Although a lot of surprises have already been revealed as the "Game of Thrones" Season 6 continues to air weekly, its myriad of rumors, spoilers and speculations are continuously being hinted. Episode 6 of the current season is set to air this coming Sunday, May 29 at HBO. Although speculations that The Hound will return and Rickon will be burned to death by Ramsay, these are still unofficial until episodes 6 and 7 are released.
In the official synopsis of episode 6 titled "Blood of My Blood", it read, "An old foe comes back into the picture. Gilly meets Sam's family. Arya faces a difficult choice. Jaime faces off against the High Sparrow." Though "Game of Thrones" is not hinting at whoever the old foe is, Independent reported that this old foe may be Walder Frey, the man behind the infamous Red Wedding which killed both Robb and Lady Stark.
The same report also speculated that the title of episode 6 has something to do with the Dothraki tribe, as "blood of my blood" is a direct reference to a phrase used by them. It can be recalled in episode 4 that Daenerys burnt all the Dothraki leaders inside the Dosh Khaleen temple and quickly regained her authority in front of the Dothrakis as they kneeled down before her unburnt body.
Meanwhile, episode 7 speculations are also making some rounds lately as the most popular guess regarding the episode titled "The Broken Man" is that it is referring to The Hound. Although iDigital Times is guessing that this could also be Jorah Mormont, many believes that Sandor Clegane (The Hound) will be returning in the episode.
In the official synopsis for episode 7, it read, "The High Sparrow eyes another target. Jaime confronts a hero. Arya makes a plan. The North is reminded." These statements could be hinting at clues for the events that will follow. But how the "North is reminded" may be the most intriguing among them. According to the same report by iDigital Times, it is highly possible the North will again be reminded how vulnerable the Starks are as Ramsay hangs Rickon upside cross and burns him.
