Decent episode, a bit on the slow side but I reckon it's heading to some big events next episode.

I think Osha and Rickon will survive, they aren't big enough characters to bring back just to kill them and Rickon gives Jon an objective to work towards.

Rickon
I hope he and Osha survive.

[Niamh.]

I really enjoyed that episode, glad my two favourite characters Arya and Jon finally seem to be moving in a forward direction again

[Niamh.]

Oh also

Book Spoiler(not many of those left) :

Spoiler:

The whole Rickon story has changed a bit hasn't it? I'm trying to remember but in the book didn't Davos set off to find him on some Island where he was last seen, in an attempt to reinstate him as Lord of Winterfell?

There isn't a chance he'll survive imo, why would Ramsay let a male stark live? They'd have a stronger claim than he would, he'll kill them both and Jons object will be taking winterfell

I read this theory a minute ago....could just be clutching at straws by these people though

I'll spoiler it just incase anyone doesn't like reading theories

Spoiler:

Yes, Ramsay Bolton is now Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, which means the northern houses are technically obligated to swear fealty to him. But Ramsay only holds that title because his father betrayed Robb Stark. The Starks have ruled over Winterfell and the North for centuries, and their bannermen have a deep-rooted history of fierce loyalty to the name Stark.
Smalljon's decision not only to side with the Boltons (instead of joining with other houses to rebel) but give him Rickon Stark feels like an enormous betrayal of his family's past choices. Smalljon's reason given for the betrayal was Jon Snow's choice to let the wildlings through the wall, but that feels like a thin argument. At least, based on the Smalljon we know in the books. Clearly the showrunners have made a major change to his character.

This new Stark plotline also brings up issues similar to the showrunner's decision to marry Sansa to Ramsay. Both are events not present in the books, and both choices serve to give the sadistic Ramsay Bolton a leg-up while the Starks come out worse for wear.

Rickon's fate in the books is a complete mystery. Bran didn't send him to the Umbers, but instead went off to an unknown location with Osha. Hints were given in the last book that he was on an island called Skagos.

So the theories :

"I bet they will make it a double agent thing in the end, because Umber turning to the Boltons instead of Starks does not make ANY sense," Redditor Mortress_ wrote in a discussion thread.

The death of Shaggydog (whose bloody head was placed on a table for Ramsay to see is a contentious point here. Could Smalljon have actually found another wolf that big?

"I still suspect that the Umber's delivery of Rickon is a ploy, and they'll be the new [conspiracy]," another person chimed in. "That might not be Shaggydog. No, I'm not in denial."

"I think Ramsay is being set up for a massive '**** you' by the Umbers," a third Redditor said. "Roose has been constantly telling him that the Starks are loved in the north and they are just feared by them ... It makes no sense bring Rickon back just for him to die. That to me, seems like awful writing."

I'm guessing that there's going to be a reason to keep Rickon around, if the North rejects Ramsey he could use Rickon as a proxy and rule through him more likely is that he'll keep him as a hostage to have leverage over Jon.

He'll probably use him to get Jon I reckon, couldn't see him being happy ruling behind a proxy tbh, he wants to be recognised himself as Lord too much

Spoiler:

In the books, Osha, Rickon and Shaggydog went to Skagos. They never encountered the Umbers that we know of because them heading to Skagos is the last we hear of them I think

[Niamh.]

oh also, I read someone guessing that

Spoiler:

In the trial by combat for Cersei that The Hound may reappear as the faiths fighter against his Zombie brother...seems pretty likely too I reckon

[Smithy]

Episode 6 and 7 titles have been revealed

Episode 6 : Blood of my Blood
Episode 7 : The Broken man

I'm guessing Ep 6 is

Spoiler:

Not too sure about 7 possibly

Spoiler:

Thoughts of Episode 6

Spoiler:

I think the Dothraki plotline will mostly end before then, it sounds more like she'll come into contact with someone from Drogo's Khalasar or she'll get her hands on her own....blood soldier Dothraki people whose names I can't remember.

Episode 7

Spoiler:

It's going to be about Blackfish, I think.

Spoiler:

Well, Ep 4 will be the Khals decisions, Ep 5 could be her arguing it, Ep 6 her finally taking control with drogon, I don't think it's too much of a reach tbh
