The bannerman in the woods can revive too
Ramsey killing his daddy
Now that you knew for sure last week
Lots of old storylines revived last nite
The Lazarus episode
,
I am always amazed at how fans of the show are “surprised” when a death happens, or in this case a resurrection. Most are so telegraphed in advance that its hardly any surprise.
Frankly when it came to Ramsey killing his father and his wife and half brother, honestly shocked it took him that long to get around to it. And the John Snow resurrection was telegraphed from the moment the Red Witch entered Castle Black. There really was no other reason for her to be there, other than to have a plot device to revive him after his death.
Its not a bad show, but nearly every death is telegraphed well ahead of time. The exact manner and gore on film may be for shock value, but the actual fact a player is going to die is hardly ever shocking.
Since the next book hasn’t been written, I don’t see HBO continuing the north storyline. They are shifting to the Iron Islands and possibly Dorne. They might also show Samwell’s journey to the citadel. There are also some new characters that they could introduce.
