The many devastating deaths weren't the only cliffhangers on Game of Thrones' season five finale, and with season six starting up on Sunday, you need to remember where everyone left off. Many of our beloved characters are left out in the wilderness, some seem changed forever, and there's a small matter of a death that we've been denying for an entire year. With the HBO series coming back soon, refresh yourself on the biggest cliffhangers of season five.

Arya's Blindness
Arya just can't resist scratching one name off her kill list, and she brutally murders Ser Meryn (who absolutely deserves it). But when Jaqen H'ghar admonishes her for what she's done (especially the whole face-borrowing business), she pulls off face after face of a corpse to finally find her own face . . . and then her vision begins to blur as she goes blind.

Daenerys and the Dothrakis
So much for that graceful escape on Drogon in the previous episode. After her injured baby drops her off in the middle of nowhere, Daenerys finds herself quickly surrounded by a horde of Dothrakis. Sure, they might know her as their Khaleesi from back in the day, but these are also men who pride themselves on their savagery. Good luck, Mother of Dragons.

The FrankenMountain
The last time we saw the Mountain alive-ish is at the end of season four, but in the season finale, he shows up again, ready to vanquish all of Cersei's enemies. We only see his eyes in his armor, and he's all purple and bruised. Great. This can only mean he's going to be worse than before, and he was already The Worst.

Sansa and Theon's Escape
Finally! Theon grows a pair and eliminates Myranda, Sansa is ready to escape the worst marriage ever, and then they grab hands to jump into the moat. So we'll be worried about them getting pneumonia when we see them next.

Jon Snow's . . . Death?
My love for Jon Snow has put me in complete denial, and I can't help but believe this isn't the end for him. He's stabbed, bleeding, and his eyes go lifeless after the Night's Watch turns on him.
