Usually I love crackpot theories, but that's a stretch.  |

Since the flame never lies, he will get to Winterfell, but he might be undead…or, a very slight hope, that Red Priestess will do something. I also don't think that his potential dragon king blood is hinted here… It seems this season we'll have general shifting in power balance. Dorn will attack Lannisters and has a high possibility to win…Undead might get over the wall with its defence weaken and become a problem for Boltons first, the rest of the North later. Horde of Dothrakians might go for seaside cities if not bought off, as it doesn't seems that they'll join Daineris…interesting. |

I thought the first photo looked like The Mountain. The photo of Sansa is hilarious. |

The Wall will stand as long as the Watch stays true. Assassinating your Lord Commander…. Hmmm. Let me check the by-laws to see if that means "staying true". I'm wondering if an unstable 700 foot high Wall is like Checkov's Pistol. You introduce that in the first book or second episode, and somehow you know that it HAS to fall. |

there's this horn somewhere…I'd say this is a true Chechov's gun ;) |

One point in the theory's favor is that meticulous care is taken throughout this series on the small details. Someone had to put the fake blood down and I doubt the direction was done without any care at all. That said it looks more like a bear turned into Nessie than anything else. |

My hunch is that they will try to cremate the body, if he is a descendant something interesting might happen, he wouldn't burn and might even come back to life and the lady is just a red herring … |

It could be that the stain means something. And sometimes a cigar us just a cigar. |

Looks more like the Loch Ness Monster to me. |

It seems to me that the Wall would slowly collapse under its own weight. According to Wikipedia: Ice behaves like a brittle solid until its thickness exceeds about 50 m (160 ft). The pressure on ice deeper than 50 m causes plastic flow. So the weight of the upper wall would cause the lower wall to slowly ooze out to the sides. |

Martin was asked what holds the Wall up. He said "Magic".
Whether he was serious or tongue in cheek, we will see.
Interestingly, both Bran the Builder who raised the Wall and the Night's King are/were Starks.
"There must always be a Stark in Winterfell." For a few seasons, there was not. Sansa… Hmmmmm.
And the Watch was unfaithful to their vows.
And of course there are a few Horns of dubious provenance floating around. Yeah. I think the Wall comes down, and spectacularly. |

Ahh but in episode nine of what season? ;) And does the wall come down and Jon rise up in the same episode? |

Well that was surprising…….okay not really since pretty much everybody seems to have guessed how he would return. Handy having a red witch around to raise a main character from the dead when the plot demands it. |

See, it was just a flesh wound. |
