He knows Dany has dragons. He knows his only real threat or threat to his campaign is right at his doorstep. And that threat is the brother of the kid just blessed as the 3 eyed raven. Did he do that to Bran? To send him back as spy under his domain? Is he symbiotic with Bran? It's something along those lines.
(I haven't seen the final episode. I promise. Not promise)

I good but I don't and can't read and stay up on game of thrones and Star Wars theories.
This one just seems likely to me.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
i doubt the future-seeing aspect of it. I know Bran can see visions of the past and uses warging into animals to see the present. The show kinda glosses over it, but his power is based around the weirwood trees and the faces on them seeing the events he can see. In the books they give people visions that are metaphors for things that are to come, but it isn't exactly prognosticatingdimejinky99 wrote:Mecca wrote:Dime is putting a lot of faith into theories and speculation.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
Two things I've been thinking about:
1. If Dany and Cersei are going to parlay next week and form a temporary alliance, they'll probably have to exchange hostages, right? We've know since Season 1 that that's how peace is forged between warring houses. Whom does each of them give up? Dany will obviously ask for Jaime (although I don't think Cersei will give in to that); does Cersei ask for a dragon? For Jon? Missendei?
2. I'm worried that there aren't enough episodes left for this, but I'm still hoping that we get some sort of more information on the White Walkers' motivations and characters. Hopefully they're not just ice zombies. Part of me thinks that maybe we've already gotten all we're going to get, i.e., that since they were created by the Children of the Forest, they're seeking revenge. But why would they just want revenge against men, since it was the Children who made them? Maybe they just want to kill Bran because of his connection to the Children? Maybe they're just mad, and there's no good reason for what they're doing? Hopefully it's not the last one.

It's weird to me that that slipped through in a scene that was so CGI'ed. And the CGI was all good!
