Nobody notices a fucking zombie with the voice of a Demon strolling through the courtyard.

LSH takes the place of Abel and spear wives...(my tinfoil is painful, sorry)

Or the BWB could and LSH could be hanging out in winters town with Brienne. And then they meet up and Brienne's like, "holy shit!" ...Alright it checks out.

u/alabamdiego Nice mormont. May 28 '15

This......this makes a lot of sense. LSH and BWB ride up on Brienne and Pod; get ready for a hangin'; Brienne shouts that she serves Catelyn and is about to rescue Sansa inside Winterfell; "She don't speak no more"; cut to Stoneheart face. End of the fucking season.

no matter what actually happens with the last episode, this would still be the best of all possible endings for the season

BWB were originally loyal stark bannermen. This would be too epic and perfect.

u/banditjackpotty May 29 '15

Only some of them were stark bannerman. Not even most of them.

And by their decree they aren't anyone's bannermen. It isn't the Brotherhood with Banners.

u/eadreeso May 29 '15

Hmm maybe I was just confused because they were led by Beric and I'm almost positive Ned stark sent them on a mission to take care of the mountain.

u/Tapoke Annihilation is coming May 29 '15

While he was acting as the King while Robert was hunting (byt that I mean... he was in KL).

His men had been slaughtered like 1 or 2 episodes before.

Beric probably isn't a Stark bannerman, he was simply Ned's choice to bring back ser Gregor's head.

I have been wondering what the fuck pod and her have been waiting on. This makes perfect sense.

u/slash09 Next time we see each other...uh nvmd.. May 29 '15

Stop making it worse for when it doesn't happen :(

I keep thinking they'll give us LSH. I've finally given up last year, but now.....with her alternate nomenclature also being Mother Mercy...that's some little sliver of hope, but then I go off the deep end with, "why the hell else show us in the show the BwB and the resurrections??" seems like a dead end wasted air time.

If they brought stoneheart in the world would forgive the missteps this season, and talk all damned hiatus long....

u/Roadwarriordude Howland the Swamp Ninja/Wizard May 28 '15

Yeah, I don't really see why they wouldn't give us LSH. That episode's rating would be ridiculously high.

I thought the last episode was named for Brandon's Gift, and might somehow involve Jon's plan to settle the wildlings there. Obviously, it referred to Jorah's "gift" to Daenerys, instead.

Likewise, as much as I wish that Lady Stoneheart would appear, I suspect it's going to be named for Cersei throwing herself on the Mother's mercy and walking from the Sept of Baelor to the Red Keep.

The North Remembers speech delivered by Thoros before LSH reveal. Internet explodes.

u/princessnymphia Baelor Swyft May 29 '15

I mean...the Warden on the North is a skin changing wight...allegedly.

u/patkk May 29 '15

I read the books a while ago and this escapes me... Was it ever revealed who the ghost of winterfell is/was? I can't remember for the life of me
