Concerning the Dirty Dozen mission north of the Wall...
Jon Snow obviously survives.
The Hound survives.
I think Jorah Mormont survives. I don't think he returns to be killed off so soon.
I think Gendry survives.
Tormund Giantsbane...50/50.
I think Ser Beric Dondarrion finally finds peace. He has served his purpose to the Lord of Light. It would be cool to have a scene where he is mortally wounded and Thoros attempts to bring him back, but to no avail.
Thoros of Myr...50/50.
And the random Wildlings accompanying them are dead.
Is Sam headed north? If so, he still has Heartsbane, the Tarly's ancestral sword of Valyrian steel. We all know Sam isn't a fighter. Although Longclaw was given to him freely, would be cool to see Jon give Longclaw to Jorah Mormont and to have Jon wield Heartsbane with Sam's blessing.
Two episodes left in the season, and the penultimate episode has been the big "battle" episode in seasons past...this next episode seems to be action packed, but on a smaller scale.
Would like to see Benjen Stark return to help them escape the dead...after all, Jon's been wondering about his uncle since season 1.
