Arya wearing the face of Cat would be a pretty neat version of Stoneheart if she went on a rampage on the Freys.
But what's stopping the Boltons from revealing that Littlefinger set up the marriage in the first place once they get a hint of the Vale trying to interfere against their wishes? I get the idea that Littlefinger's making both the Boltons and Lannisters think he's on their side, but it seems like this plan could fall through with a single letter. Why not just lie and say the Boltons are going to declare independence, or just say they have Sansa when they really don't? And speaking of Sansa, is she really just a mere pawn in Littlefinger's plans? That's her sole importance to Baelish? She is easily one of the most important people in Westeros in terms of securing the North, yet Littlefinger completely abandons her. She could have been killed in the Battle of Winterfell or by Ramsay. Or what if she got pregnant? If LF's plan is to destroy the Boltons and take over the North, what is the fate of Sansa's child? Would the Northern houses choose LF over Sansa? I just don't buy LF taking such a huge risk with Sansa, both to political issues and his personal feelings.
And is defeating the Boltons his sole storyline for this season? I presume the Vale knights will attack Winterfell during the Bastardbowl. That's all? And is he still going to expect the title of Warden of the North with Jon there? He's gotta start making those chaos ladders pretty quickly.

Old foe=Hound? GET HYPE
On a more serious note, "The North is reminded." sounds kind of promising?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing his direction on the show.

FWIW can't Faceless Men only change their faces, not the entire makeup of their bodies..?
It's going to be
Walder Frey. I can't see them hinting at the Hound like that. Plus Walder was front and center in one of the trailers and he's due for a re-introduction.
I laughed at
"The North is reminded."
This is great, I'm actually looking forward to watching new episodes because I'm genuinely into the story, despite its shortcomings, and want to see where it goes as I'm interested. Last season I found myself watching just to see what they'd fuck up next and after the season premiere I thought that would happen again.

I really wouldn't want a Blackfish held Riverrun at this point. It's not been mentioned at all, Black fish himself hasn't been mentioned since season 3! It would likely be resolved within 20 minutes also.

The Boltons knew the Lannisters will turn on them the moment they hear of the marriage. To them Sansa is more important for the control of the north than Lannister support(especially after the death of Tywin). If they tried to give away Littlefinger it would be their word against his.
Also he couldn't really lie about it since the Lannisters should have some spies in the north to investigate whats going on. At the same time the Boltons would want the whole north to know Ramsay married a Stark to strenghten their claim, so word would reach KL soon after.
Finally let's not forget Littlefinger had to manipulate Cersei to get what he wanted in the end and she isn't the sharpest tool in the box.
I have no idea what he wants to do with her.We need to see how the rest of the season plays out.
I can only speculate that he wants to marry her to solidify his hold of the north. If he can't get what he wants from her he will propably try to kill her (and Jon)
The Riverlands wouldn't be the only storyline out of the picture since season four.

Poor Osha.
It's weird to think that GRRM said he was going to write more for Osha because of Natalia Tena's performance and then the show goes and kills her off 1 episode with no fanfare after bringing her back from a 2 season absence.

Sackheim did a Reddit AMA yesterday. WiCnet has highlights here.
It makes sex very confusing.
The highlights didn't mention that he also confirms the pink letter is Ramsay's.
His answers were kind of vague though, like when asked about Sansa knowing Jon died he said that he assumes she does, do directors only know the plot of the episodes they are involved in?
I'm more confused about how everyone south of the wall doesn't know Jon died.
This is one of those things that is silly both in the show and the books, because he's a terrible deserter if he just up and left the Night's Watch, and a fucking demon if he died first and came back.
The books and show creators are having a passive-aggressive battle now. The show rapes Sansa, Martin releases a new Alayne chapter. The show kills Doran, Martin release a new Arianne chapter. Martin says Osha is great, the show kills her off.
What if Martin changed the whole ending of the series and decided not to tell D and D?
I doubt the show would mirror the book's ending anyway. I've been expecting A Song of Ice and Fire's ending to elicit a similar reader reaction as the Dark Tower series in that a lot of people were pissed at the direction King took. I think the show is going to have a happy ending even if Jon happens to die in the final battle.

To be fair Jon was resurrected like less than a few days after his death. Alliser just didn't send any ravens in time and they would probably had to do another election (with Alliser obviously winning) before declaring a new commander.
What I want to know is what Littlefinger asked from Roose in return of delivering Sansa to her. I mean, it's a LITTLE suspicious and odd LF just handing her over without any reason from Roose's perspective.

How come some episodes aren't written by D&D?
Would not be shocked if it's Eurario.

They're credited with 1, 3, 4, and 5 so far this season. Cogman is credited for 6 and 7.

They have a writing staff/room which currently includes Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill. After they break a season, David and Dan assign a few of the scripts to Bryan and Dave. It's pretty standard showrunning practice.
Not ending?
Barristan Selmy kills the Night's King while carrying Doran Martell on his back.

They're making us wait for it.

I think you are missing one scene in the last trailer:
Edit:
it's this image.
Sansa looking extremely worried about something, it seems to be in castle black, she has the same coat as in the last episode and everything, but now I don't think it is, and that was definitely not in the last episode.
Edit:
it's this image.

So in the next episode premier, was the Nights King looking at Bran or just looking through him?
Most likely looking at him. In one of the trailers for the season, Bran actually gets physically grabbed by the Night King
