He died, but 1) the Red Woman could bring him back, and if you read the book, you’d know he’s a particularly powerful warg, although he doesn’t realize it. So, he can live on through his white wolf.

If he was fully dead you could look through his pockets for loose change.

My guess is that Tyrion and Sansa eventually fall in love.

Haven't watched the show but in the book Tyrion is totally scarred and has lost his nose. Probably not Sansa's cup of tea.

Then have yourself a nice MLT: a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.

Tyrion and Daenerys are the power couple if she can get control over her dragons. Dragons are air power, and once fully grown their fire can melt the walls of any fortress. Tyrion reads constantly, and he may be able to dig up some dragon training lore to help Daenerys make proper use of her small air force. I believe dragon fire can also kill White Walkers. If not they can at least use the fire to make dragon glass, which definitely can.

Wasn’t Lady Caitlyn Stark “resurrected”? Or were the Brotherhood guys just propping up a female body supposedly to be Lady Stark? Been a while since I read the book.

She was, but she is in rough shape. I think she was almost completely dead when she was fished out of the river and brought back. As I recall, she comes back in a bad mood.

Caitlyn Stark was resurrected in the books. She doesn’t appear to be coming back on the TV show.

I wonder. In the books, Caitlyn II is entangled with Brienne and presumably Jamie, who are both trying to keep their vows to her. It becomes a question of just how much violence the tv writers are prepared to do to the book narrative, and whether Martin is giving them enough guidance. We know there has been, and will continue to be, divergence in the story lines. The question is, how much.

Lady Stoneheart really put a hurt on the Frey bloodline according to the books. It would be nice to see that bloodline wiped out.

Caitlyn II plays an important role in the books, but she might not be that critical in the overall story. Each season only has 10 episodes, so they have to pick and choose what to include. I guess we’ll see. If she returns, I don’t think it will be season 6.

That Tyrion might become king from the Lannister connections and as legal husband of Queen of the North, uniting the Kingdoms.
Or exits as King of the North with Sansa while Jon Snow and Daenerys marry to bring peace. Jon = ice + Daenerys = fire even meets the title.
And because Daenerys can’t have kids, Sansa rules over winterfell for their lifetime, and as Jon’s closest legal heir, her kids are princes and princesses of the north and the Iron Throne.

Foreign press lies. Bloodraven is the most important character.

You forgot The Mountain.

The Mountain made quite an entrance at the end of last season. I bet we’ll be seeing more of him, too, though!
