Three months before the opening of Game of Thrones' Season 6, rumors and spoiles are hinting that plotlines left hanging at the end of season 5 will be resolved. The murdered Jon Snow will be resurrected, the evil Ramsay Bolton gets his just desserts, and the boy Bran metamorphs into a master of magic
Movie News Guide speculates that Jon Snow (Kit Carrington), who was left last season dying in a pool of blood after being betrayed by his Night Watch brothers, will rise again like a phoenix from the ashes. The witch Melisandre, who left Stannis Baratheon to die in the assault on Winterfell and instead returned to the Wall, just might have a hand in it. The priests and priestesses of the Red God can apparently bring dead people back to life.
But what is intriguing in this report is that Jon Snow, the bastard son of Ned Stark, will realize that he is indeed a Stark. Fans have long speculated that Jon Snow's real father is Rhaegar Targaryen and his mother Lyanna Stark.
And it seems like Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) might clear that mystery once and for all. Wright says in a report filed by Design and Trend that his character, who was absent from the screen during season 5, is now all grown up - and has become a master at magic. He can see past, present, and future, an ability that might let him (and the audience) see Jon Snow's true origins. But beyond his screen brother's calling, Wright is enthused that Bran will have a 'crucial part' to play in the upcoming Great War.
The evil Ramsay Bolton may be gone by then. Spoilers from Movie News Guide tease that fans who had been present in the shooting last year had seen the re-enactment of a huge battle, with Bolton ending up hanging on a tree.
The speculation goes on. What is certain, though, and beyond dispute is one that brings great disappointment to many fans is that Games of Thrones author G.R.R. Martin will not finish 'Winds of Winter' in 2016. This latest addition to his "Songs of Fire and Ice Series' on which the TV series is based is far from completion, which Martin himself admitted to TV.com. That means the storyline will play itself out in the TV series first before Martin's version of it comes out in print.
