the guy with one sword i think is Dayne, the dual wielder has to be one of his kingsguard brothers imo.

Preston takes a lot of leaps, but Beric even tells us that he loses a piece of himself each time, and Thoros tells us that the longer they are dead, the harder it is to bring them back and i assume the more fucked up they are. however, i think stoneheart does have some of Cat in there, she reacting exactly how Cat would react imo.

I don't think the Red God rules will apply to Jon's resurrection. I'm betting on the Old God's mojo. Who knows how that'll work?

I'm in this camp as well. Jon has never embraced anything but the Old Gods.

Its more GoT theme to have the Old Gods intervention than the Lord of Light. Lord of Light is too predictable. That would be REALLY shitty writing on the TV show if it ends up being 100% lord of Light bullshit.

And I do mean real shit writing, like terrible, cringe inducing, searching the beach for a shark to jump type of writing. Even for the books, it would be atrocious writing.

The neglected, forsaken, Old Gods end up doing fuckall for anyone in this series and its all about the Lord of Light they have been shoving down your throats? Please. Theres just no fucking way both D&D and GRRM both write it that way. Maybe I could see D&D, but not both.

If you think its going to be just the Lord of Light's sole work of mercy, please expound. I'm very interested.

I am agreeing with you about Jon's resurrection. I haven't put a lot of thought into it, but I also agree with you about your thoughts on Preston's re-animation theories. Now, we may find that the Red God resurrection comes with a catch. Like, maybe they are resurrected for/with a purpose. So while some segment of their consciousness returns, they may not have 100% free will.

The Kingsguard will not fold up like Olly's child mind when he was asked to betray Jon.

Olly is a goner if he doesn't stab Thorne in the back in an act of redemption. Here's to hoping he doesn't do just that and ends up dead anyway.

I've always thought there was an ass-kicking coming for the NW who sided with Marsh/Thorne. Maybe this is how D&D will handle that. I don't think there's good reason why Olly should be spared, but I can give you a couple possibilities:

#1, Davos is not a butcher. If Thorne's NW cabal lay down their swords, Davos will figure out some other way.

#2, Suppose Jon did warg into Ghost. Its possible Ghost will spare Olly.

I could settle for either of these two options, provided Thorne goes down. Ghost takes out Thorne, I think. #teamGhost

P.s., I think Bran will pay Jon a visit along the lines 3 eyed crow visited him when he was in a coma. Its an Old Gods thing.

Hoping for several Thorne scenes post-Jon death before he dies (if). Wouldn't mind if Jon is dead 90% of the season and Thorne has to manage the NW affairs and politics for a bit. Actually that's the most interesting aspect of this plot turn. If this is the case, imo, Davos will not kill Thorne right away. We will get to see Davos reaction, and how the disagreement with Thorne evolves with Davos and the new Kingsguard I feel we may get 1 or 2 episodes at the Wall with the NW post-Jon before action is taken.

If they give Thorne only 1 additional scene prior to dying I'd be disappointed. I want to see him and the NW immediately post-Jon and what Thorne says to his men, how he sold it, how he is selling it, and how the NW is feeling after the fact.

Its easy to go along with something in a big group and commit the act together, the aftermath not so easy. Some Thorne and Davos scenes would be most welcome.
