1. The Biggest Battle In Thrones History
I'm not going to bore you with the world's worst kept secret EVER after Kit Harington was spotted on set in full Stark armour (eeeek!) but his role could be made clearer following the news of Season 6's 'Episode 9'. The ninth episode of each season (eighth in Season 5) always tends to carry the biggest sucker-punch of each run. Episode 9 has become a milestone episode every year, and Season 6's effort will play host to the biggest battle in Thrones history. It has reportedly been dubbed as the Battle of Six Armies by the production crew and an image has emerged of an army of soldiers made up of Mormont (yes), Hornwood (yes) and Stark (YES!) men on a similar field to the one Kit Harington has been spotted on. There are hints that Rickon and Osha will rejoin the fold, while Sansa has made a dash from Winterfell with Reek. Take a deep breath and piece this all together and you'll reach a conclusion that Episode 9 will contain: Jon STARK, reunited with Sansa, Rickon and a redeemed Theon, leading a coalition of every true Northern house into all-out battle with the Boltons to reclaim Winterfell for House Stark. If that doesn't send a chill down your spine, you have no soul. Game of Thrones Season 6 is a long way away, but with this level of carnage about to go down, there's no way it can disappoint, surely?
