So anyone think that we'll have a rescue by Brienne and then a series of adventures on the road with Brienne, Sansa and Pod?

That would be great!

Now that Brienne knows where/who Sansa is I'm a little anxious she'll get killed.

Stannis is also heading for Winterfell, right?

Yes, he is planning on conquering the North.

Since they're deviating from the books I am hoping for a fist-pumping moment of Brienne killing Ramsay.

Yes!

Although, surely Theon will figure in there somehow.

Also: Penny Dreadful won BAFTAs for original music, production design and make-up and hair.

YESSSSS. All of them deserved. And the show deserved MOAR awards, dammit.

Okay: the smallfolk, Theon, Sansa, Brienne and Pod - escape/rescue and then: Underground Northern Resistance ensues.

I'm very worried about Brienne's pledge of vengeance and her probable proximity to Stannis. I very much do not want her to die.

No, no: Northern Resistance! The North Remembers! Queen of the North!

That is SO the end game I want from both the show and the books, though since GRRM never gives me what I want, I don't expect it.

But in my headcanon, all hail The Queen in the North!
