Oh, and Bran turns into a tree.
Geez, I just get done praising the quality of this thread when the quality goes way down.
Darn, and I had to go and report a certain member......

Finally watched the finale. Talk about squeezing 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag. Everything was way too rushed. It's like they realized "Shit, we have 6 major things to do and we only have 1 episode left!! Let's cram em all in!!!"
I wasn't impressed with any of the story lines or how they were fleshed out. I'm definitely going to re-read the book now to get myself more pissed off about it.
that nuclear bomb gif is the worst gif in the entire world.
i cringe every time i see it.
Because of what it is? Or because it contains like 5 frames over 3 secs?
The silence went on and on, so long that she began to grow afraid once more, but she was afraid for him now, not for herself. She found his massive shoulder with her hand. "He was no true knight," she whispered to him.
The Hound threw back his head and roared. Sansa stumbled back, away from him, but he caught her arm. "No," he growled at her, "no, little bird, he was no true knight."...
But as Gregor lifted his sword for the killing blow, a rasping voice warned, "Leave him be," and a steel-clad hand wrenched him away from the boy.
The Mountain pivoted in wordless fury, swinging his longsword in a killing arc with all his massive strength behind it, but the Hound caught the blow and turned it, and for what seemed an eternity the two brothers stood hammering at each other as a dazed Loras Tyrell was helped to safety. Thrice Ned saw Ser Gregor aim savage blows at the hounds-head helmet, yet not once did Sandor send a cut at his brother's unprotected face...
~snip~
"Is the Hound the champion now?" Sansa asked Ned.
"No," he told her. "There will be one final joust, between the Hound and the Knight of Flowers."
But Sansa had the right of it after all. A few moments later Ser Loras Tyrell walked back onto the field in a simple linen doublet and said to Sandor Clegane, "I owe you my life. The day is yours, ser."
"I am no ser," the Hound replied, but he took the victory, and the champion's purse, and, for perhaps the first time in his life, the love of the commons.

I still suspect Syrio Forel will show up again eventually, he was her dancing master and I suspect he was a Faceless Man to begin with some what, being from Bravos and all.
It's fulfilled when he dies, so if Melisandre gives him the Berric Dondarrion treatment he would arise a free man and would then be able to go south and play a part in the action down that way.
In that hypothetical situation I doubt he would go to the south because the Others are still a great threat and even though he'd theoretically not be bound by the Oath of the NW anymore it's hard to think that'd he'd just forget about the threat of the Others.
....
Tormund trusted him. Perhaps Tormund would be wary of a revived Jon Snow but if that doesn't freak out the Wildlings they'd probably still be game to keep the Others from getting to the other side of the wall... especially after seeing what happened at Hardhome.
I mean let's check out the options here... yeah Jon Snow is a bit dense at times... hence his stabbing...
But I just have to ask do you really think he'd be forget the wall get to the South pull some shenanigans and perhaps if he survived them... end up looking at a host of Others and their undead army that is not just comprised of the zombies from Hardhome but from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms North of Kings landing (that they conquered on their own way South) and be saying... "Shit... maybe I should've rallied the Wildlings at the Wall to fight the Others instead of thinking their army wouldn't have gotten massively larger... Ygritte was right I know fucking Nothing."
I mean damn if he is revived and says "Screw it all I'm going South" he's dumber than Hodor.
....
And I suspect Jon Snow will be alive too. Very convenient to have a priestess of a god that raises the dead show up right before he gets shish-kebob-ed. Also convenient is that his oath to the Nights Watch is for life. It's fulfilled when he dies, so if Melisandre gives him the Berric Dondarrion treatment he would arise a free man and would then be able to go south and play a part in the action down that way.
I think the Wildlings would still fight with him to protect the South from the Wall. He knows that regardless of the fact that he can't trust the NW anymore to fight with him that if the Others get past the wall that's pretty much an extinction level event for the living.
And unless Bran speaks through him through the Weirwood network he'd have no idea the CotF are working against the Others.
Given the above I don't see him traveling South when the Others aren't taken care of... if ever.
Every Stark who went South since the Rebellion of Robert Baratheon has ended up in dire straights or even dead.
....
It's like talking to a weirwood tree. HE CAN"T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE OTHERS NOW. The Wildlings don't want to fight, they want to escape, Jon can't unite them and their numbers were decimated by the massacre at HardHome. Forget the wildlings, they're not going to be the key.
But, if Melisandre points Jon south...
He meets Sansa
He uses Sansa to unite the north.
The north retake Winterfell.
Suddenly he's got an army.
He goes in search of Bran because Sansa knows Bran is alive.
Bran uses his growing powers to communicate with Jon, maybe teaches him the finer points of warg-ing.
The re-united Northern armies join with the COTF and together they're strong enough to think about maybe standing up to the Others.
That works. It might not be what happens, but it's plausible and it fits the existing storyline. Your idea doesn't work. It's not even close to plausible. Jon can't do jack-shit about the others without an army and he can't find one by going north now. He'd have to go south first, then and only then could he amass the kind of power that would allow him to think about going north again.
Melissandre can't resurrect Jon as far as we know. I the show thread there's all sorts of speculation about it because they're missing the context, but in the books there's an early Melissandre chapter where she says she cannot do what Thoros does, the Lord of Light has not blessed her with that ability.
Given that the books do a much better job of portraying that the return of magic coincides with the return of dragons and the manifestation of magic is still fickle (Melissandre, Thoros, Moqorro and the red priest in Volantis all have different abilities that none of the others can replicate) to me it's safe to say that Melissandre will be reviving nobody.
If I were to really speculate long term for him I'd say that since Targarians (sp?) tend to marry brother and sister...
Everything just seems to dovetail too nicely. Jons lineage is pretty obvious at this point and his dying will make it more obvious. The wildlings burn bodies, he should be immune to fire and we have a fire priestess right there. Mother of dragons moment part two, viola.
