The theory doesn't at any point suggest that Bran is Physically in the past. Infact, Bran's physical manifestation only exists in the present, which is why according to the theory, the Night King waited millenia for Bran to be born so that he(NK) could kill him

I think the Theory makes a lot of sense actually. The Night King can manifest at the same time as Bran in the present, as Bran only Wargs into the NK in Bran's future.

You're quite correct; I was wrong.

And if this theory holds true, then I can easily guess how all the wights - both humans, giants, and animals - are animated. Bran a.k.a the Night King simply wargs them all. Scary sh!t.

TheKingIsHere:
To be honest, it is a dicy one because although this is mere speculation, the points being raised cannot be overlooked.

Now, I had to go back and watch some clips when bran was with the children of the forest. After watching I had a feeling that bran might be the night king after all.

If you watch the conversation between bran and one of the children of the forest called leaf, bran said after his vision that it was her, that she created the night king. Leaf replied that the had to do it because they were at war and they had to protect themselves. Now, Bran asked, "from who"? and she replies "from you.. .."

Why did she say this? Why did she say they did it to protect themselves from bran several years ago when bran is just a child now? No one knows yet.

However, this particular scene holds a lot of controversies as to why she accused bran of attacking the children of the forest which pushed them to create the night king.

For now, it looks like a 50-50 chance here that bran might be the night king. I just hope that GOT will be able to give a logical explanation at the end.

The loops and twists in this are just too convoluted. Think it through...

The COTF create the NK (who is actually Bran) because they are losing a battle against the First Men (who are also led by Bran). This effectively makes the theory collapse on itself cos if Brandon the Builder fought against the NK, then one of them is not Bran.

But here's the biggest loophole in the theory: Bran can only see the past, he may even be able to make his presence felt in the past (as Ned heard his voice at the Tower of Joy), but he cannot physically - bodily - be present in the past. And if he can't, then how does he get captured and turned by the COTF?

To anyone claiming Bran is NK: Though yur theory sounds interesting but it still doesn't make sense. Listed below is why I think the theory is flawed.

I never actually bought into the 'Bran=NK' theory, but my reasons are mostly sentimental.

Okay then.

Mister informed.

Care to explain how many centuries it takes to write a book?

The show writers are doing in months what is taking GRRM years to do. But no, they don't deserve credit.

This is your explanation of "pay attention when watching the show"?? I'm sorry but i just find it disappointing. You sound like you have a bone to pick with somebody; i can't help you there, sorry.

You should become one of GRRM's writers and peradventure what you wrote is true then it is an epic story and you just ruined it for me

Me and you both, bro. I didnt even want to quote him.

True be told, I've long suspected that Bran might be a villain but I couldn't imagine him as the Night King himself. Assuming Bran does indeed become the Night King, then the whole ASOIF is just a moral tale - don't fly too close to the sun or you'll burn, don't green-dream for too long or you'll become the NK and destroy humanity. Mmm... its too simple, and GRRM doesnt do simple.

Give D& some credit, they are trying to finish someone else's story. Something GRRM cannot do.

Also, pay attention when watching the show next time.

I'm not GRRM and I'm not privy to his book plans, so I'll just refrain from commenting on the remaining books. This thread is for the tv show anyway. I must say though that your statement "GRRM has run out of ideas" shows how uninformed you are.

Oasis007:

I was surprised as well Bro! It's really unexplainable! The Writer is goddamn exhausted, he just wants the Show to End as soon as Possible.

I feel your pain, bro.

No, it is not that the "show writer" is exhausted; it is that the "show writer" (a.k.a David Beniof and D.B. Weiss) have run out of the source material (i.e. the A Song of Ice and Fire books - ASOIAF), and all they have now are the "highlights" of the remaining books which the original writer (George R.R. Martin, a.k.a GRRM) is YET to complete.

GRRM is a writer in a class by himself. Put simply, he is the JRR Tolkien of our times, and the ASOIAF books are his masterpiece. Seasons 1 - 5 of the show were based on the first 5 books; that is why they were so well crafted and excellently paced. But from season6, there were no more books! And unfortunately GRRM is such a slow writer! grin

So all he gave the "show writers" were highlights of the 2 remaining books of series, leaving them to flesh out the story as they see fit.

And that is you are watching now in season 7... there are still some wonderful story points, but overall so poorly put together. To even make things worse, whatever excitement that could've been gotten from watching the show as it is has been squashed by all the spoilers that completely exposed the whole season before it even premiered. Go figure.

Yonce !

Keep in mind, should Robert's war have never happened, or rather should Westeros know of Rhaegar setting aside Elia Martell( His marriage to Lyanna wasn't going to be a secret for long.) it would lead to more conflict.
-Dorne wouldn't take this lightly.
-It sets Aegon, Elia's son, against Jon for the Iron Throne : Dorne against the North. The North have an alliance with the Vale, the Stormlands, the Riverlands. Dorne could form an alliance with Houses Tyrell and Lannister(because Aerys set aside Cersei to spite Tywin). Either way a way will still ensue.
-Coupled with Rhaegar already planning to dethrone his father.
-Coupled with the Mad King's paranoia.
Surely our dear Rhaegar thought of all of this. I mean why let the country side burn ? - Because he read about a prophecy from a book.

Basically another Dance of Dragons.

<Book 4: A Feast for Crows:: *finished*>

I'm really short of words... After the penultimate Brienne chapter where Brienne the Beauty fought Rorge and Biter, when she made that stand to draw away the last band of the Bloody Mummers from the kids at the Crossroads Inn, knowing it would be the death of her... I literally got heart-sick. For an instance there, i forgot i was reading GRRM fiction and actually wished luck would intervene. I've read all this before but it still ate me up inside what she went through. By the last Brienne chapter, she was almost entirely broken inside, the Brotherhood were totally broken, and then Lady Stoneheart gave her that choice of the devil or the deep blue sea... The sheer hopelessness of it all.

"Justice." Thoros smiled wanly. "I remember justice. It had a pleasant taste. Justice was what we were about when Beric led us, or so we told ourselves. We were king's men, knights, heroes... but some knights are dark and full of terror, my lady. War makes monsters of us all."

-------------

Of note is Jaime's dream at Riverrun. <pg 693/767> I totally missed this on my first read years ago, and strangely i don't recall ever coming across its mention on any online wikia/forum.

That night he dreamt that he was back in the Great Sept of Baelor, still standing vigil over his father’s corpse. The sept was still and dark, until a woman emerged from the shadows and walked slowly to the bier. “Sister?” he said.
But it was not Cersei. She was all in grey, a silent sister. A hood and veil concealed her features, but he could see the candles burning in the green pools of her eyes. “Sister,” he said, “what would you have of me?” His last word echoed up and down the sept, mememememememememememe.
“I am not your sister, Jaime.” She raised a pale soft hand and pushed her hood back. “Have you forgotten me?”
Can I forget someone I never knew? The words caught in his throat. He did know her, but it had been so long...
“Will you forget your own lord father too? I wonder if you ever knew him, truly.”
Her eyes were green, her hair spun gold. He could not tell how old she was. Fifteen, he thought, or fifty. She climbed the steps to stand above the bier. “He could never abide being laughed at. That was the thing he hated most.”
“Who are you?” He had to hear her say it.
“The question is, who are you?”
“This is a dream.”
“Is it?” She smiled sadly. “Count your hands, child.”
One. One hand, clasped tight around the sword hilt. Only one. “In my dreams I always have two hands.” He raised his right arm and stared uncomprehending at the ugliness of his stump.
“We all dream of things we cannot have. Tywin dreamed that his son would be a great knight, that his daughter would be a queen. He dreamed they would be sostrong and brave and beautiful that no one would ever laugh at them.”
“I am a knight,” he told her, “and Cersei is a queen.”
A tear rolled down her cheek. The woman raised her hood again and turned her back on him. Jaime called after her, but already she was moving away, her skirt whispering lullabies as it brushed across the floor. Don’t leave me, he wanted to call, but of course she’d left them long ago...

I strongly think the hooded woman is his mother, Joanna, beloved of Tywin, who died birthing Tyrion. Any thoughts, any one? Wonder what's the significance of this dream...

----------------

And of course there were usual GRRM easter eggs... there was a member of the Brotherhood right under Jaime's nose at Riverrun; he even had nice good chat with the naughty old outlaw! But the best hidden egg for me was the dog named Dog ^{(wink-wink!!)} meeting the "novice gravedigger" back at the septry on Quiet Isle.

...and higher still they passed a lichyard where a brother bigger than Brienne was struggling to dig a grave. From the way he moved, it was plain to see that he was lame. As he flung a spadeful of the stony soil over one shoulder, some chanced to spatter against their feet. "Be more watchful there," chided Brother Narbert. "Septon Meribald might have gotten a mouthful of dirt." The gravedigger lowered his head. When Dog went to sniff him, he dropped his spade and scratched his ear.

Of course there's a gaping hole here: how the heck did both Brienne and Ser Hyle miss the huge burn scar on his face? Nobody who's ever laid eyes on the Hound misses that scar. But hey, i liked the tale so i'm not complaining.

--------

I think of the first four books of the series, AFFC is the most underated. It doesn't have much of the screened gallantry and likable characters that the first three books had, but there's so much deeper meaning in this book. It is here we finally meet a true knight but we barely recognize what we are shown because, surprise! the knight is a woman, is ugly, and isn't that smart after all. Funny how much of real life is actually like that, too.

Next up, A Dance with Dragons.

The replies here are both sad and amusing... and either way Seun still smiles to the bank.

Yes, i support the thread-lock. The thread was almost drowning in children-of-summer drivel in my honest opinion. Valar posteris, all men post.

Back when the show was way behind the books, we had a strict rule of no book spoilers until it'd been aired on the show. The rule was followed and show-lovers had the noveau experience of watching the show pristine. Imagine if we'd all flooded the thread with our detailed and more versed literary knowledge as far back as season 3? Would anyone still have cared to comment on this thread? And now Seun simply says, "no spoilers for unaired episodes", and all you children of summer just couldn't hold your collective leaked enthusiasm for 3 stinking days! Shame. Shame. Shame. Why don't they watch the leaked episode, you say? Right. Just same way we could have also said, why don't they read the books? But we didn't. We'd read of the winter winds blow and the iron fleet reave and the dragonqueen wandering... and we knew this thread can only survive and blossom with the rules. But you children of summer, you... (sigh) you know nothing.

------------------------

Can we have some intelligent discussions now please? Enough of the derailing.

Sam kill a whitewalker with dragon glass not just any dagger. Nd also if u watch all Sam encounter with whitewalker they always hv d intention not to kill him just to knock him off even d night king saw him nd look away without leaving him a scratch

Ygirit shoot him more than 1 arrow it 3.2 at d bk 1 at d leg. Rewatch d scene

Obsidian is called dragonglass in the common tongue.

My point is that "plot amor" favored Jon Snow to have a valyrian steel along with him (the other Thenn that fought the WW first was a better fighter than Jon IMO, yet he died cos he had neither valyrian steel nor dragon-glass). Same way plot amor favored Samwell to meet a relatively "friendly" WW and an obsidian dagger lying around.
Scores: Jon - 1 WW, Samwell -1 WW. In other words, killing a WW can't stand as a true test of swordsmanship.

You're quite correct; Ygritte did feather him 3 times... but all were deliberately non-lethal. If they'd even followed the book, it would've been better cos Jon limped for weeks from that arrow. Instead he was up and about within 24hrs of getting back to the Wall. Jon was a poor spy; if Ygritte had wanted to kill him, Jon would have had all 3 arrows right through the heart.

Chysler:
Varys has so far failed no less than 3 times in a span of two episodes to provide any intelligence of the enemy's movement. They literally move armies of tens of thousands right under his nose. Where was the Tyrell army? are you going to tell me that a ten thousand men army can take a heavily fortified castle in a frontal assault (and they are willing to sustain the colossal losses even though the lannisters havev already lost more than half the army they started with at the war of the five kings)? Where's the realism that made this show so great? It's all gone down the drain for the sake of the plot.

The show ran out of source material (the books) last season, and sadly its really glaring now. It started with the miraculous arrival of the army of the Vale at the Battle of Bastards, then Varys miraculously shows up in Dorne a few minutes after leaving Meereen. Now whole armies are moving from one end of the realm to another in an eye-blink, and their opponents are amazingly ignorant of it until the army show up at their doorsteps. Varys' primary role as "the Spider" is now virtually redundant.

Brienne is way slower than john snow, she won't beat him either....

Nobody alive could beat Jamie in his prime. If that fight in season 1 had progressed without interruption, Ned Stark would have died that day.

Only two men in recent history were better than Jamie in their prime - Ser Arthur Dayne the Sword of the Morning and Ser Barristan Selmy a.k.a Barristan the Bold. But Barristan was no longer as young and fast as he used to be, and Ned Stark/Howland Reed took care of Arthur Dayne. Bronn, Daario, the Viper, the Hound, the Mountain, Brienne, Qhorin Halfhand... a healthy Jamie would've beaten them all (please don't even put Jon Snow on that list; Jamie would've wiped the floor with him). The Brave Companions committed a terrible atrocity when they took off Jamie's sword-hand.

Jon Snow is the strongest swordsman in Westros now and also a damn good spy.

Reasons:
-He did episonge job for the nights watch by infiltrating the wildlings.

-He fought and killed a commander of the Night King...how many people don do am?

-He fought the wildlings when they attacked the wall. A battle he commanded and won.

-He fought the bastard Ramsey and won!

Now tell me, how many powerful swordsmen in Westros now fought and won all their battles without been captured?

Btw, my Queen Cersei is winning our war before it even began.
All hail Cersei!

Actually...

- Jon did infiltrate the wildlings but he was a terrible spy. He never found out if the Mance Raydar's horn was the real deal or not. If Summer hadn't shown up, the Thenn would have killed him when he tried to escape. And then Ygritte got soft-hearted and let him off with just one arrow to the leg (Tormund confirms it when he reminded Ygritte that he's seen her kill a rabbit from 100yards with an srrow to the heart).

- Jon did kill a White Walker... with a Valyrian bastard-sword. Samwell Tarly killed his with just an obsidian dagger. Go figure.

- Jon did lead the battle against the wildlings at the Wall... but he wasn't winning; he was losing. 37 brothers of the Nights Watch vs. over 10,000 wildings; do the math. Go re-watch S02E10, and listen to what Jon says before he walks out towards the wildlings camp. Stannis Baratheon won that battle for the Night's Watch.

- Jon fought Ramsay Bolton and... lol, do i really need to waste words on this one??

A particular somebody needs to show more gratitude when next he sees Littlefinger!

People who've fought several battles and never lost one? Only one man - Robb Stark - and guess what? He's dead! Meanwhile, people who've fought and ran away like Sandor Clegane are still alive and kicking. Look, I get it, we all love Jon Snow, but the truth is that he's flawed in so many ways. He's neither the best fighter, the best battle commander, nor the best strategist. He's an honorable man and a good leader, and i love him for that, but that doesn't blind me to his many faults.

She was conceived at the last stages of the war. Aerys sends Rhaella and Vieserys to Dragonstone to escape the Sack of King's Landing. It's possible because months later is when Stannis is sent to take Dragonstone(he first had to build a fleet, the Baratheons didn't have one), at a time when Dany would already have been born.

Seems we saying same thing after all... what i call mid-stage is what you call late stage. Although i wouldn't term it late until after the Battle of the Trident. I think Dany was conceived before Rhaegar's death.

oluamid:
My observations after re-reading A Games of Thrones prologue:

Steel could actually be used to fight the others but only one with great skill could hope to win such a battle.

I wish I can copy out the exact text, but when Ser Weymar met with the other (in the prologue of A Game of Thrones) he raised up his sword above his head with trembling hands. The Other didn't attack immediately. Rather, its eyes went to the trembling sword and he watched it with rapt attention (Could it be the Other was afraid the sword might actually stand a chance against him? Could he be thinking it was Lightbringer?). When both of them started to "dance", Ser Weymar met the Other's sword many times (with his castle-forged steel sword). In fact, they fought for quite a while ("a flurry of blows". It was not until Ser Weymar was wounded and grew tired that his sword shattered on impact.

Does this mean steel could actually be used against the others but would require someone with great skill as to be able to win the fight without needing armour? Just thinking.

Can a Ser Barristan Selmy, a Jaime Lannister, A Brienne of Tarth, or an Oberyn Martell be able to withstand a fight with an Other using a steel sword? Would Jon Snow?

Can't believe I missed this post earlier...

I also observed same when I began my re-reads, especially that "flurry of blows" bit implying that they fought for quite a while. But the White Walker said something in a strange language - Wymar had been wounded by then - and when next their blades met, Wymar's longsword shattered. This made me think the shattering of the steel had some WW magic causing it. I mean, the WW did say something... If this is true, then it probably has little to do with skill.

But of course much later in Book3 ASOS, Samwell Tarly observes that the WW bring a cold "...so cold that it shatters steel". So its probably just the cold. But what a cold!

Dany was conceived; concieved at the last stage of the Rebellion. The Sack of King's Landing had already happened, and Ned had already left the Tower of Joy, and was heading for Starfall.

This is probably nitpicking but I disagree with the bolded. Dany is Aerys' daughter, and Aerys was killed in the sack of KL... can't be conceiving Dany if he's dead already now, can he? I think you mean when she was born.

Dany was conceived mid-stage of the Robert's rebellion, likely during the period between the Battle of Bells and the Battle on the Trident. Estimate some 3-4 months after and you have Rhaella's flight to Dragonstone and the sack of KL.

<Book 4: A Feast for Crows::

pg96/767

The captain had given her passage but he had no time to speak with her. Some of the crew shunned her, but others gave her gifts—a silver fork, fingerless gloves, a floppy woolen hat patched with leather. One man showed her how to tie sailor’s knots. Another poured her thimble cups of fire wine. The friendly ones would tap their chests, repeating their names over and over until Arya said them back, though none ever thought to ask her name. They called her Salty, since she’d come aboard at Saltpans, near the mouth of the Trident. It was as good a name as any, she supposed...

pg101/767

“Our voyage is at an end,” [The captain] told Arya... “Valar dohaeris.” He touched two fingers to his brow. “I beg you remember Ternesio Terys and the service he has done you.”
“I will,” Arya said in a small voice. The wind tugged at her cloak, insistent as a ghost. It was time she was away.

The crew of Titan's Daughter clearly wanted Arya to remember their names - and they never asked for hers. They thought she was a Faceless Man... implying that only Faceless Men carry the coin Jaqen had given her.

So... was Jaqen out to recruit Arya right from the start? Or was it all a chance meeting?
