If you come back as a White Walker do you have a recollection of who you were when you were living?

Word, man. That Netflix style has me all impatient right now. Ain't nobody got time to be waiting 10 weeks and ****.
I really dk if I'd appreciate Thrones as much as I do if we were able to binge it like Netflix. Not that I'm taking anything away from the series' I've watched and loved on Netflix, but GoT cliffhangers are apart of the ride of the series.

I love coming in on Mondays and discussing with my coworkers and watching/listening to recaps.
Running through a whole season in two days and not really having anyone to discuss with because everyone is moving at their own pace kinda sucks.

All of this. Imagine S6 came out all in one shot? We'd literally need separate threads for a series this big.

Netflix style has gotten me spoiled lol.
It's convenient to have the entire season release. But at the same time, I like how GOT and other series are week by week.
The discussion, speculation, and rumors that pop up help me understand the episodes a lot deeper.
For sure if Daredevil was week to week, I'd feel impatient too.
I kept re-watching the Hardhome episode all week because of hit ended. THAT SILENCE!

I don't mind having to wait a week for the new episodes. In addition to the other reasons stated, its like having a mini-event to look forward to every Sunday night.

How do we know that though? We know that White Walkers can turn living human babies into more WWs, and not wights. Maybe that power could extend to dead, adult humans?

Maybe corrupting the babies plays a role in the control the sith lords have
Bringing Jon Snow byke this late with those zombie powers could back fire on the Night's King

White Walkers are the icy creatures that resurrect the dead. Wights are zombies who were killed and resurrected by White Walkers (or killed by wights and resurrected by White Walkers). Jon Snow was killed by humans so he can't come back as a wight. On the show, we've already seen a human who was resurrected by another human (Beric from Season 3). Assuming that Jon is resurrected in a similar manner, he'll probably retain a lot of his memory. Although, in the books, Beric loses a bit of his memory every time he's resurrected (I believe he was resurrected 6 times). Also in the books, another character is resurrected and this character retains a lot of memory but is only concerned with getting vengeance. There is the belief that wights retain some memory. That's mostly based on the wight that attacked the Old Bear Lord Commander. Supposedly, in life, that person didn't like Old Bear.

Pod is Ilyn Payne's cousin. Ilyn is the royal executioner, the man who executed Ned using Ice, the Stark Valyrian steel greatsword. I guess anything's possible but I get the feeling Sansa's not going to be too thrilled to be around Pod if and when she realizes who he's related to.

According to the Red priests, Azor Ahai will reborn in salt and smoke. Jon is lying near a burning pyre with smoke blowing in his direction. His blood could represent the salt (or Olly's tears could represent the salt). Davos has probably heard Melisandre going on and on about the Azor legend so he's wondering if this is a sign. That's how I took it.

It seems like they wanted people to see his body. They posted the "traitor" sign up. They wanted him to be on display. And by leaving his corpse there, they probably figured people would either get in line, get out or get dropped. It was a power move. Not the smartest one but a power move nonetheless.

Listening to the Bald podcast and they brought up a dope *** point I forgot about.

Melted down from the same sword that Pod's cousin used to execute Ned.

Wait... So Ned Stark was executed with his own sword?... I thought/assumed it was just a generic sword or Pain's own...

Ned believed in the Old Way, which means that if you sentence somebody to die, you have to carry out the execution yourself. So, being King's Hand, he might have to sentence somebody to die. And if that's the case, he probably traveled to King's Landing with Ice, which he used for executions (most notably in the first episode of GoT when he executed the AWOL Night's Watch brother). When Ned was arrested in King's Landing, the crown took possession of Ice.

Ned stark's sword was so awesome....
It's amazing that only two people have them. Jon and the stud knight protecting his sister.

this theory is decent. Interesting at least.,,
btw for a second there I thought Sansa and Reke were caught. I was like here we go again
