Okay, leaks are still not in and that is probably the best thing. Here's a chance for all of us to put our views on important characters. Bran is among the 5 most important characters central to the plot as mentioned by GRRM. Though I should mention that as the book/show progressed GRRM distanced himself from his earlier plotlines and so now the story has many important characters central to the plot and not just 5.
Bran (Brandon) - the name itself is very important as so many legends are associated with past and semi-fictional (legendary) characters with the same name. Let us know your thoughts regarding what possible role Bran might play and whether he survives or not. Some even go on to say he might have something to do with the Night King? What's you take on that?

Bran is not a character to start with, only a cheap writing trick. Worst piece in the story.

Discussing recaps is possible to some extent because I don't have to sit through the cringe ordeal but I won't re-watch Season 6. |

Are you asking about his role in season 8, or in the future books?? Remember Martin has very little to do with the current direction of the show, his five central characters are not the same as D&D's central characters. D&D very clearly don't like Bran, they completely cut him from season five, and in all subsequent season's his simply there to give the big Jon Snow parentage reveal. The show has already given their explanation on the Night Kings origins, so Bran is definitely not him. I think the most we can hope from Bran is that he wargs a dragon, but otherwise he won't have a large role in the season. |

Ye Yeah, the book Bran is definitely more important in terms of importance to the story and is also a much better character. There is this one theory going about that draws parallels between the death of Starks with the death of their respective direwolves. Summer died fighting the army of the dead and there is this prediction that Bran might also die the same way. I personally hope that Bran gets some important part in the last war because based on the importance given to him so far it would feel rather stupid if he is only to reveal Jons parentage, which is the most boring part of the show right now. |

I wouldn't hold my breath. Season 7 was such a disappointment, its hard to see the show bouncing back to a truly satisfying conclusion for all characters, especially with only six episodes. In regards to the Direwolf theory, I don't think the Stark children's fates are linked to their Direwolves, but I will say that in the books the wolves seem to help a great deal in bringing out their Warging abilities. Whoever sent Momma Direwolf (My money is on Bloodraven) clearly wanted to enhance all the children's mental abilities. To what end is still a mystery, but I'd say its certain the show won't give us a gratifying answer. |

In regards to the Direwolf theory, I don't think the Stark children's fates are linked to their Direwolves, It works quite well. Robb and his wolf died the same way. The same happened with Rickon and his. Bran became the "3-Eyed-Raven" when Summer died. We can consider Bran Stark dead as such, he is now something else. Arya became estranged like her wolf and will never really find her way back. She's a wild animal. Sansa was cut from her wolf's destiny and saved into staying normal. She will survive. Jon remains and I don't see what's in store for him. I expect them to disappear too. I could see Jon retire if he survives, abdicate like Diocletian. |

Hey jackass, the theory is about the fates of starks matching with the fates of their direwolves. If the theory is correct then Sansa dies. If Sansa survives then the theory doesn't match. It's just a coincidence if one or two of the cases match or if you deliberately try to fit the theory by writing forceful explanations as in the case of Bran Stark. You know what moron, you have a behavioural problem whereby you try to appear smart. You ain't. Seto actually has some extremely brilliant insights as even proven in his last post but you are shitty cersei wanker who has nothing insightful to say and deliberately try to contradict people just because you are sad little jealous fcuk. |
