I'd be immensely pissed off if the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch gets Spoilerganked by a punk-ass little kid.But presumably the battle they showed last week will take place in some form in Winds of Winter, so I'm not really sure how to explain that timeline.

The battle last week already happened in the books.

Sounds to me like they just ran out of food.

The show cut it out so they're making up for it nowFun fact: D&D royally pissed off HBO for going overbudget with this episode.Well, fuck what they think. That episode was phenomenal.
I feel like it's basically been thrown in our faces all season that the little kid will be a part of it. Even my mom has picked up on it. A lot of us have also noticed the line from Sam when he said "Jon always comes back" as a sort of foreshadowing.The thing that confuses me is that all season, Jon has made it very clear that they need to bring the Wildlings south of the wall to keep them from turning into wights. Yet the little kid has basically ignored this point because he doesn't think it's worth it. So when they come back with the majority of the Wildlings slaughtered and turned into wights before their very eyes, and they find out Jon's concerns were completely legitimate, just to have that kid will stab the shit out of him anyway? Because I truly doubt the bastard letter is going to happen. Ah well, probably just going to end up being another inconsistency to add to the list within show-canon.
You'll find out why either next episode or episode 10
