Are we ever gonna find out what happened to Benjen?

 

It does ...

 

Yes.

[blackout] he saves bran and meera (looks like next ep)[/blackout]

 

I was expecting Bran to see him in the wight army.

It is known?

 

It is known.

 

[blackout]He wouldn't happen to be Coldhands, would he?[/blackout]

 

Not outright saying that, no... but he basically has his role in a way.

We won't be seeing CH in the series.

 

What would that be?

 

The way its going with Theon, yeesh. Back when they took this tangent, I expected Theon to return with Yara and her ironborn, joining their forces with the Starks. Building relationships with the other houses in order to strengthen the Iron Islands' standing felt like a natural extension of what Yara argued for in episode two.

I never expected the show to do justice to Aeron's character as he is in the books. I also never expected them to strip Euron of what made him so interesting in the Kingsmoot chapters.

 

D&D are flaying the entire Greyjoy family.

 

Spoiler...

Spoiler

Sandor Clegane (The Hound) returns.

Fan theory below:

Spoiler

People theorize he will be the Faith's champion in Cersei's trial by combat. Meaning it will be an undead Gregor Clegane vs reborn Sandor Clegane

 

And totally destroying the Iron Islands. Literally lol, they're gonna run out of trees building ships. I have no idea why they needed to defuse the tension of Yara and Theon being on the run like that.

I've checked my Randyl hype. I don't expect to get the bloodthirsty jackass that happens to be a competent commander that cares for his people. I'm probably just getting the bloodthirsty jackass.

 

Unfortunately, thats not happening... at least this season.

CoTF: "We needed to defend ourselves"

Bran: "From who?"

CoTF: "From you.....from men"


Could Bran be Bran the Builder? Time-traveling and all?

My first inclination was that Bran the builder was the first WW aka the night king, but then again if Bran is Bran the builder then that would make him the first WW aka the NK, and that is why the NK could touch Bran in his vision, and why he was eye balling John at Hardhome, and the main villain of this show is Bran and he doesn't even know it...

 

I like the idea of the NK being Bran the Builder...let's keep that Bran separate from our Bran.

Would ya'll say the children using dragonglass is what gives the white walkers their immunity to nondraconic fire?

 

NK being Bran the Builder would also semi-confirm Bran the builder = The last hero, considering in legend the Last Hero went to find the Children of the Forest, lost all of his friends and companions and then he found the Children. His companions can be the other WWs we saw at Craster's Baby initiation.

 

Looking ahead to the Battle of the Bastards, I'd guess we can chalk the distinctly unwintery conditions to the Lord of Light looking favorably on Jon. Like what Mel was trying to get the LoL to do for Stannis last season.

 

they could at least have it snowing somewhere down south... pretty sad how 'winter' has turned out

 

Well, we did get the end of Summer. Ha-ha-ha... *sobs*

 

we didnt even get a beginning to summer

 

I don't get the big deal about Cleganebowl, I mean I could if Gregor was still Gregor but he ain't.

 

I just wanted to see it since the scene in the first season where they fight.

 

Man, now THAT'S a story.

Things are getting a little confusing. So, after the tower of joy whispers, and now what happened today, can Bran really affect the past? I asked this a couple of weeks ago and the general opinion was that he couldn't, but now?

It really starts to feel like the endgame is close.
