I hate spoilers as much as the next guy but we all knew the show was going to spoil the latter 2/7ths of the series

Someone remind me how all of this went down in the book. The way I'm remember it is that Stannis' army was totally buried in snow and possibly dead, then we cut to a chapter where they are sieging winterfell and Theon escapes with Jeyne Poole and we never really found out how they got out of it but it wasn't Melisandre because she was back at the wall and it definitely wasn't Shireen because she was all the way back at Dragonstone or wherever the fuck she was with her mother and didn't even make it to the wall? Am I way off on this? It's been like 5 years.

This. I imagine when the show ends, long before(as in never) the books are finished, there will be many more book spoilers revealed.

Nah, in the books Shireen and Selyse are chilling at Castle Black with Melisandre and Jon Snow.

So since it's confirmed to happen in the books now, can we just assume that Mel burns Shireen to bring back Jon? In the book Stannis will be killed by a Bolton and in the show, maybe Brienne. Either way none of this goes his way. I believe Winterfell will be won from the Boltons but I don't think Stannis makes it through the battle.

Something like this is my guess, unless GRRM is planning to have Drogon eat Stannis right near the end.

I've always assumed Sansa was on borrowed time since Lady was killed. Every passing season I feel like an idiot for thinking that, but I'm waiting..

That would be quite a big change. How would Jon be rezzed in the show then? Also Stannis burning Shireen for his campaign makes sense for his character (much as Mannis fans will be butthurt by that fact).

It is left kind of ambiguous. You have Stannis bogged down in the snow a few miles from Winterfell; Theon shows up after his escape and talks to him and his sister. Jon Snow learns of the Karstarks treachery and sends the banker to Stannis to tell him. Then the letter from Ransay shows up saying that Stannis attacked and was crushed, sending Jon into making the decisions that get him knifed.

I'd be surprised if Stannis just dies in battle at Winterfell. GRRM has a perverse sense of proportionality and after giving up so much for his fundamentalist religion, GRRM must have something much more pedantic in mind for Stannis.
I'm thinking Davos or Selyse finishes Stannis off after his mercenaries desert him or something really horrid.

My guess is that they won't actually kill Jon in the show. Or maybe we'll get the same cliffhanger, and then it will be whether WoW or the next season comes out first.
