That's the letter Brienne was given by Sansa.

My guess is that it will be the Blackfish who ends up being the help they need. Otherwise, why even bring him back into the story?

Really? The Blackfish is going to defeat a Lannister field army commanded by Jaime the Golden hand and Bronn of the Blackwater?

Fat chance. Jaime Lannister was a retard when he had two hands, but now he is thinking with head, not his ego.

When that Faceless Man drank poison and died in front of Arya, she kept pulling faces off of the body until she got to her own.

Yeah. What was that all about. I think someone made a mistake with thw script.

Nope, I suspect the Blackfish will end up making a deal with Jaime to be let go...

I suspect that in fact at some point Jaime is going to figure out what the fuck is actually going on, and realizes that there are bigger issues at stake...

there's still Dorne.  The Sand Snakes killed their lord because they wanted immediate war with the Lannisters.  I'm still expecting them to attack any time this season.  Or Cersei doing something stupid.

Yeah no reason for Jaime to have any particular love for Ramsey Bolton or the Boltons in general.  And while having Sansa Stark running around the north with an army may not be a preferred Lannister scenario, it should soon be apparent that anyone up north is going to have their hand's full with other concerns.

It's almost-certainly going to be Littlefinger and the army from the Vale that saves the day.  Hence the secretive nature of Sansa's letter-writing.  The Blackfish might well help out in the North, but his small force in Riverrun doesn't seem like it's going to be all the decisive--unless they participate in some retaliatory raids against the Freys later.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Blackfish's Riverrun force is supposed to be the cobbled together remnants of the the defeated Riverlands army.  It would make zero sense for them to march off to Winterfell and save the day.  It didn't make much sense in the first place for them to recapture Riverrun.

I agree.  Brienne wil convince him he can do more good by getting the honors of war at Riverrun and march north.  How this could happen in the timeline of Jon attacking immediately I don't know, but time moves at the speed of plot.

We have the scene of Jon Snow leading a cavalry charge into the heart of the Bolton army from the season spoilers.  He's clearly not going to be leading Wildlings, who have no horses.  Those have to be the Knights of the Vale we are talking about.

When Jon decided to march on Winterfell, they were arguing about someone else they needed to contact, Sansa wanted to contact them, Jon did not.  I think Sansa is writing to these people.

Also, in the books, there is someone who remains allies with the Stark, he feigns imprisoning the onion knight and later serves the Frey's sons to the old man in some blood pie.  Who was he?  Was he mentionned in the tv show?

Lord Wyman Manderly of White Harbor I think.

They've already done the Winterfell wedding, so the Frey pies cannot appear in that, but I dearly hope they appear somewhere.

Sadly, I don't think Frey pies are happening.  If they don't give me Manderly, I may have an aneurysm.
