WARNING: Potentially huge spoilers ahead. There, you\'ve been warned. 

 fan theories – and while some are obviously beyond barmy, some have proved to be pretty close to the truth (Bran CAN time travel, sort of – who knew? Well, someone did, it turns out.)

It\'s only been a couple of episodes since our last round-up, but we have already found plenty more theories – all of which we could actually imagine being revealed as true. So have at this lot and see what you think:

wouldn\'t it? Sansa is finally safe, and then she realises that she\'s carrying the spawn of the devil.

The theory began after her little chat with Littlefinger, in which she attacked him for allowing her to marry Ramsay Bolton. Speaking about that horrible wedding night, she said: "I can still feel it. I don\'t mean \'in my tender heart it still pains me so\' — I can still feel what he did in my body standing here right now."

Fans have debated whether she is referring to a literal baby inside her rather than physical and emotional pain. Jon Snow later commented on her new large coat (to accommodate her child?) and that she didn\'t want to eat the Night\'s Watch food (though, can you blame her?).

If it were true, Sansa and her team would want to do anything they can to prevent Ramsay from finding out, as having an heir would consolidate his rule over Winterfell.

Now that we\'ve seen Bran time travel more than Doc Brown, all kinds of theories have sprung up about what he might do. We\'ve already discussed how he might turn the Mad King mad in the first place, but what if he was the same Bran who built the Wall?

Remember Old Nan talking about all those Brans in the past? Bran the Builder, Bran the Shipwright etc. What if Bran was EVERY SINGLE BRAN? All Bran, if you will.

Maybe he travels back in time and subtly influence events to make sure they turn out the way they\'re meant to? He makes sure that the wall is built to protect everyone from the White Walkers (becoming Bran the Builder), and he is also the person who creates the "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" rule, to make sure he and his brothers are actually born in the first place.

Game of Thrones: 5 big questions raised by episode 6 \'Blood of My Blood\'

This is a Digital Spy exclusive, though chances are you may have thought it too. The last time we saw Sansa, she bizarrely lied to Jon about how she found out about her uncle Brynden "The Blackfish" Tully taking over Riverrun. In reality, she was told by Littlefinger, but she made out that she intercepted a raven while being held captive by Ramsay.

The reason? Maybe because Littlefinger pointed out how Jon is really just her half-brother, and thus she is the true Stark heir and leader (true, Bran and Rickon are still around, but she doesn\'t know that, and we\'re not sure where the North stands on female vs male primogeniture). Lest we forget, Sansa was quite the cow in the first season, especially to Jon.

Maybe she\'ll go back to her old ways now that she\'s safe and has power and will betray Jon when push comes to shove? We hope not, but we wouldn\'t be surprised.

Another Bran theory: that Lord of Light that the Red Women bangs on about is actually the second-youngest Stark.

The idea goes that the voices that whisper to the priests and priestesses are actually Bran warging back in time while trying to build an army of fire-bearers to beat the White Walkers. This action eventually gets turned into a full religion.

The Lord of Light is supposedly looking for the "prince that was promised" to defeat the Walkers, and the prime candidate right now is Jon Snow (Melisandre\'s previous candidate: Stannis Baratheon). It makes sense that if Bran was doing all the promising that he has picked his step-brother as the "chosen one".

, it\'s fair to assume that the end game will involve Jon Snow (Ice) and Daenerys (Fire) in some way. Whether they\'ll be together or against each other remains to be seen, but one theory states that Jon will be forced to kill his potential lover/family member/something else.

The epic theory goes that Daenerys actually ends up being Westeros\' main threat rather than its saviour, as she goes insane, much like the Mad King before her. She and her dragons will bring ruin to the Seven Kingdoms. Be honest, she was looking a tad tyrannical at the end of episode 6.

Jon Snow will be the one who discovers the Horn of Winter and actually commands the army of White Walkers (who are actually good guys?), wakes up an alleged Ice Dragon and takes on the Dany and her three dragons in one fell swoop. Still with us?

How would you die in Game of Thrones? Our gruesome quiz has the answer

Or looking at it from another angle entirely, if Jon is the "Prince who was promised", he has to have the legendary sword  Lightbringer, which will only come about if it\'s quenched in "living fire" (specifically, the heart of a loved one).

Azor Ahai, the ancient legendary figure of the Red Priests\' religion, did just this by plunging it in the heart of his (willing) wife. So, he may have to sacrifice Dany to do it.

he had made the real Lightbringer, but Maester Aemon made it clear that this wasn\'t the case, as the sword was not radiating any heat. This is getting far too complicated, now.

7. THE FACELESS MEN WILL TEAM UP WITH THE WHITE WALKERS

A somewhat tinfoil-hat-style theory (yet still rather plausible) states in depth how Jaqen\'s Faceless Men are actually aligned with the White Walkers and they aim to unleash death and destruction across the Seven Kingdoms. And everyone will die. Again, we wouldn\'t be surprised with this show.

They worship the Many-Faced God, an amalgamation of each culture\'s death lord. Not only do they worship death, but they carry it out on a regular basis – either through assassinations or mercy killings. They stop at nothing until they\'ve carried out the death they\'ve been tasked with (and get a hefty reward for doing so).

They originated as slaves in Valyria, where they would pray for death. The very first Faceless Man figured that the prayers were all to the same god, with a hundred faces, whose gift was death itself. While it hasn\'t been revealed what happened to the Valyrian masters, The Doom eventually arrived.

What is The Doom, you ask? Many believe it was caused by dragon eggs, and Aegon Targaryen\'s attempt to hatch some caused much destruction and death, proving their power. Who else has a dragon egg? According to the books, Euron Greyjoy used to before he threw it in the ocean.

Or did he? He already apparently owns a horn that allows him to control dragons, and people have theorised that he actually paid a Faceless Man with an egg to assassinate his brother Balon. Maybe the Euron that we saw kill his brother was actually a Faceless Man?

In the books, a man who looks just like Jaqen infiltrated the Citadel, and fans have theories (we\'ve gone full

, theories within theories) whereby he was there to either find out how to hatch a dragon egg (via the Citadel\'s huge library), or cover up old magic books about the Others (otherwise known as White Walkers). Who else is travelling to the Citadel? Sam. Stay away!

The White Walkers are trapped behind the wall, which has loads of different magical properties inside its structure. The one thing that can undo magical ice, is magical fire. How to combat this? Dragon eggs. So, perhaps the WW and the FM are secretly a team aiming to end all life. Basically, it could all be Euron Greyjoy\'s fault.

Perhaps the Faceless Men and the Iron Bank –both major institutions of Braavos – are actually in league with each other and structurally affiliated?

The Iron Bank is known as the richest organisation in the world, and has enough money to bring down entire regimes. If you don\'t pay them back, someone\'s going to get you. Maybe a Faceless Man?

The FM charge huge fees for their services but the fees are also relative to the wealth of the person hiring them and who the target is. A wealthy person will pay more than a poor person, but the proportions will essentially be the same.

The FM may not flaunt their vast wealth, so where does their money go? Maybe to the Iron Bank, which then lends it out and forces its will on foreign regimes, so that the FM can then continue their influence on the world.

All this would lead to the idea that the Many-Faced God is actually money, and the impact it has on people. This is why they don\'t care who hires them and what for, they just want the cash to then inject into the Iron Bank (their god).

What did Jaqen give Arya as a token to get into Braavos?

Another one to do with your favourite Faceless Man. Wonder why he\'s so obsessed with Arya? Maybe it\'s something to do with one of his recent(ish) tasks.

Perhaps the reason we saw such a badass supernatural assassin as Jaqen captured and in a cage, was because he was

Cersei could have hired the FM to silence Ned and to avoid the inevitable unrest an execution would cause. However, her son Joffrey went rogue and killed Ned before Jaqen could get to him.

As the Lannisters wasted his precious time, maybe he purposely sought out Arya and has taken her under his wing in an elaborate plan to get his own back?

10. THE UMBERS WILL DOUBLE CROSS RAMSAY (AND SHAGGYDOG IS ALIVE)

Maybe this is just wishful thinking, because we really didn\'t like seeing the Umbers betray the Starks and side with Ramsay Bolton.

SmallJon Umber delivered Rickon to Ramsay a couple of weeks ago, and gave a speech about how he wanted to team up with the Boltons to take on wildlings. But with his dad Greatjon being fiercely loyal to the Starks, it wouldn\'t make sense for him to suddenly side with Ramsay.

The theory states that the Umbers are planning to stab Ramsay in the back, and want his fake allegiance to look as real as possible, and so presented the head of Rickon\'s direwolf Shaggydog. But maybe it was just a regular wolf?

Chances are though, that the Umbers are just dicks and that Shaggydog is very much an ex-direwolf.

11. LADY STONEHEART WILL ARRIVE VERY SOON

In the books, Catelyn Stark didn\'t stay dead for too long after the Red Wedding, as she was resurrected by Beric Dondarrion (that bloke with the eyepatch who kept coming back to life in earlier seasons).

Thereafter known as Lady Stoneheart, Catelyn went on a hellbent mission to kill anyone remotely connected with the Red Wedding. Fans have longed for her to make an appearance on the show, and recent events have pointed towards this finally happening.

The sudden comeback of her Frey-held brother Edmure may be the catalyst for Stoneheart\'s arrival (he\'ll probably get murdered in some horrible way, let\'s be honest). Meanwhile, both Jaime and Brienne are also heading straight for Riverrun. We won\'t spoil things too much, but let\'s just say that the books featured a huge and eventful reunion for the pair, orchestrated by Stoneheart.

Maybe Jon Snow\'s resurrection at the start of the season was a precursor to Catelyn coming back to life, so that it won\'t feel completely bonkers. Plus, they made sure to include Catelyn front and centre in Bran\'s latest vision. Foreshadowing, much?
