|
|
Through nerve-wracking battle scenes, White Walkers constantly finding a way, and Bran just being Bran — it all came down to the Night King walking toward the young Three-Eyed Raven at the Weirwood tree.

The Night King isn't stepping up to Winterfell to fight Dany, Jon, and all their friends — he's there for Bran.
|
|
Bran was a climber, hanging from the parapets of Winterfell by his fingertips, running along the ridges of its roofs.
|
|
Now, 70 episodes later, Arya is showing off her fighting skills in the walls of Winterfell when Bran is unable.
|
|
Bran suggests trying out the "starbursting" method to organize all the overflowing TS7 evidence, from subtle countdowns to palm trees.
|
|
Why are Bran and Tyrion holding their small council meeting in what looks like the remains of the Red Keep?
|
|
However, the question still on everyone's minds: Did Bran know, at that point, that Arya would kill the Night King?
|
|
Is Bran just going to keep a third eye on Drogon, live cam-style, for the rest of his life?
|
|
Except this time, a much different Jamie is forced to reckon with what he did to a much different Bran.
|
|
As the Three-Eyed-Raven, Bran knows all, which might be why his expression is always half-concentration, half-wonder.
|
|
He tells Bran he has been watching him his whole life, and coaches him through his visions and warging abilities.
|
|
Even if he can't create alternate realities, Bran creates the present in Game of Thrones as we know it today.
|
|
Attempt three: Bran travels the farthest back and tries stopping the Children of the Forest from creating the Night King.
|
|
This person theorizes that Bran is the hero of the series, looking to stop the destruction he has already seen.
|
|
This theory is posited on the idea that Bran is the Lord of Light, which has yet to be confirmed.
|
|
Speaking of things we're looking forward to, Bran and Jaime finally have their face-to-face, one-on-one confrontation.
|
|
Their last exchange gave us the "chaos is a ladder" speech that Bran recently referenced in his conversation with Littlefinger.
|
|
He at least suspected the game was up back in episode 4, when Bran told him, 'Chaos is a ladder.
|
|
After seeing their abilities first-hand, Bran could potentially be traveling to Jon in an effort to prepare Winterfell's fighters.
|
|
The drawing showed the "catspaw blade"— the Valyrian steel dagger used in the assassination attempt against Bran on season one.
|
|
Isaac Hempstead Wright, who played Bran Stark on "Game of Thrones," did some voice acting on "Family Guy" in 2011.
|
|
Bran also creepily recounted Sansa's wedding night to her and apologized for everything she had to go through in Winterfell.
|
|
It might be an understatement to say that Bran Stark has gotten a bit weirder upon his return to Winterfell.
|
|
It requires a desire for justice and peace and balance, and Bran says he's no longer capable of desiring anything.
|
|
And since Bran is made entirely out of magic, I'm hoping he'll at least rack up the visions / wargings points.
|
|
Either Bran is set to have a plot-propelling revelation in Episode 2, or this tree stole his lunch money.
|
|
Writer George R.R. Martin's hat was endearing, and a barely recognizable Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) loomed in the background.
|
|
Representing George R. R. Martin's world were: Brienne (Kate McKinnon), Tormund (Mikey Day), Melisandre (Cecily Strong), and Bran (Kyle Mooney).
|
|
In Europe, Kellogg's cereal business - which makes Coco Pops and Bran Flakes - is sourced primarily from the UK, Cahillane said.
|
|
Theon has volunteered his hard-luck services as a bodyguard to Bran, who'll be human bait for the Night King.
|
|
Like Bran, they have a close relationship to the magical forces that have existed in Westeros for hundreds of years.
|
|
Both characters have changed tremendously since then: Jaime has been fully redeemed, and Bran has become the Three-Eyed Raven.
|
|
Imagine getting a new job and then getting dealt Bran as your main co-worker for an entire year. Fuck.
|
|
They were worshipped by the impish Children of the Forests, whom Bran has encountered in his journey to the North.
|
|
Which means he's technically free to join Sansa in an effort to recapture Winterfell and save Bran from the Boltons.
|
|
"Robert's Rebellion was built on a lie," reveals Bran Stark as he and Sam discuss the truth of Jon's parentage.
|
|
Without Hodor and Summer, Bran and Meera can't move very quickly or really defend themselves, which means they need help.
|
|
At one point, the Night King senses Bran spying on him through a murder of crows, and kicks him out.
|
|
When Jon said "Look at you, you're a man" with beaming eyes and Bran said "Almost..." Um, what the hell?
|
|
Understandably, Jon looked at Bran like he was a weirdo, because he is a weirdo, and walked away pretty swiftly.
|
|
It was an attempted murder, but Bran survived and has continued to live his life paralyzed from the waist down.
|
|
Bran immediately slips into vision #2, where he finds himself staring down the Night's King — leading into a classic bit.
|
|
Do you liken yourself a psychic like Bran and carry around a deck of Tarot cards in your back pocket?
|
|
The action-packed episode ends with Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) arriving at Winterfell and immediately locking eyes with Bran.
|
|
Three-Eyed Raven, an interesting combination of a dark ale and a pale, fruity saison, built on Bran Stark's quest.
|
|
In Game of Thrones, we want Bran to do something (read: anything) useful in the fight for the Iron Throne.
|
|
All that's missing is Bran in the background, staring off into space with that familiar blank expression on his face.
|
|
Oat and wheat bran cereals are good choices; one quarter-cup serving adds 6 whopping grams to your daily total.
|
|
Amid the chaos, Meera cuts through Bran's vision to convince him to warg into Hodor, who can carry Bran out.
|
|
Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran, told Entertainment Weekly that his character starts season 7 where we last left him.
|
|
Although Bran was responsible for the whole chain of events that killed Hodor, Hodor didn't have to hold that door.
|
|
Daenerys meets her future; Bran encounters his past; Tommen confronts the High Sparrow; and Arya trains to be No One.
|
|
Perhaps contact with the future drives people insane, or maybe Bran was attempting to warn him about the White Walkers.
|
|
Every character has their particular strength and Bran has been trying to get to his for the past five seasons.
|
|
Do you think this means Sam is going to spend all of Season 8 asking Bran questions like he's Siri?
|
|
Instead of providing Jon and Dany with useful military intelligence, Bran is apparently scraping time and space for wheelchair designs.
|
|
Bran is having visions of an old man in black rags, whom we've been told is the three-eyed raven.
|
|
That's how he meets Osha, who a season later is crucial in getting Bran out of Winterfell after Theon invades.
|
|
He even kinda sorta worked things out with Bran, whom he pushed out a window and paralyzed so long ago.
|
|
If so, they didn't say much, and so Bran was declared king and lord of the newly reconfigured "Six" Kingdoms.
|
|
Both Bran and Dany had glimpses of the future, but perhaps didn't recognize what they were seeing at the time.
|
|
If anything comes from Hodor dying, it should be that Bran realizes he can affect things in a major way.
|
|
Soon, Coldhands ends up guiding Bran, Meera, Jojen, and Hodor north of the wall to meet the Three-Eyed Raven.
|
|
On the way, though, Bran notices that Coldhands won't show his face, never eats, and doesn't seem to be breathing.
|
|
It's like Bran Stark is just a very small part of the Three-Eyed Raven entity as a whole now.
