Yeah, didn't get that either. Why did the other nights watch want to kill them?Why is there a group locked up in a room with Snow's dead body, and his dog? I'm trying to figure the end game there.
not to spoil from the books, but perhaps they are trying to get Jon Snow's head because someone has sent threatening demands requesting itYeah, didn't get that either. Why did the other nights watch want to kill them?
More on that count: I think that Jon's funeral will need to take place so that the watch can announce "and now his watch is ended". With that phrase he is absolved of his vows to the Watch and can be made King of the North, marry, sire children or whatever he needs to do....so no resurrection until after a proper Night's Watch funeral. It will need to occur before the body is burned of course...They are not guarding the body. The body just happens to be present where they're gathered. The wolf is there to help them fight the other Night's Watchmen. The men in the room chose that path by deciding to skip out on the meeting Thorne called and avenge Jon. They were not initially targeted. They're plotting to kill Thorne for assassinating Jon. These were Jon's closest allies, some of whom were present at Hardhome, and they understand that Jon was correct in his dealings with the Wildlings. When they skipped out on the meeting that Thorne had called, that's when they acquired a target on their backs. Davos believes (likely correctly) that Thorne has no intention of allowing them to peacefully remain in the Night's Watch.
As far as Ramsey demanding Jon's head, that's not what is going on. This is just a power struggle in the Watch. My best guess as to what happens is that the Wildlings return at the last second to save Jon's allies and destroy the remaining members of the Night's Watch loyal to Thorne. Tormund will likely kill Thorne. That was foreshadowed with their fight in season four when the Wildlings attacked from the south. This will probably happen in the next episode or episode three. Jon will be resurrected shortly thereafter. I think they manage to stall Jon's resurrection to episode four by skipping Castle Black entirely in either episode two or three. The action at Castle Black will conclude with the battle ending and Jon's fate remaining unresolved.
In the books there is a very prominent Wildling female believed to be a priestess present at Castle Black. It would be very easy to introduce this character this season as part of the group that Jon saved at Hardhome. In fact, a lot of book readers thought that was the character Birgitte Hjort Sørensen would be playing last season. The idea of her bringing Jon back in service to the "Old Gods" instead of Melisandre resurrecting him has been a very popular fan theory for years. Either that or they just go the more predictable Melisandre route, but there better be a decent explanation as to why she didn't attempt to bring him back when she inspected his body last night.
Roose Bolton would want it, he sent a man to infiltrate the Black before.All of Snow's enemies are at castle black. Cant imagine who would want his head unless it's the white walkers.
The red woman done been there and didn't offer to bring him back although its not too late.
yeah they certainly nipped that right in the budI'm very glad the show has avoided the whole Young Grif angle.
That's because Davos wants to protect jons body from being burned by Thorne. The other nights watch in the room with him were Jon snow friends and supporters. I suspect there will be a fight next weekWhy is there a group locked up in a room with Snow's dead body, and his dog? I'm trying to figure the end game there.
I say next seasonHow many seasons will we need to wait for the CleganeBowl?
Zombie Mountain vs. The "broken but reinvigorated at the thought of being able to kill his brother" Hound is boner inducing.
I just can't wait for the tower of joy scene.

I still LOL at the thoughts of some horndogs who immediately whipped it out at the beginning of that scene & started whacking their weasels......talk about a harsh bring downFire bush goes fromto
in about 10 seconds.
Why does everyone want Cleganebowl?Why is no one satisfied that Sandor's journey is over once he finds peace and becomes the Gravedigger? It seems to me that his arc is complete and his story is finished. He let go of his hatred and "the Hound" is dead.
Shit I mean yeah....who really wants to see an epic battle between arguably the two greatest warriors in Westeros who happen to be brothers who hate each other, one of whom is a zombie leviathan murder machine?
Lame, IMO
It's setting up perfectly for it actually.Fanboy service.
Will be surprised if it happens in either the books or show. (Especially the show).
It would take a ton of exposition to get from the Quiet Isle to Kings Landing. (Not that this would stop GRRM, but still, what's the point).
Which I have to believe is bullshit. No way they had the technology to shave so close.Looked pretty shaved to me.
Uh, if you want it to end, stop watching. Pretty simple.I thought THIS was the last season.
Jesus... Much like SOA, I'm ready for this to wrap. Even if it means The blonde chick rides a Harley straight into a dragon, at speed.
Really? It's just getting awesome. But whatever floats your boat.I thought THIS was the last season.

Yeah, this is the best drama on TV imo. Reading through some of these posts though makes me glad I don't read the books.
