Game of Thrones

Ok. Tell me this isn't crazy.

Bran is the old man in the tree/3 eyed raven. He was told not to linger in the past too long or he would remain there. Perhaps he did get stuck, and he's been waiting this whole time for his younger self to arrive to warn him not to do it.

I just wanna see the dragons burn down the old wives retirement home and watch her walk out of the fire . NAKED ! AGAIN !
Also isn't Sansa technically still married to a Lanaster ???????? I know they never consummated but I don't remember an annulment either !
I hope that will come into play later in the story .

Not to say the show might not go their own way, but...
In the books the three eyed raven is Brynden Rivers (aka Bloodraven ). He was once the Hand of the King for Aerys the 1 rst (not the mad king Aerys II) and Targareyn loyalist during the blackfyre Rebellion and later became a commander of the Night's Watch.

Looks wise he was an albino. He was seen as a sorcerer and a rather devious fellow by many and was said to keep his rule by spies and spells

He ran afowl when he had Aenys Blackfyre beheaded. Despite his argument it was for the good of the realm he was imprisoned and eventually given the chance to go to the wall by Aegon

He accompanied Maester Aemon to the wall and eventually rose to the lord commander position

but ultimately disappeared while ranging beyond the wall

The biggest question I think is what are his ultimate motives

I hate you. I'm now 15 minutes deep into a swiftly heating argument across an office space

He was once the Hand of the King for Aerys the 1 rst (not the mad king Aerys II) and Targareyn loyalist during the blackfyre Rebellion and later became a commander of the Night's Watch. He was one of Aegon "the Unworthy" IV's bastards, all of whom -- including Daemon Blackfyre -- were legitimized on Aegon IV's deathbed. I believe he served as Hand of the King for Maekar I, who succeeded the childless Aerys I -- his brother.

Looks wise he was an albino. He was seen as a sorcerer and a rather devious fellow by many and was said to keep his rule by spies and spells. He also lost an eye at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, which -- in the books -- now has a tree root growing through the socket. Hence the "three-eyed raven." He wielded Dark Sister, one of the two swords Aegon I brought from Dragonstone in his conquest of Westeros, the other being Blackfyre which had been given to Daemon Blackfyre by Aegon IV.

He ran afowl when he had Aenys Blackfyre beheaded. Despite his argument it was for the good of the realm he was imprisoned and eventually given the chance to go to the wall by Aegon V, following Aegon's succession to the throne as the result of a Great Council. One of Aegon V's first official acts as King was to have Bloodraven sent to the Wall.

He accompanied Maester Aemon to the wall and eventually rose to the lord commander position. Aemon was Aegon V's (a.k.a. "Egg") brother, but had chosen to become a Maester. Maekar I, Aegon V and Aemon's father, had several sons. Daeron, his eldest, died a drunkard, plagued by "dragon dreams." Aerion, also known as "Brightflame," was insane and thought himself a dragon. He died drinking wildfire with predictable results. That left Aemon (who, as third in line for the throne had never seriously expected to inherit, had decided to become a Maester, thereby making him ineligible to rule) and Aegon as Maekar's sole surviving male heirs.

but ultimately disappeared while ranging beyond the wall, along with the Valyrian sword Dark Sister.

Minor clarifications added (in the original spoiler).

In an interview Martin said there is a pretty big twist in the next book, but that the TV show won't be able to use it since the the character involved has been killed off in the show

"What's interesting about this chapter is that many of the characters either are dead on Game of Thrones or simply aren't in it. It follows the perspective Arianne Martell (who isn't a character in the show), the daughter of Doran Martell (who is now dead on the show), on her journey to meet with Jon Connington (who isn't in the show), a member of the Golden Company who serves the apparently still living son of Rhaegar Targaryen, Aegon (also not in the show). The chapter offers an interesting set-up to a conflict at Storm's End that likely will be ignored or consolidated on Game of Thrones"

When IGN talked to Martin in February, he teased that there is a big twist coming up in the forthcoming novel that won't be able to play out on Game of Thrones -- because it involves a character already dead on the show. "It’s something that involves a couple characters one of whom is dead in the show but not dead in the books. So the show can’t do this, unfortunately," he said.

So, at this point, it could be Barristan Selmy, Prince Doran, Mrycella or Stannis, or to a lesser extent Greatjohn Umber ( I believe he is held captive by the Frey's)
 
Finally got to watch this episode.

I'm hoping that Smalljon Umber is just a substitute for Wyman Manderly in the show and we'll still see the Grand Northern Conspiracy in some fashion. Otherwise I hate to see what Ramsay does to poor Rickon. It'll make what Theon pretended to do look like child's play. And I can't believe another of the Stark direwolves is gone. Damn.

Exactly what I said to my wife tonight. Although...I'm REALLY hoping that wasn't really Shaggy Dog's head:cry....I want to see more Direwolves kicking ass....but I can understand if it happened because 1: he was the wildest of the litter so i can see him not doing to well being separated from Rickon. 2: Rickon was the wildest Stark so I can see him not really selling emotionally if Shaggy Dog wasn't really killed. 3: Probably no other way to sell it to Ramsey that it was a direwolf. It's possible it's a large wolf or possibly even another direwolf....but this is Game of Thrones so....:cry.
