I mean she did shoot a demon shadow baby out of her cooter

So I am starting to think the torching of shireen didn't work because she was not of kings blood. That was kind of an eye opening revelation to Mel. Once she realized that she was all....seeya

​Could be.  Maybe she realized that Stannis wasn't the rightful king.  Or maybe she screws up on occassion just like everyone else in this series.

I'd like to think Mel realizes Stannis wasn't the rightful King...and she'll now jump on board Jon's resurrected wagon when it's found out that R+L=J, not to mention all the interest she's had in Jon foreshadowing something more IMO than her trying to seduce him a few episodes ago.

Saw this today, sorry if its already been posted.

There’s been plenty of speculation online. So can you say emphatically that Jon Snow is dead?

I can say emphatically that Jon Snow is definitely dead. I keep hearing that phrase in my head, “Ding dong, the witch is dead.” After what you saw there, I think there’s no more clear picture whether he is dead or not.

 

Any chance he could be resurrected by Melisandre, who returned to Castle Black?

That’s not my concern. My concern was to take care of Jon Snow, and he’s now deader than dead.

So the actor that plays Jon Snow could possibly come back.

A lot of new casting news: (Are we going to be seeing a ToJ flashback? Holy crap) Also, this suggests the BwoB is back and we may be getting Riverlands stories that many thought would be passed over. 

Qhogo and Akrat: They’re seeking mixed ethnicity or other non-white actors for the roles. The successful young warriors need to be tall, confident, with swagger and linguistic bravado. It’s noted that the actors will have to speak in a fictional language. I think it’s safe to say that these are Dothraki.

Bower: He is a powerless servant, numb to the horror he serves. He’s filming around one of the days that below “outlaw band” members are so he may be connected to them. He is required to have a Northern or Midland English accent and appears in one episode.

Lachlan:  He’s the big leader of a group of renegades who have turned on the land that they swore to protect. They’re now extorting the poor and vulnerable.  He appears in 2 episodes in season 6.

Flynn: He’s part of an outlaw band. The group is using religion to justify terrorizing and extorting what they need from the people of the countryside. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6. He appears to be part of Lachlan’s band.

Japeth: Another member of the outlaw band is this lieutenant. He’s a “rough-and-ready type” with a strong physical presence, also appearing two episodes.

Legendary Fighter:  A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a famous sword.  The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles.

Lord of Noble Northern House: (Casting age anywhere between 25-50) The lord is a savage warrior, and he rules a distinguished house in the very far North, and the role is said to be an impactful one. He’s described as a massive bear of a man with a beard and temper to match, and hatred that run deep, and he can be violent. The show’s looking for someone with a powerful physique who can tower over other cast members, a Northern English Accent and specifies he has to be at least 180 cm tall. The role will be on 2 episodes.

Lord of Northern Stronghold: The show’s looking for an actor in his late thirties or forties to play another lord, one that’s ruthless and calculating. The frightening lord rules a vassal household with a castle stronghold. He’ll be in 3 episodes this year, with 20 days of filming this summer and fall.

Hunter: He’s a rough army officer on the hunt appearing in an action scene with main cast, in one episode.

Submissive Maester: The show’s casting a maester in his twenties- a timid young maester. He’s decent but has trouble standing up to others. He appears in one episode in season 6.

Green Recruit: A young man with one line and one day of filming in August.

Sympathiser 1, 2 & 3:  These are rough military types, with a day of filming.

Housemaid:  She’s the motherly nanny (with a tight whip) to a large household.
The show wants an actress between the ages of 45-65 with a Northern English Accent. She’ll be in 2 episodes.

Father: He’s tough and old, an alpha male patriarch. The show is looking for a man with a Northern English Accent. He appears in one episode and has 2 lines.

 

Cian: The specificity of requesting that the actors be residents of Ireland/Northern Ireland would seem to indicate that the majority of their filming may be in Northern Ireland. It also looks as though the North may be getting a strong focus next season, if these parts are anything to go by. In particular, the “Lord of Noble Northern House” sounds like a certain Umber might be being cast. And… I think it’s a pretty safe guess we’ll be seeing Arthur Dayne, too. What do you think?

Just watched the last episode of season 5. Jeez What a fuging cliffhanger. At least we still have Tyrion.

[Bronn]

FYI, Kit Harington (Jon Snow) has been seen in Belfast along with other returning cast members. Season 6 reading/filming is under way. One can only assume that this means that Jon Snow, in some form resembling Kit Harington, will be back.

[Panthro]

I bet the first few episodes are a flash back...that way they can hold off on the jon snow story-line for a few 'sodes

I think it has pretty much been deduced that, at some point, we will be getting a Tower of Joy flashback in season 6. This would reveal certain revelations to non-book readers if they haven't already figured them out.

I can actually see them opening the season with this (Tower of Joy scene,) much like they did with Cersei and Maggi the Frog last season.  They could maybe even flashback for the entire first half of the season opener, and then cut to Jon lying in the snow and moving on from there.

That would give more validity and importance to him returning.

I'm guessing we get a PREVIOUSLY ON GAME OF THRONES sequence before the first episode featuring - Ned and Jon talking, Jon and Benjen talking, Berric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, The Mountain and Qyburn, and Sam saying "Don't worry about Jon, he always comes back"

 

lol

Jon ftw.
