    I sort of agree with this as I would've liked to have seen a bigger deal be made out of his book sword, Dawn. But then if you think about it, the choreography of the fight would've been a bit sluggish with him only able to take on one guy at a time.

    Yeah that's fair enough - but maybe they could have let Ser Gerold Hightower live a bit longer to make up for it. Definitely a nit-pick though, as it was a cool fight regardless.

    I like this theory a lot, especially the theory about Aerys being warned to "burn them all" regarding the white walkers but Aerys confuses it to just "burn everyone around me". I also really like a possible theory that Bran could have in fact caused young Willis to become Hodor by way of intercepting during the horsekick to the head.

    I think it's always been fairly clear that he's at least going to attempt to do so.
    uhh, no? I think that it's kindof a stretch to say that before his visit to Ned praying in the books or this most recent episode that it's always been clear or obvious that Bran had anything to do with changing the past. It's not exactly as if we could have guessed this show would be going the way of time travel now.

    Also, we're all on board with the cries from the Tower of Joy being the brand new baby Jon Snow, yes?

    I had a theory that Bran went back in time, took over the body of a pigeon and ate a lot of poison then was purposefully captured to be cooked into the pigeon pie at the purple wedding but that's probably not the case since they tied up all the loose ends.

    Calling it now, Sansa and Jon bypass each other on the road and she goes all the way to The Wall only to find he is no longer there.

    Also I know this is hard to hear regarding the sparrows but... This wouldn't have happened if Joffery was in charge

    I think it was probably Lyanna in the midst of childbirth to new baby Jon Snow

    Yeah, it sounded like a woman screaming. I thought it was Lyanna giving birth.

    And Shorty, I basically meant since we learned that Bran can visit the past with the Three-Eyed Raven. xD Although in season 3? Jojen telling Bran "you can see the past, future, present blah blah, but you can't change it" is, well, a tip that he can.

    I do think the whole Aerys "burn them all" being a product of Bran trying to warn people about the White Walkers an interesting theory.

    I think the big difference is that Bran is a greenseer AND a Warg. Maybe that's why he can affect the past while Jojen couldn't. Jojen wouldn't have know if it was possible because he couldn't.

    I hope Shaggydog isn't dead and it is all a big trick. I wasn't aware the Umbers turned on the Starks, but remembering all the minor houses is difficult. I hope Shaggydog and Ghost tag team on Ramsay and tear him to shreds.

    Hanging the boy who turned on Jon was kind of cruel. He was just a kid! And his family died! Cut him some slack.

    Yeah, Olly's betrayal, I get. Wildlings killed his family. Some of the wildlings Jon befriended and was helping. I get it.

    What pissed me off most about Olly was that he said "For the watch". Alliser Thorne saying that? Yes, absolutely, I fully believe that. But Olly? Bitch you've been in the Night's Watch for all of three days, don't even.
