SUMMER is dead.
The wall will FALL.
WINTER is coming.
Did anything else spring to your mind, or is that all?

SPOILER - All Starks have the ability to warg, it is obviously more powerful in some than others.

reply Not all, Sansa has never showed any inclination or ability

However Sansa lost lady very early on, so perhaps still has the ability, but has never had the chance to actually realize it. But yeah, the rest have either been shown to be warging or very clearly hinted at.

Theory/Spoiler:

The second head of the dragon is all but confirmed. Who do you think is the third? Could it be Meera Reed as a twin sister to Jon? She could have been taken from that same scene at the tower of Joy. Dragons are said to be born of blood. Jon Snow and Dany's mothers died while giving birth. So did Tyrion's and Aerys could be the father. Obviously didn't get eaten alive by the dragons. But one thing that I don't get is Tywin wouldn't let a barbie child live under the same roof.

yeah, the first is an interesting thought, while the second is obvious besides what you have said, also the thing with him and the dragons didnt happen in the book yet so could be just a TV furfie

Is it bad that I know what almost every theory is there just by its title? I spend way too much time on /r/asoiaf :P

I hate theories :P

Maybe I hold the early seasons up on an unmatchable pedestal based on pure nostalgia, but this show's really gone down hill over the last two seasons. I don't think the last episode was handled nearly as well as it could have been.

Without my suspension of disbelief I still dont know how Bran is supposed to escape with only a 200-300mtr head start??
Haha, me too.

I think season 5 was pretty poor. Season 4 also wasn't fantastic, but better than 5. This season, however, I've really enjoyed. Although I'm not sure if it's because it actually is really good, or just because now it's going ahead of the books (and, funnily enough, the one thing I've really hated so far this season is the Iron Islands).

Benjen, Howland, or CH. I'd assume Benjen, although would like to see their explanation of how he is in the right place at the right time, so to speak :P
But there is someone in the preview for next weeks ep on horseback with a torch, right behind Meera. And those 2 things (horseback and torch) are why I think it's Benjen.

Ah. Along with fan theories that's the other thing I fervently avoid; previews :P

Benjen is Coldhands? Or is this just in the show

Felt like yesterday's ep was quite bland. Nothing too exciting, but I understand that mid season requires story build up
