak to pull it off because she is really fuckin old. IDK but that was my take on it.
I first thought that she was going to perform an "advanced miracle", not just bring back Jon but somehow slaughter the mutinying Night's Watch men as well, something grand which would require a sacrifice.
Then after thinking a bit, another possibility would be that that was her true form, which she normally hides, maybe with the potions the camera panned over. This would make sense since we don't know much about her past, she certainly looks too young for the kind of power she wields.
Also, Sand Snakes are more annoying than Joffrey, Ramsey and Cercei combined.
It's about time they killed off Greyjoy, he died in book 2, but it only implies that he is killed by his brother. I'm glad they aren't going to leave out Crow's Eye. Stoked for the Kingsmoot.
Of course Ramsey killed is father, what else would you expect? I'm disappointed that Roose didn't even seem to expect it though. He just seemed too smart to be killed off so easily. He should have known better than to trust a psychopath.
I still believe in the theory that Roose Bolton was an ancient human/iceman hybrid who was going to change into Ramsey's body once he grew too old in his current one.
Also I think now my previous prediction is obviously true, fucking called it. What else could it be?
