Did the mercenaries that deserted Stannis get turned by Ramsay when he did his 20 man commando raid? I can't think of any other reason why the Bolton's army was so big.

"Body Double: That CG face was very distracting. It was such an important scene and the fact that it wasn’t really Lena Headey took away from it. "
Where is it coming from that Lena Headey is difficult to work with? Walking butt-naked through a throng of people is a challenge for any actress.
Kevan Lannister was back in King's Landing when she walked into the Red Keep. But I think Qyburn is the only person she trusts now.
why use body double in the first place?
the scene wasnt dangerous to say the least
the scene wasnt dangerous to say the least
I convinced Melisandre is based on a Haitian woman. Bomb pussy and some devilish magic got stannis head all fucked up.
Stannis is not the first (or last) dude to lose his head over the pussy.

I kinda disagree with these 2 things in red.
Here’s why….
1. The Dorne storyline was pretty significant because it moves Jaime’s storyline forward… and also sets up a ‘potential war’ between the Martells & the Lannisters next season.
It also sets up another potential ‘civil war’ inside of House Dorne. (between the Ellaria & the Sand Snakes vs. Prince Doran
)Shit is gonna 'hit the fan'.
And SOMEONE is gonna face ‘the business end’ of Areo Hotah’s BIG ASS AXE, next season.
(Quite. Possibly. Several. People.
)Plus another great side-story was…. BRONN & TYENE.
Where will that shit lead next season?
Just saying.But also.... Born was promised ‘a better wife’ and ‘a better castle’ for making the trip.
Will Jaime still make good on that promise?
And if he doesn’t… how will Bronn respond?
Because right now…. Bronn is assed-out.
He left his bride & his ‘future inheritance’ to help Jaime out…. and Bronn is not the type of guy to just let that shit slide.
We've all seen... that man is 'about his PAPER'.
But MOST importantly, the SINGLE BIGGEST SECRET of Jaime’s entire life was finally revealed to his daughter…. and he wasn’t ‘shunned’ for it.
Which is what he always FEARED MOST.He lived his entire (adult) life not being able to ‘be a father’ to his very own children…. and the moment he can finally START to even do so…. it gets fatally snatched away from him.
And this marks the SECOND TIME that one of Jaime’s kids has literally ‘died in his arms’.
Now he has to return to King’s Landing.... and deliver THAT news to Cersei.
(After ALL the mayhem she just lived through.
)Obviously, there will be ‘hell to pay’….. and this whole trip (and the upcoming aftermath) will most likely change Jaime, somehow. For better, or worse.
Not sure how, tho.
—————————————————
2. Sansa escapes with Theon. That was HUGE, imo.
Because Sansa is the biggest ‘bargaining chip’ there IS…. in the North, right now.
And EVERYBODY who wants to RULE the North…. somehow NEEDS SANSA to do so.
So without Sansa to ‘cosign’ them… NONE of those remaining players left around will be able to successfully control the entire North... without inciting a ‘rebellion’ of some kind.
Because all the disgruntled Northern Lords will ALWAYS remain loyal to the Stark family.
Now without a ‘Stark heir’ to legitimize them, how long can the Boltons run shit without the support of Tywin Lannister?
(Roose Bolton didn't seem to think it would last very long without Sansa's involvement.)So it opens up a possible conflicts between any Northern characters that we haven’t seen yet - like Howland Reed
(i.e. Meera & Jojen Reed’s father)Furthermore, without Sansa around, how will it affect Littlefinger’s plans?
Because he was set to wipe out WHOEVER survived the war between Roose Bolton & Stannis Baratheon.
And made a promise to Cersei that he would deliver Sansa to her.
So Sansa’s escape drastically CHANGES all of that.
We might see Baelish in FULL 'damage control / panic mode', if all his plans start to 'unravel' next season.
Especially since Sansa is a MAJOR part of his (long-term) plans.
Sansa's escape will throw a 'monkey wrench' into somebody's gameplan.
The question is just... whose 'throne game' will it affect MORE?
If they cannot meet up with Lady Brienne, I think Sansa and Theon might head for the Iron Islands.
(Which also sets up the eventual return of Yara & the Greyjoys.
)Every year, the show introduces new ‘players’… so Sansa’s storyline is most likely the main catalyst to bring us several new characters, events & major plotlines that NOBODY will know any 'spoilers' about (in advance), imo.
Just my opinion.

You have to remember that she was implecated in Renly's death. Her explanation was that a Ghost with the face of Stannis killed Renly. No one believes that shit so in essence, she's stil as banished as before whether she kills him or not.
Getting Stannis to confess to dark magic would co-sign her story, especially after word travels about how Stannis sacrificed his daughter in front of his Army. MOreso, I think Stannis is due an appropriate death for his heinous decisions in the form of a public execution, probaly by the wildlings that have taken up the Gift, south of the wall. The 7 needs to see what will to someone who goes as far as killing his brother and burning his daughter for the thrown.
I think Jon will come back as some sort of Zombie. Apparently, the King White Walker is a Stark that went into the forest chasing some ass from a strange chick.
I think in order to combat the white walkers eternally (cold/ice), they need someone to who will commit to fighting eternally. I think the Red Witch (fire) will resurrect Jon as some immortal fire person with the power to fight the King White Walker (who may be his kin, by the way).
This will allow Jon to fulfill his oath of protecting the realm forever. It will be an eternal battle (fire against cold). I say this because I dont necessarily believe the valerian sword was the reason Jon killed the White Walker luietenant, I think Jon is the chosen one and cant be killed by cold in the same manner Dany cant be hurt by fire, which is why the King White Walker wanted to get a face-to-face of the person he's going to have to figure out how to kill.
To me, the White Walker "come-at-nigga" moment at Hardhomme wasnt a show of strength, it was a dude who realized, his peer was here but didnt recognize his power and, by showing off the strength of his army, he hoped he could scare Jon and the Nights watch to run as far away as they could.
I think the White Walkers are going to storm the wall, slaughter everyone and Jon will bring them back to life as (fire men) and then there will be an epic battle of fire and ice. And JOn can fight buddy foreover while keeping his oath.
It also sets up another potential ‘civil war’ inside of House Dorne. (between the Ellaria & the Sand Snakes vs. Prince Doran
Shit is gonna 'hit the fan'.
Prince Doran should have gutted that bitch right there. He should have known that there was no way she would let shit go.
Now he's looking at a potential civil war within his own country and a war with the Lannisters.
Jon Snow is coming back as a white walker and will bring down the fucking wall, and kill that lil kid and the rest of them crow bitch's, only to be killed by fat sam, of the bitch. 
You would think the people that was with Jon would of told them "Hey,I know you don't like the wildling,but we need them for our fight against the White Walkers and wights"."It's better for them to be our side temporarily than to fight them dead and turn us into one of them"..
I'm going to assume they did say something similar to that,but I guess the other watchmen don't care...all they care about is that dayum oath....This is one of the time,they should say fuck the oath and start preparing for the white walkers and wights.
It's not like the Night's Watchmen didn't know the White Walkers was coming..everybody knew,but they don't care..On top of that,they had wights in their own backyard from the first season and they still stabbed Jon...
It was said all the way back in the first season that the Night's watchmen didn't have the same amount of men from decades or centuries before....

A lot of it was just a power move by Alliser Thorne. He's always hated Jon and the Wildlings. When Jon beheaded Janos Slynt, Alliser saw that he meant business.
Jon should of killed him,immediately...but I guess,he needed him for his fighting skill...

well saidThis is the most interesting theory I've heard yet on Jon Snow. It kinda fits with where I see it going but definitely adds an angle I hadnt considered.
A HUGE pile of snow broke their fall. You can see it when they first look down.
Would you rather they do it for the vine?
Lol
This felt good tho.
Sent from my Galaxy S6
Why didnt anyone point out that this was the little sister from the Chronicles of Narnia.
Cool theory...
I also believe the time of the Nights Watch is near an end. Jon Snow (or Jon Stark if Brienne kept Stannis alive) will be the one to restart it afterward. I'm betting a resurrected Jon will say "fuck the watch" and go south with the Wildlings to take back Winterfell.
Once Winterfell is retaken, and the watch is destroyed. I can see him getting word to Dany and Tyrion. Tyrion had a healthy respect for Jon before he left so he knows he is legit. He will say need dragons or Westeros is lost...and thats when Dany comes over after advise from Tyrion.
Is this the end? GRRM has me singing like New Edition after this season finale of Game of Thrones. This story turns cliches and common themes upside down over and over again... as per usual my stretched out observations from Season 5 Episode 10 "Mothers Mercy"

- Boltons rolled up on Stannis with Alexander the Great's Macedonian phalanx
- When Robert Baratheon is your older brother you're not easy to kill, Stannis saw tougher competition for last piece of venison

- Ramsay is built for the Special Forces; he has no business in the royal court or politics: Semper Flay
- Myranda is nutso... I know the sex is phenomenal
- Return of the GreyJoy with Reek as Vader.... Sansa climbed one flight of stairs but Myranda fell 10 stories?
- Theon and Sansa hold hands and set a new definition of "Jump Off" while starting Winterfell BASE jumping
- Meryn Trant uses the Texas independent school district method of disciplining poor grades

- "Does he always talk so much" "can you hunt, track or ride...so mainly you talk?" - Daario; doesn't like Tyrion
- "If I ever kill you...your eyes will be wide open" - Jorah
- WTF Missendrei (the help) gets to speak?
- Next season will be the Daario brother’s journey to rescue the Queen on Super Ninetendo
- Varys is the KGB, CIA, MI-6 of this world

- FrankenMountain is ready for orders and maximum destruction, bad news for the people of flea bottom
- Mellisandre returns to castle black, she misinterpreted her visions, Jon is Ne-Yo and Shireen is the girl on fire from District 12
- Not many ravens seen or sent this season... unemployment always high for blacks (even birds)
- Oldest trick in the book, your uncle Benjen is outside Jon
- Allister Thorne is Cicero and Ollie is Brutus.... Cheap ending but the Nights Watchmen are criminals
- For the watch ....all reformers are hated, and usually murdered. Traditions die harder than men on Viagra and red bulls
- Guns don't kill people George RR Martin does, 6 characters die in one episode.
- Where’s Ghost? What’s the point of having a Dire wolf if he's not around when things get "dire?"
- Jon Snow got stabbed more times than 2pac got shot, he may survive

Exactly, as it were, as a member of the Nights Watch, Jon could not fight the Boltons and avenge the Starks. Since he's (and I hope alive ) free of those back-stabbers, he now is free to lead alongside Tormund the free folk to overtake the wall and march on Winterfell.
Just my theory.
