Game Of Thones: 10 Ways The Season 5 Finale Sets Up Season 6

Say it ain't Snow?!

Game of Thrones is over for another year, wrapping up a bloodthirsty season that was packed with controversy, treachery, and of course the death of a fan favourite, 'no way is he going to die' character. George R.R. Martin is writing himself into becoming one of pop culture's most notorious serial-killers, fearlessly bumping characters off despite their worldwide appeal. Not even Jon Snow could escape his wrath, but question marks remain over the permanence of his lifeless state, sparking fans to already speculate over what may be in store for Season 6. The Season 5 ending felt almost like a mid-season finale, with almost every character in a perilous situation or on the move to a new destination. It was a very good episode, but the amount of movement is unsettling, with no real idea of where Season 6 could go, given the show's nature of twisting and turning unexpectedly. Book readers are also in the dark, with the majority of written events working their way into the show already. With Martin slowing down the pace, Season 6 could debut with everyone on a roughly level playing field. So here are 10 ways the Season 5 finale could set up Season 6, with NO spoilers from the books.
